Poll: According to the Prosecutors, "there is no Evidence that she awarded contracts to people that don't deserve it" if there is no evidence of wrongdoing, why are they wasting their time in court ?

They are going after her because she received gifts (Bribes) from people doing business with state owned entities 72% (111 votes)

This is a useless case, unless they can prove that she gave contracts to people that don't deserve it, this is just Witch Hunting. Anyone can gift anybody luxury gifts and that doesn't make the recipient corrupt. 27% (42 votes)

British prosecutors have accused Diezani Alison-Madueke, Nigeria’s former minister of petroleum resources, of accepting bribes in the form of luxury goods and use of high-level properties from industry figures.

The prosecutors on Tuesday appeared before the Southwark crown court in London, United Kingdom (UK), in continuation of Alison-Madueke’s trial

The former minister, along with Olatimbo Ayinde, an oil executive, and Doye Agama, her brother, is facing trial on a five-count charge bordering on accepting bribes. They pleaded not guilty.

According to Reuters, Alexandra Healy, a prosecutor, told the jurors that the former minister “enjoyed a life of luxury in London”, which was provided by those interested in oil contracts in Nigeria.

Healy said Alison-Madueke was given high-end properties and luxury goods by people who believed that she would use her influence to favour them for oil contracts.

The prosecutor said Kolawole Aluko, another Nigerian businessman, who is named in one charge but is not standing trial, spent more than two million pounds on items for Alison-Madueke at Harrods, a UK-based luxury store.

Healy told the jurors that the former minister, alongside her family, frequently stayed in a mansion outside London bought by Aluko.

The prosecutor said Aluko bought the mansion through a company for 3.25 million pounds and paid for bills, staff and refurbishments.

Healy told the court that there was no evidence the former minister awarded contracts to someone who did not deserve them.

The prosecutor said it was improper for her to have accepted bribes from those doing business with government-owned entities.

Alison-Madueke was minister of petroleum resources from 2010 to 2015 during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

She was also elected president of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in 2014.

Every president tenure has one scapegoat after they left office. I'm very sure, Tinubu will have one as well.

My comrade don’t go there. Thief na thief. Whether Apc or PDP. One thing they have in common is that they don’t have our interests at heart.
We must condemn all irrespective of affiliation.

They way our media is beaming the spotlight on Alison is ridiculous.

Yes, she stole. Let's move on.

Focus on Yahaya Bello, the man who is still enjoying after looting Kogi dry.

APC is very dangerous. Very.

Exactly what I said. In APC, you're a saint immediately you are welcomed into their fold.

APC has magically vanished many corruption cases against bastards who have looted the country dry. Very irresponsible party for rogues.

Nigerians deserved what they want.
Those people don't just get to those positions.
It is one or two Nigerians who accepted bribe to allow them in position and in return they steal as usual to refund their money.

No saint among tinubu, obi and atiku, they are all crooks and corrupt.
One thing tinubu has more than the two is leadership. And then I wonder if voting the two old men jumping from one party to another and can even build a party from a scratch not to talk of building Nigeria.

You can't give what you don't have......
Nigeria is more complex than just holding onto power.
