According to Vanguard, Dieziani carefully planned and obtained the citizenship of the Commonwealth of Dominican Republic, which subsequently appointed her as a Trade and Investment Commissioner in that country.

Diezani’s offer and acceptance were completed a few days before she left office on June 1, 2015, barely two days before the expiration of her tenure on May 29, 2015.

The lobby actually worked. In a letter dated May 29, 2015 and signed by Prime Minister Roosevelt Kerry, Diezani was offered not only the citizenship of Dominica, a Caribbean island but also an appointment as Trade and Investment Commissioner.

However, Former Petroleum Minister, Mrs. Diezani Allison Madueke is reportedly evading extradition to Nigeria as she is now a citizen of Dominican Republic, thereby securing immunity from prosecution.

Diezani who is wanted by the EFCC in connection with an alleged N23.29billion poll bribery scam is wanted to account for N47.2 billion; $487.5million; N23,446,300,000 and $5milion (about N1.5billion) in various Nigerian banks.
