A 7-person team of anti-corruption police officers from the National Crime Agency (NCA) is currently in Nigeria to interview several associates and accomplices of former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke.

SaharaReporters learned that the British detectives, comprising of four women and three men, were in Nigeria as part of efforts to build a solid case in order to commence the former minister’s trial early next year.

Our correspondent learned that one of the major players being interrogated by the UK detectives is Donald Chidi Amamgbo, a California-based lawyer. Our source disclosed that Mr. Amamgbo played a key role in moving funds wired by several Nigerian oil dealers with whom Mrs. Alison-Madueke had fraudulent deals running into billions of dollars.

Our source revealed that the detectives had already interrogated a controversial oil sector businessman, Jide Omokore, adding that the beleaguered businessman had provided critically useful information on some of the deals. Mr. Omokore is currently on bail after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission arrested and charged him for fraud. Mr. Amamgbo was briefly detained by the EFCC, but granted “administrative bail.”

The UK investigative team is also expected to interrogate several oil dealers who were close to Mrs. Alison-Madueke, and who played one role or another in a web of international financial crimes during the former minister’s helm. Our source stated that some of the players being sought by British investigators for interviews are outside of Nigeria. One such participant, Benny Peters, is currently holed up in Paris, France.

Another one, Igho Sanomi, is believed to be in Miami, Florida at the moment.

Our source revealed that UK investigators were looking into close to 20 cases against Mrs. Alison-Madueke. However, the case that has the most traction has to do with how the former minister allegedly used straw companies set up by Mr. Amamgbo to launder billions of dollars.

Some of the laundered funds were used to purchase 17 properties in the UK and elsewhere.

According to our source, the oil dealers under investigation reportedly offered large payoffs to Mrs. Alison-Madueke for oil swap deals. The payoffs were often wired directly to Mr. Amamgbo, who then acted as a front for the former minister. An unnamed UK lawyer of Indian descent is also being investigated for his alleged involvement in the case.

Mrs. Alison-Madueke is currently in the UK undergoing treatment for cancer. The NCA had earlier confiscated some funds from the former minister, her mother, and the wife of a Ghanaian businessman, Kevin Okyere, who is also named in a series of shady deals involving Mrs. Alison-Madueke.

I guess what the government is cooking for Diezani Alison-Madueke has just finished cooking....





It looks so well cooked, soft, fresh and pleasant to the eyes, that's why they allowed it to fallow for sometimes now

Am not bothered about DEziani because her case is worst than those down here. When her case fully commenced, people will understand why British Authorities are taking their time. Their main aim is to jail her. Ibori comes to mind.

Nigeria! Why is it that only past politicians from Niger Delta are always victimized after they leave office in Nigeria, why why why

1. James Ibori
2. Diepreye Alamieyeseigha
3. Diezani Alison Madueke
4. Dame Patience Jonathan
5. Government Ekpemupolo (aka Tompolo)


We all as citizens of Nigeria need to do more to unite this country if we must be one united, developed nation. We mustn't allow UK, US, et al to always bring distress and disunity in our nation only to flee to their land when trouble ensues.....only to be reporting us in their bias media platforms as war torn country whereas they contributed in making our country war torn cry cry


We have more corrupt past political leaders like:

1. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo - the man that bastardized political looting in Nigeria who deserves to be in maximum security prison angry angry
2. Bola Ahmed Tinubu
3. Atiku Abubakar
4. Theodore Orji
5. Ikedi Ohakim
6. Theophilus Danjuma
7. Abacha family
8. Turai Yaradua (that milked Nigeria dry after her husband's death)
9. Adams Oshiomhole
10. El Rufai

Etc, etc, etc

Yet these corrupt politicians walk freely but just the few Niger Deltans that occupied top political posts in Nigeria, we Nigerians want to join effort with UK/US to kill them and still live in peace


efilefun:
Abeggi park well, Never knew Dasuki was also from Niger Delta or Abacha whose loot was even "relooted" is also from Niger delta.... mtcheeew
Abacha's loot is being re-looted like you said simply because he died...if he was alive, nothing would have happened!

Dasuki you mentioned is being victimized or paid back for his role in 1983, don't be fooled!

I am not in support of corruption, in fact, I am for total war against corruption but war against corruption shouldn't be selective, it should be holistic....no corrupt past or present politician should be spared! All of them who occupied one political post in Nigeria from 1999 - 2016 should face the same probe without cover.

We can do it...and you will see all Nigerians join effort with government to even uncover their loots, but a selective war against corruption will only breed hate and further pushes our country to civil unrest and militancy.
