Sources
inside the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have disclosed to a
SaharaReporters correspondent that Mr. Alison Amaechina Madueke, the husband to
the embattled former Minister for Petroleum Resources Diezani
Alison-Madueke, was arrested today.
Mr.
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.
