My question is , if this woman is found guilty will UK return the stolen fund to nigeria. Because I dont just like those guys when it come to cases like this

Sincerely, at this stage, it seems I care more about the punishment to be served on rubber plate for this frog-eyed thief than the repatriation of the stolen funds.

See her eyeballs like benz c class headlights! Only useful for seeing dollars, euros and pounds and not the rot in our oil sector! Bloody thief!

If not that this woman have Phd in thieving, how can one person amass 3.7bn? Chai...when there are people dying of hunger day by day. In fact, her sentence should be longer than 3rd mainland bridge.

THERE were indications on xMonday on how a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke and a former Managing Director of a parastatal under the NNPC got themselves into trouble with the police in the United Kingdom.

The PUNCH learnt that the purchase of houses each in London by the former minister and the sacked NNPC top shot had sent the police investigators after them since 2013.

Alison-Madueke and the ex-MD had bought a house each in London through a mortgage but the two were said to have attracted suspicion when they offered to pay huge sum to clear the mortgage on the properties.

A source said the ex-minister’s house cost £12.5m. The source was however silent on the cost of the house bought by the former MD of the subsidiary of the NNPC.

It was learnt that the UK’s National Crimes Agency had dispatched a team to Abuja for an investigation into the incomes of the affected public officers because of the huge amount of money that was being paid steadily to defray the amount on the mortgage.

The source explained that the police suspected that the mortgaged London properties might have been serviced with laundered money from the Government of Nigeria.

The source said, “This particular investigation did not originate from Nigeria. I can tell you that this is different from the investigation being conducted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission into the financial operations of the NNPC under Alison-Madueke.

“This is a strictly UK investigation and it has to do with the procurement of a property in the UK for £12.5m through a mortgage arrangement in London.

“The UK authorities became suspicious when they realised that the agreed monthly amount for the mortgage was too high for the income of a public official without other sources of income.

“You know the (UK) people; they kept quiet when the whole arrangement was going on in 2013. They allowed the funds to go into their economy before they moved in against them with the intent to seize the properties.

“She was not the only person that bought the properties. The other guy, a close ally from the NNPC also bought a house in London. These are the issues the UK police are investigating.”

The investigation, which commenced in 2013 climaxed Friday last week with the arrest of Alison-Madueke and four others by the UK police for alleged fraud.

The EFCC raided the residence of the ex-minister at Asokoro same day she was arrested in the UK.

Although the raid did not yield any huge financial recovery contrary to media reports, the operatives from the Subsidy Unit of the EFCC carted away several documents from the residence.

The EFCC operatives, who insisted that only N1.2m was recovered from the Asokoro residence of the minister, said that the files moved away from her house were being analysed.

When contacted, the spokesperson for the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, on Monday declined to comment on the Alison-Madueke saga.

Uwujaren said he did not know anything about the ex-minister’s case.

Meanwhile, the British National Crime Agency on Monday obtained court permission to temporarily seize £27,000 (N8.078m) from a former petroleum resources minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, Reuters reports.

The ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s oil minister between 2010 and 2015 and her cohorts were arrested in London last Friday and charged with money laundring offences.

Reuters quoted an administrative officer at the Westminster Magistrates’ Court as saying on Monday that the NCA had applied to the court for an order to seize various sums of money in relation to Alison-Madueke and two other women for up to six months.

The administrative officer did not provide any information on the link between the three women.

The NCA had on Friday issued a short statement saying its International Corruption Unit had arrested five people in London as part of an inquiry into suspected bribery and money laundering offences.

The NCA did not name those arrested but said all five had been released on conditional police bail, pending further investigations in Britain and overseas. It said the investigation had started in 2013.

But the Federal Government through presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, had confirmed late on Sunday the arrest of the former minister and that “the government of Nigeria is collaborating with the UK authority in the investigations and her trial.”

Yes it's her body buh she always post almost all part of d body 4 us 2 c which is weird

She's a lady nt a dude n shuld act lyk a female character smtyms

There is no law anywhere that says you must act your gender. There are worse so-called celebs displaying boobs and yansch everytime on the internet and in movies, yet because you pick on someone who has a body that aligns with the nature of her job. If she has protruded belly, you guys will be the first to mock. Get the gist, it is her body. Let her flaunt it the way she wants. What you consider not appealing, someone else is dying for it.

maestroferddi:
Every forgotten politician is now using Diezani's travails to sound important.

The last time I checked, DAM has not been convicted by the British authorities. She will certainly have her day in court.

We are talking of Nigeria's largely partisan judicial system but the highly reliable British legal system.

Let's see how it all turns out...

Kuje prison awaits her...

EgusiSoup:
Good day all,

Sequel to the recent political witch hunt that have trailed our ex-minister of Petroleum in the guise of corruption investigations, I would like to categorically postulate that those bent on bringing this lovely, beautiful, and kind woman to her knees will never succeed.

Here is a woman who has been recognized all over the world as a game changer in the oil and gas sector, a woman the world appointed to be the OPEC chairman inspite of numerous challenges and hurdles limiting women in terms of gender discrimination, a woman of class, respect and dexterity.

If my hero, Deziani Alison-Madueke is corrupt as these Northern cabals say, why has OPEC not relieved her of her appointment?? Where is the evidence that she is what they say she is? They may try to paint her as a devil but the only statement I have in her defence is that "he who is without sin should cast the first stone"

I have decided to go on a one month dry fasting on her behalf and I plead with all well meaning nairalanders to join me in this fast as we intercede for this living legend.

Please join me.

Those guys will be good to use as lab rats in an experiment to understand how a set of human beings react to certain news as they do.

When ones source of livelihood or hope is tied to an unhealthy stream of shameful public looting and that flow is cut off, he or she has no choice but to rant and wail even when the obvious is out there in the air. That is the case of these shameful nairalanders that openly support and are ready to die for leaders that ordinarily should be branded as common thieves. It simply tells us a single fact, "they are also "potential thieves" and if given the opportunity to serve this country, they will force Nigerians to believe that corruption is not stealing. Please we wholeheartedly regret having a president who in the face of economic degradation applauded corruption. We will not go back to that era.

A typical example of show of shame is the fellow right above me who should still be cooling his heels in kirikiri but was pitifully released as a result of independence day presidential pardon.

Most importantly, we want to see these thieves behind bars and let Nigerians know that no one is above the law.

Please EFCC and UK police, just pack all 'packables' and add dem join dat list. It is time Nigeria starts ridding itself of miscreants that have lived fat on the nation's wealth. One by one, we will get there. Passingshot (above me), you've said it all. Wailing wailers will not like the news. Trust me, news like this is not also meant to give them peace of mind. It is meant to give the likes of chukwudi44, temitemi, barcaheater, severe-anus-rape, oressmusomtinsomtin, high BP. Just wait and see how they will bombard this place and start commenting like patients with chronic mental disorder.

Anti-graft investigators with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission are currently interrogating a former managing director of one of the subsidiaries of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and three former executive directors of the oil corporation under ex-Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke.

The four are said to be under investigation by officials of the Subsidy Unit of the EFCC and their counterparts from the National Crime Agency of the United Kingdom in relation to the former minister’s case.

The PUNCH learnt on Sunday that the ex-NNPC MD and the three former EDs had already been directed to be reporting to investigators.

The four were said to be “very close” to Alison-Madueke while in office.

An EFCC source said the ex-minister might appear in court on Monday (today).

“The man has been sacked now. He has been reporting to the EFCC since. Even three former executive directors are also reporting to the EFCC to tell the agency what they know about the NNPC funds,” a top official of the anti-graft agency said.

Check however indicated that the former MD being investigated was not among the oil barons that were picked up in the UK for alleged complicity in the money laundering case against the former minister.

It was further gathered that security agents were also probing an estranged ally of the former minister and two others in the UK.

The UK authorities have been keeping the identities of the affected people in line with their practice of keeping the identities of those arrested until they are taken to court.

Our correspondents could not get the Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, on Sunday as calls to his mobile telephone line indicated that it had been switched off.

But a top operative of the EFCC said on Sunday that the EFCC investigation into the activities of the NNPC was not just about Alison-Madueke.

The source said that more people could be grilled in relation to the probe of the corporation.

The source added that the UK Police, which had been monitoring the former minister for close to two years, had “something substantial” before moving against her.

Meanwhile, a former Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, while speaking on the recent arrest and bail of Alison-Madueke, dismissed insinuations that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration was out to settle political scores.

Tsav, who spoke on the telephone with one of our correspondents, noted that the former minister lived like she was above the law.

Tsav cited Alison Madueke’s refusal to appear before the National Assembly to answer charges of malfeasance levelled against her as evidence of her “arrogance” and disdain for the legislature and the country’s laws.

He said, “When (ex-President Goodluck) Jonathan was still in power, the National Assembly invited her several times to answer questions on some of these issues but she never honoured any of the invitations.

“Even when the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, now Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi, made the allegations that US$20bn was not accounted for; she refused to appear before the National Assembly.”

Tsav said Nigeria had had the privilege of having credible women such as Gambo Sawaba, Margaret Ekpo and Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, who fought for the good of society and wondered why it had become increasingly difficult to replicate their outstanding performances.

He described as embarrassing the fact that Nigeria still depended almost completely on the British police and its criminal justice system to bring our corrupt public officials to book, 55 years after our independence.

According to him, corruption is more than anything else responsible for the inability of our criminal justice system and our anti-graft agencies to act decisively over the past few years.

Tsav said, “Our anti-corruption agencies in Nigeria are not effective, apparently because there is too much political interference.

“In the case of (ex-Delta State Governor James) Ibori for instance, they found him not guilty in Nigeria but he was arrested, prosecuted and convicted in the UK.

“These agencies are either corrupt themselves or their activities are being interfered with by politicians. But I would rather believe that they themselves are corrupt and they are not willing to perform their duties very well.”
