The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has obtained an arrest warrant for the former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke. This news was confirmed by the acting spokesperson for the EFCC, Dele Oyewale.
Furthermore, the EFCC has initiated extradition proceedings to bring Diezani Alison-Madueke back to Nigeria. This comes after her recent arraignment at Westminster’s Court in London, United Kingdom, on alleged bribery charges. Although the charges in the London court differ from the 13-count money laundering charges she faces in Nigeria, the EFCC is determined to hold her accountable for her actions.

The EFCC emphasizes that criminality knows no jurisdictional boundaries, and no crime should go unpunished. The money laundering charges against Alison-Madueke extend across multiple jurisdictions, including Dubai, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and Nigeria.
To ensure her trial in Nigeria, the EFCC has secured an arrest warrant and initiated extradition proceedings. This move underscores the commission’s commitment to bringing the former minister to justice on Nigerian soil. Diezani Alison-Madueke will soon face legal proceedings in Nigerian courts.
