Below are the details of Madam Diezani’s arrest:
According the Premium Times, the immediate past Minister of Petroleum Resources was on Friday arrested in London, alongside four other people by the British law enforcement agency.
The identities of the four other people arrested along with her could be immediately ascertained.
She was arrested for offences related to bribery and corruption being investigated by the UK National Crime Agency.
Two top British officials in London have however confirmed the development. They requested not to be named because they have no permission to speak on the issue.
The British High Commission in Nigeria confirmed that some arrests were made Friday.
Joseph Abuku, Press and Public Affairs Officer, said, “This morning, five people between the ages of 21 and 60 were arrested on suspicion of bribery and corruption offences. The crimes are being investigated by the National Crime Agency (in London).”
You may wish to know that NNPC under her watch was involved in several shady deals, many of which are said to run into Billions of Dollars and Trillions of Naira.
She escaped from Nigeria since President Buhari was sworn in and refused to return home, ‘out of fear’.
