The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) expresses satisfaction regarding the arraignment of Diezani Alison-Madueke, a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, at the Westminster Court in London, United Kingdom, over alleged bribery allegations.
Even though the charges she faces in the London court differ from the 13-count charges related to money laundering that the EFCC has raised against her, it’s important to emphasize that criminal behavior remains criminal, regardless of jurisdictional boundaries.
No criminal act should go unpunished. The money laundering charges against Madueke, for which she is accountable to the EFCC, encompass multiple jurisdictions including Dubai, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and Nigeria.
In our pursuit of bringing the former Minister to trial within Nigeria, we have secured an arrest warrant and initiated extradition proceedings. The Commission is steadfast in pursuing her trial, and she will soon be brought before our courts to face justice.”
