Sources inside anti graft agency have confirmed that Mr. Alison
Amaechina Madueke, the husband to the embattled former Minister for
Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, has been arrested.
Mr. Madueke was arrested today, Wednesday February 17, by EFCC agents
in Abuja for illegally laundering more than $600,000 through his
personal accounts.
But to make sure he doesn’t “fall sick and travel out as they usually
do”, the EFCC has seized Mr. Madueke’s passport and placed him under
surveillance.
According to SR, this is the latest development in an ongoing global
investigation into the financial activity of his wife, 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 during a time
of unprecedented stealing, under the watch of Goodluck Jonathan. This
money laundering case is developing.
