A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Department of State Services (DSS) and other security agencies to arrest Diezani Alison-Madueke, the former minister of petroleum, within 72 hours.

According to The Cable, the order was issued by Justice Valentine Ashi based on a motion filed by the counsel to the EFCC, Msuur Denga.

Denga had earlier prayed the court to issue a warrant for the former minister’s arrest to enable the anti-graft agency arraign her in court.

The EFCC investigated the former minister along with Jide Omokore, a former Chairman, Atlantic Energy Drilling Company, following a petition dated October 2, 2013, from Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, CACOL, bordering on money laundering and official corruption.

EFCC said in a statement that investigations into the petition revealed that Mrs Alison-Madueke as supervising minister of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, was found to have engaged in illicit and monumental fraudulent dealings in oil transactions, which she entered into on behalf of the Federal Government.

Mrs Alison-Madueke and Mr Omokore are also alleged to have accepted and given gifts in properties located at Penthouse 22, Block B, Admiralty Estate, Ikoyi, and Penthouse 21, Building 5, Block C, Banana Island, Lagos.

They are to be arraigned on February 25, 2019 on a five-count charge for the offences, which are contrary to Sections 26(1) of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000.

When the matter came up on Monday the Commission however filed application for warrant of arrest, condition precedent for Mrs Alison-Madueke’s extradition protocol to bring her back home to face trail.

The prosecution told the court that Mrs Alison-Madueke, who is currently in the United Kingdom, jetted out of the country while investigations into the alleged fraudulent acts were ongoing.

The court today, granted the ex parte motion, and ordered the security agencies to provide Mrs Alison-Madueke within 72 hours, for her to face the charge preferred against her.

“The Inspector General of Police, the Chairman of the EFCC, the Attorney General, the Department of State Services, are hereby ordered in the name of the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria to apprehend and arrest the first defendant and produce her before this court for further directives within 72 hours,” the judge held.

Anything PDP touches is always stained,I don't know why.

No peace for the wicked
Anyone who steals from Nigerians and kept the poorest of the poor in abject poverty, (s)he will know no peace till death.
And his/her children who partook in such loots will end up like their parents.

I am pained in the spirit by this news.
We shall not allow this evil government rule this country beyond 2019.
Buhari and his cohorts must be sent back to Daura.

What manner of fvckery is this?

When will the court instruct the arrest of Babachir Lawal or that of Abdulrasheed Maina?
When will Buratai's Dubai apartments be probed?
When will Kemi Adeosun be jailed for forgery and perjury?
When will the DSS investigate Senator Misau's indictment of the IGP and prosecute him?

The same courts that have prohibited any investigation into Ganduje's bribery scandal is ordering the arrest of Diezani Allison-Madueke?

My only prayerpoint this Shiloh is for the good Lord to visit all supporters of this tyrannical administration with incurable elephantiasis of the scrotum.

She wanted to come back and face the charges but EFCC refused previously accusing her of trying to evade justice in London.

EFCC should just stop being foolish and exhibit a bit of professionalism. The Agency should have a plan and rules of engagement.

SoNature:

Including buhari and Tinubu

DSS who are the direct descendants of the NSC...I laugh in signs and wonders.

Catch me if you can
Until babachir is in max, these people are a bunch of jokers

Stories....

This thief and criminal left the country since PMB won the Presidential election back in 2015 and she has never set her foot on her mother's land since then.

Only the guilty are afraid.
She stole money that will make her even richer than the Richest woman in Africa and beyond.

In a sane society, She, Jonathan and all other 40 thieves that raped and ransacked this country will be in prison for the longest time.

But as long as God lives, no evil and corrupt politicians will ever go scot free from what they did to this nation, no matter the party they are, either APC or PDP or any other party.
Painful end await them all.

Diezani, you can never ever escape punishment, dire punishment for all the actrocities you commited before running away!

d

I still can't believe any right thinking Nigerian would ever think of voting for pdp after the chronic looting, but then again I'm not suprised pdp supporters mostly from the redmud caliphate are known to put their fickle emotions before common sense.

hmmm

Lol

Guess the court fully knows that Deziani Allison Maduekwie is still outside the shore of Nigeria? So have the govt.applied for her extradition yet?

EFCC once filed a suit to even preventing her from coming baxk from the UK to defend or even stand trial here in Nigeria.Confused country. Meanwhile waiting for when the court will also issue a warrant of arrest for:
-Ayo Oke,
-Abba Kyari,
-Mikanti Baru,
-Orji Uzor Kalu,
-Kemi Adeosun,
-Lawal Babachir,
-Rotimi Amaechi,
-Musiliu Obanikoro,
-Adams Oshiomole,
-NHIS Sec-Prof.Yusuf,
-Abdulrasheed Maina,
-Keep in view; Ganduje(after his current tenure)
-All the indicted persons involved in grounding down the Nigeria Airways that are now highly placed stalwarts in the APC.

Or else what?
