Diezani Alison-Madueke Appeals for Prayers Amid Multi-Million Pound Bribery Charges

Former Minister of Petroleum Resources Diezani Alison-Madueke has contacted Nigerians, requesting their prayers following the bribery and corruption allegations brought against her by the United Kingdom National Crime Agency (NCDiezani Alison-Madueke Appeals for Prayers Amid Multi-Million Pound Bribery ChargesA). Alison-Madueke made the plea to members of the Nigerian community in the UK after a court hearing.

During the court hearing, Benedict Peters, a top lawyer who flew from Nigeria to represent Alison-Madueke, expressed his belief that the case against her was weak and would not hold up. Emeka Ozoani (SAN), another lawyer present at the court, criticized the NCA for spending several years investigating the case and questioned the justification for the use of taxpayers’ money.

In 2015, Alison-Madueke, along with four other individuals, was detained in the UK on suspicion of bribery and money laundering. In August 2023, the NCA stated that they suspected Alison-Madueke of accepting bribes in exchange for awarding multi-million-pound oil and gas contracts. The agency alleged that she had received various luxury benefits, including cash, chauffeur-driven cars, private jet flights, family vacations, and the use of multiple London properties.
