Immediate past Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, is allegedly plotting to relocate from the United Kingdom where she is receiving treatment for cancer to the Commonwealth of Dominica.

According to the Nation, she plans to do this in order to avoid facing prosecution for alleged corruption perpetrated while in office. She is believed to be a citizen of the Commonwealth Dominica, a Caribbean country with only 72,000 people.


Alison-Madueke’s citizenship of the Commonwealth of Dominica was confirmed in May 29, 2015 and investigator in the UK has started keeping tabs on her movements after this detail was revealed by anti-corruption groups in the UK.

A letter obtained by investigators shows that there was plan to make her the country’s Trade and Investment Commissioner, which in effect grants her diplomatic immunity from arrest and criminal prosecution.

“I think the NCA is suspecting that she acquired the citizenship of the Commonwealth of Dominica with the intent to relocate to this country. This has opened a fresh bend into our investigation,” a source said last night. “It is not impossible that she had planned to escape to Dominica ahead of the inauguration of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, because her appointment ought to be effective from June 1, 2016 for an initial period of three years.


“She has been placed under stricter surveillance in the light of the latest development. While the diplomatic aspect is being handled by the appropriate quarters, I can tell you that the NCA is collaborating with many agencies to bring her to account for any allegation against her.
