EFCC arrest Alison Madueke.
Mr. Alison Madueke was arrested this morning by EFCC agents in Abuja for illegally laundering more than $600,000 through his personal accounts.
According to an EFCC source, “[Mr. Madueke] was arrested this morning [in
Abuja] and released on administrative bail.” The EFCC also seized Mr. Madueke’s passport and placed him under caution.
This is the latest development in an ongoing global investigation into the financial activity of 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 in Nigeria during a time of unprecedented theft, according to analysts.
