On Monday, former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, appeared before the Westminster Magistrates’ Court in the United Kingdom in connection with an alleged £100,000 bribe.
District Judge Michael Snow granted Alison-Madueke a £70,000 bail and imposed certain conditions, including an 11 pm to 6 am curfew, mandatory wearing of an electronic tag, and payment of a £70,000 surety before leaving the court building. While she did not formally enter a plea, her attorney, Mark Bowen, indicated that she would plead not guilty.
Her next court appearance is scheduled for October 30 at Southwark Crown Court, which handles serious criminal cases.
In August, the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) announced suspicions that Alison-Madueke had accepted bribes in exchange for awarding multi-million-pound oil and gas contracts. The NCA alleged that she had received benefits such as cash, chauffeur-driven cars, private jet flights, luxury family holidays, and the use of multiple London properties. These charges also encompassed financial rewards, including furniture, renovation work, private school fees, and gifts from high-end designer shops.
In March 2023, the NCA provided evidence to the US Department of Justice, leading to the recovery of assets totaling $53.1 million linked to Diezani’s alleged corruption.
Diezani served as the Minister of Petroleum Resources from 2010 to 2015 during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan. She left Nigeria for the UK shortly before President Jonathan’s handover to President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has accused the former minister of embezzling $2.5 billion from the Nigerian government during her tenure. Although the EFCC has attempted to arraign her, she has not returned to Nigeria since 2015. However, the agency announced on Monday that it had initiated an extradition process to bring Diezani back to Nigeria to face trial. The EFCC emphasized that the charges against her in the London court, while different from the ones in Nigeria, signify that criminal activities will not go unpunished, regardless of jurisdictional differences.
