Towards the end of former President Goodluck Jonathan ’ s administration , former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Diezani Alison -Madueke , was appointed Commissioner for Trade and Investment by Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit of the Commonwealth of Dominica and was handed a diplomatic passport .
This , perhaps , is why Diezani has been able to evade prosecution despite being in London for over four years .
According to Qatar- based network , Al Jazeera , the former minister may have purchased a $ 2 . 2 m choice property near the United Nations in upscale Manhattan , New York , for the Dominican Prime Minister in order to obtain the passport .
In a documentary titled, ‘ Diplomats for sale ’ , Al Jazeera reveals how politically exposed persons , including leaders of international drug cartels, purchase diplomatic passports from Caribbean countries for a fee which ranges between $ 250 , 000 and $ 2 m depending on the personality involved .
The bribe is usually paid to the leader of that country who then appoints the buyer as an ambassador or a diplomat. The buyer is subsequently issued with a diplomatic passport which gives him or her immunity from prosecution based on the Vienna Convention of 1961 .
According to the news agency , shortly before Diezani left office , there were already reports that she had allegedly stolen billions of dollars .
Worried that the incoming President Muhammadu Buhari ’ s administration might probe her , the former minister allegedly fled to London and obtained a diplomatic passport from the Prime Minister of Dominican Republic himself .
The report stated , “ In London , she ( Diezani ) is personally handed a Dominican diplomatic passport by Prime Minister Skerrit ; a passport which could shield her from criminal charges . We found documents showing a few days later that a shell company is formed in Delaware , an American state where laws mean the true owners of a company are kept secret .
“ Four months later , that shell company buys a New York apartment for $ 2 . 2 m with no mortgage . Property records confirm that the prime minister ’ s wife , Melissa, was a resident . Photos placed the Skerrit family there. Both Diezani and Skerrit deny any links to the company that bought the apartment .
“ Skerrit said the family resided there due to a kind gesture by an unnamed friend of his wife . He strongly denies any wrongdoing and says he didn ’ t demand or receive any money from Madueke . ”
The 53 - minute documentary also shows how countries like St . Lucia , Antigua and Grenada all in the Caribbean carry out such “ diplomatic passport for cash ” scam.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had in March lamented the slow pace at which the United Kingdom was handling Diezani ’ s case .

But I thought women weren't corrupt.

Where are all those women talking nonsense about how the world would be better if everything was managed by women?

Is NTA no longer the trusted mouthpiece of APC?

Citizenship in all those Caribbean island countries is not a matter of birth or naturalisation. It is a matter of cash. Dominica, St Kitts, Antigua, just pay the cash and bang, you have a passport on your hands.

In St. Kitts, all you have to do is pay or 'invest' something in the region of $250k and you are as good as being a citizen. Matter of fact the two Russian brothers behind Telegram bought St Kitt's citizenship that way. They simply invested a couple of millions each into St Kitt's sugar industry and that was it. Got their passports.

But this diplomatic passport for 'change' sh!t is getting messier. And I have heard a whole lot about that Skerrit guy. Not so savoury, I must say. Dude's gangster.

EFCC is just trying to give silly excuses and reasons for it's ineptitude. Allison has conspirators. Jide and Aluko. They've had cases here in Nigeria that has gone no where in the courts. Do those ones have diplomatic passports too? Her family must have benefited from the vile and desperate pilfering of the public purse she engaged in. Bank records will easily show that. Has EFCC gone after them? Yet when it comes to ordinary Yahoo boys we see EFCC showing strength.

Allison will not be touched. In exchange for peace in the Niger Delta, the present APC government is looking over a lot of misdeeds in the previous administration.

invigilator:
This lady diezanied with the Federations money, even if EFCC caught up with her, she will still pay bail fes and still be roaming the streets of Nigeria with expensive vehicles and government paid escorts

Ask Mompha
Ask Naira Marley
Ask Bankole
