Although the former petroleum minister was later released on bail pending investigation, a report by the Wall Street Journal has revealed that the US is considering also taking action against her. It was revealed that there might be visa ban and financial ban on the former minister, her allies, some other politicians and oil officialsAlthough both the State Department and the UK’s National Crime Agency did not publicize their findings, a State Department official said:“We continue to work with Nigeria to fight corruption. The real issue is the signaling effect: that holding public office in Nigeria should not be a license to plunder,”said Bismarck Rewane, the managing director of the Lagos research firm Financial Derivatives Co.“It’s working. The number of bribes I’m being asked for has dropped.”
