I Never Stole Nigeria Money - Alison-madueke by sirvic29(m): 8:48am On Nov 14, 2015 |
I never stole Nigeria’s
money –Alison-Madueke
Adeola Balogun and Jesusegun Alagbe
A former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs.
Diezani Alison-Madueke, has said she did not
use her position to steal Nigeria’s money.
Alison-Maduekwe, who looked frail told the
Publisher of Ovation Magazine and TheBoss
Newspaper, Dele Momodu, said she performed
her duties to the best of her knowledge and
abilities.
Alison-Madueke was recently arrested by
officials of the National Crime Agency, United
Kingdom over suspected money laundering
activities.
The former minister had been alleged to have
used her position as minister to steal billions of
naira from the country’s coffers.
In June 2008, Alison-Madueke was subject to a
Senate probe after it emerged that as
Transport Minister she had paid N30.9bn
($263m) to contractors between December 26
and 31, 2007. She is said to be worth over N1bn.
However, she has never been officially charged
or tried for these allegations and has strongly
denied any wrongdoing. She was alleged to have
spent billions of dollars inappropriately on
private jets and responsible for some missing
$20bn.
She is also widely accused of reckless spending
of government funds.
In October 2009, the Senate indicted her and
recommended prosecution for the alleged
transfer of N1.2bn into the private account of
a toll company without due process and in
breach of concession agreement.
However, the allegations have never been taken
to law, and the former minister had
maintained innocence.
