The Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, has asked Nigerians in the Diaspora to put pressure on the United Kingdom to release a former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Allison Madueke, to face trial over alleged corruption in Nigeria.


Magu made the plea during a virtual town hall meeting with Nigerians in Diaspora, Vanguard reports.

The EFCC boss assured Nigerians in the Diaspora of business protection at home, stressing that local fraudsters frustrating Diasporans from investing in Nigeria would henceforth be dealt with.

He said the EFCC was aware of the frustration, uncertainties and risks which local fraudsters are posing to credible businessmen and women abroad, who wish to invest in the Nigerian economy.

“The EFCC is ready to offer intelligence services to anyone seeking genuine business partners in Nigeria. The profiles of potential business partners in Nigeria would be obtained and delivered to the foreign-based investors and this would assist them in taking decisions on whom to partner with locally.

“We can also offer intelligence on any line of business desired by the Nigerian in the Diaspora. We are ready to do all these to encourage credible and serious investors who do not want to be defrauded by fraudsters at home”.

Magu charged Nigerians in the Diaspora to avail themselves of the opportunities in the country
and bring more investments into the local economy.

He also tasked them to support the anti-graft war by exposing foreign assets of local politicians by taking advantage of the government’s whistleblowing policy.

Magu expressed displeasure over the continued difficulties being faced by the EFCC to bring Allison-Madueke to trial, stressing that Nigerians in the United Kingdom should form pressure groups to demand her trial.

He said, “Nigerians in the United Kingdom need to collaborate with the EFCC more and pressure the authorities there to assist the EFCC in bringing Diezani to trial.

“Does it not bother Nigerians in that country that Diezani has not been brought to trial for the heinous allegations of corruption against her in Nigeria?”

ok

And why would we pressure the UK to do that?The EFCC and the people going to try her in 9ja are even more corrupt than Diezani.

America and UK will Never allow this country to divide Because they benefit massively from one Nigeria.

Kanu don't know his haters yet. He will crying crying and go and meet his ancestors.

Lol see levels ooo.

If the chief anti-graft body of Africa's most populous nation cannot persuade the UK to run an investigation on a former government official, na common Nigerians go come petition them.


Who go write the petition


Look at that stupid last sentence sef. Even common Orji Uzor Kalu you could not successfully secure a conviction. Finish with the ones at home first.

Ok

Why exactly is it difficult to extradite the woman?

EFCC no dey tire for dis woman case?

Why? The same Nigerians that have been pressuring EFCC to investigate Tinubus Bullion vans but the EFCC has refused to...EFCC please leave Nigerians out of your selective justice

If Obasanjo was president, that thief diezani will be in kirikiri already.


Bubu nor get level

UNICALKING:
EFCC no dey tire for dis woman case?

Malabite.....no mind them....



EFCC can go to hell.... Diezanie isn't their problem and she's not the only person that will make their goals fulfilled....



They've other serious pressing issues on their desks.... they should deal with it....




I do not support crime.... EFCC is an intelligent agency and I expect better from them rather than coming out everytime to cry over their incompetence....

what's in it for us, abacha loot we no see

Hmmm

Can the EFCC assure us that she will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and if she's found guilty there's actually a prison cell waiting for her?

Ibrahim Magu is a brainless goat https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/243772-efcc-blocks-ex-minister-alison-maduekes-offer-return-nigeria-trial.html

we pressured u to trial tinubu u refused,we pressured u to trial obasa u refused and now u have forgotten what ur work entails and u expect us to do ur work for u.first send us ur salary,then we might consider

This EFCC must be very stupid.Same woman who was eager to return to Nigeria & EFCC when to secure a court injunction restraining her coming to Nigeria to stand trial?
Now you're begging Nigerians to do your work for you?
Dumbasses!

EFCC blocks ex-Minister Alison-Madueke’s offer to return to Nigeria for trial
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/243772-efcc-blocks-ex-minister-alison-maduekes-offer-return-nigeria-trial.html

Meanwhile, what have the EFCC done with the case of Ayodele Fayose, Abdulrasheed Maina, Danjuma Goje etc? Absolutely nothing.Selective justice is repugnant to natural justice.EFCC should fight corruption fairly and justly.

samincredible44:
We pressured u to trial Tinubu & Obasa buy you refused.Now u have forgotten what ur work entails & expect us to do ur work for you.......

The hypocrisy of the anti-corruption agencies under the hypocritical APC government since inception is simply glaring for all to see.Anyone that still holds the notion that this government is fighting corruption must be mad. Even zombies cant defend this rubbish but they will still cheer on.

She offered to return by herself initially una refuse

Smh. A country that does not obey law does not deserve our good gesture .

The world power are behind this woman

Handle minister of disaster first

Try the once in Nigeria and convict them first. Then UK would take u seriouse.

EFCC OF APC

shebi Nnamdi kanu has warned them peeping at patince jonathan or deziani wrapper is inviting trouble they dont use to hear word. Notice how they tacitly avoided patience jonathan, thats to tell you how powerful is ipob.

I don't understand the kind of politics EFCC is playing.

This talk is for people that dont know..

Nobody is pressurizing any UK for you. Have you tried the ones stealing under your nose?

How is kanu related to the topic.Kindly take your bigotry elsewhere.
