The immediate past Minister of
Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-
Madueke, was on Friday arrested in
London, PREMIUM TIMES can exclusively
and authoritatively report.


The former minister, who was one of the
most powerful officials of the President
Goodluck Jonathan administration, was
arrested Friday morning alongside four
other people by the British law
enforcement agency.


The identities of the four other people
arrested along with her could be
immediately ascertained.


PREMIUM TIMES learnt she was arrested
for offences related to bribery and
corruption being investigated by the UK
National Crime Agency.


Two top British officials in London have
however confirmed the development to
this newspaper. They requested not to be
named because they have no permission
to speak on the issue.


The British High Commission in Nigeria
confirmed that some arrests were made
Friday but declined to disclose the
identities of those involved.


Joseph Abuku, Press and Public Affairs
Officer, said, “This morning, five people
between the ages of 21 and 60 were
arrested on suspicion of bribery and
corruption offences. The crimes are
being investigated by the National Crime
Agency.


“The National Crime Agency does not
confirm identity at arrest nor provide
information that could be used to
corroborate the identity of an arrested
individual.”


It is not clear whether the former
minister was arrested based on request
from the Nigerian government.


President Muhammadu Buhari had on
September 27 hinted that those who
misappropriated billions of naira
belonging to Nigeria’s state oil company
NNPC, would soon be prosecuted.


Mr. Buhari said at a meeting with
President Xi Jinping of China in New York
that his administration was determined
to fully sanitize Nigeria’s oil industry and
make it totally free of corruption and
shady deals.


The President did not, however, say how
soon the prosecutions would start or if
indeed investigations had been
concluded and whether culpable individuals had been
identified.

The NNPC under the immediate past administration of
President Goodluck Jonathan was involved in several
shady deals, many of which have been cancelled by the
present government.


However, Mrs. Alison-Madueke, accused of several
corrupt dealings, has stayed away from Nigeria since
Mr. Buhari was sworn-in as president.
