A Federal High Court in Abuja yesterday, January 24, 2022 issued an arrest warrant against a former Minister of Petroleum Resources Diezani Alison-Madueke.
Justice Bolaji Olajuwon gave the order following an application by Farouk Abdullah, counsel to the EFCC.
Mrs. Alison-Madueke is the subject of several corruption and money-laundering investigation by the EFCC and has featured in a couple of charges filed in court by the Commission, which had stalled owing to her absence.
Abdullah told the court that efforts by the EFCC to get the ex-Minister extradited have been futile. Diezani is reportedly residing in UK in her hideout.
