BRITISH POLICE: WE DON’T KNOW HOW TO PURSUE THE ALLEGED MONEY LUNDERING OFENCE AAINST DIEZANI ALISON- MADUEKE

There are strong indications that the British Police authorities are in quandary
over how to pursue the alleged money laundering offence against former
Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, as the investigators
have failed to establish any wrongdoing by the former minister. Diezani
Alison-Madueke had on Thursday January 21 appeared before an investigative
hearing at the Charing Cross Police Station in London as part of the
investigation into an alleged money laundering offence. However, she was
again granted bail by the British Police authorities on the same condition
given earlier and her case was adjourned to June 21, 2016. It was gathered
that the long adjournment was not unconnected to the fact that the British
Police has not been able to establish any strong evidence linking her with the
alleged money laundering. The immediate past Nigerian Petroleum minister
had last year in an interview with publisher of Ovation magazine, Dele
Momodu, vehemently denied being part of any fraud and corruption during her
tenure as the Minister of Petroleum Resources under former president
Goodluck Jonathan, adding that she was only being hunted by her
adversaries.
