UK frustrating Diezani’s graft trial —EFCC vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, yesterday, raised the alarm that the British government was frustrating trial of former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Allison-Madueke, for alleged graft.
But the EFCC in a strongly-worded statement described the claim by the British agency as illogical and untenable, given the fact that the British government had been working closely with the anti-graft agency and had, on several occasions, given it accolades for excellent work done.
The agency openly accused Britain of frustrating its effort to repatriate and try Diezani, having been unduly accommodated and protected by London under the guise of investigating her in the last four years without any idea as to when the probe would end.
“Today, the average Nigerian can easily reel out names of ranking former officials of government and their counterparts from the private sector who have been successfully investigated and prosecuted by the commission, with staggering amounts of money and fixed assets also recovered from them.
