Sources inside the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) have disclosed to a
SaharaReporters correspondent that Mr. Alison
Amaechina Madueke, the husband to the
embattled former Minister for Petroleum
Resources Diezani Alison-Madueke, was arrested
today.
Mr. Madueke was arrested this morning by EFCC
agents in Abuja for illegally laundering more than
$600,000 through his personal accounts.
According to an EFCC source, “[Mr. Madueke]
was arrested this morning [in Abuja] and
released on administrative bail.” The EFCC also
seized Mr. Madueke’s passport and placed him
under caution.
This is the latest development in an ongoing
global investigation into the financial activity of
the former Minister of Petroleum Resources
Diezani Maduke, who was arrested last year in
London for financial crimes. Mrs. Madueke was
at the helm of the petroleum industry in Nigeria
during a time of unprecedented theft, according
