Diezani Madueke's Husband In EFCC Net Over $600,000 Fraud

The husband of Nigeria’s former petroleum minister, Mr Amaechina Alinson Madueke has allegedly been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Wednesday. Sahara Reporters reports that, insider sources within EFCC disclosed that Mr Madueke was arrested for alleged money laundering.

Mr Madueke was said to be arrested by the anti-graft agency on Wednesday morning in Abuja for illegally laundering to the tune of $600,000 through his personal accounts.

One EFCC source revealed that Mr Madueke was granted administrative bail. The EFCC however
seized his passport and placed him under caution.

This is the new measure in an ongoing global investigation into the financial activity of Diezani Maduke, who was arrested last year in London for financial crimes.

 Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke who is reportedly battling cancer in London, United Kingdom, headed the petroleum industry in Nigeria at a time oil prices steadied at above $100 but barely reflected in the nation’s fortunes.
