Lets recall that the former Minister of Petroleum Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke was arrested last Friday, October 2 in London by the British National Crime Agency (NCA) alongside four other people, but was granted bail after over five hours of questioning.
The interrogation of former Minister of Petroleum Resources,
Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, on allegations of bribery, corruption and money
laundering, gathered steam yesterday Monday, October 5, at the Charing Cross Police
Station following her arrest last week.
To this end, the Minister's husband, a former
Chief of Naval Staff, Rear-Admiral Alison Madueke (rtd), has gathered a legal
team to defend his wife against the charges by the United Kingdom authorities. Since the ex minister's arrest, it was gathered that her
husband has swung into action by putting together a professional legal team to
defend his wife in the UK.
One of the lawyers, Mr. Chike C. Amobi, a US-trained
attorney, was said to have departed Lagos on Saturday night for London to join
a Queen’s Counsel, who accompanied the minister to the Charing Cross Police
Station to respond to questions from NCA on the allegations of bribery,
corruption and money laundering against her. Amobi is expected back in Lagos
today.
