The Attorney general of the Federation, Abubakar Malami has said that embattled former petroleum minister, Diezani Allison Madueke will not be permitted to return back to Nigeria to face corruption charges.

The AGF stated that Diezani is currently facing charges of Money laundering in the UK and that it was important for her to face the charges there than to come back as a mere witness to a case here in Nigeria. Madueke had filed a suit to be joined to a corruption case levelled against her associates so that she will be able to testify and defend herself in a Nigerian court.

Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Malami said;

"The truth of the matter is that the government is doing something especially on issues of corruption and litigation in Nigeria and outside the country.

Considering the fact that there is an existing understanding between Nigeria and other countries especially the United Kingdom on the recovery of stolen funds, you cannot say government is not doing anything.

If Nigeria feels strongly that there is need to bring Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke here to face charges of corruption, government will not hesitate to do that.

As things are now, there is no need for that since the UK government is already investigating her and government will not take any decision that will jeopardise what the UK government is doing.

The issue is not about fair hearing now, we are talking about investigation first and it is not within Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke’s power to ask the federal government to bring her to testify in any case in Nigeria."

Some quarters believe that the former petroleum minister is attempting to escape being convicted abroad due to their strict justice system unlike that of Nigeria that has a poor record of incarcerating high profile individuals.

Bros all that talk, bragging and chest beating was not necessary. There are children on nairaland, one must not exchange words with them all the time

erico2k2:

cos she was named in an ongoing case as a facilitator, look I dnt give a rat toss about the woman rather teh way the regime is using her name to cover face is becoming questionable and people are just blindly swallowing the deceit of these criminals in power.if you check till date they teh EFCC has no case brought up against her in court rather the keep seizing money they claim belongs to her which she says she has no clue about.They kept seizing houses.Now if these seized sums belong to her why not charge her to a real court instead courts on the media, if u get me.Let them face the real criminals, the ones whom teh evidence are steering right back at their faces!

budaatum:

She's on bail. Passport confiscated. Can't leave country.

The logic is simple :

If she is not being held by UK, why doesn't she simply hop on a flight back home?

Osaze, leave matter.

If she is not being held, she doesn't need invitation to come back to her country.

erico2k2:

I dont think that was the idea, I feel,she is trying to send a message to them to either charge her/invite her or stop using her name to score cheap political points as they have done with Dansuki so far,if U remember well, someone challenged them to bring Dansuki to court for cross examination so that he will in flesh vomit all those statements the claimed he made the so called people in power refused to bring him to court,waht happened after that? Dansuki never spoke again.
so I believe these guys use suspected people to score cheap points,Look at mama peace, her hotel had been reclaimed by her from EFCC cos they as so dumb and corrupt,they could not file a simple case correctly with leering evidence.Tell me how is it hard to nail mama peace?U see am

The attorney general used the term repatriation which is what she seeks.

Is she being held against her will?

Can't she simply hop on a plane, attend hearing with her lawyer? By so doing, her willingness to face trial would not be in doubt.

Why requiring government's intervention?

So because your brother lives in UK he dey jam Allison for market?

erico2k2:

Guy the wo man nor dey jail , she nor even get any case,I have seen her once times shopping in bond street.She might have dirty fingers but not as painted in the news,But in teh Uk she is as free as bird

GavelSlam:


Even alleged rapists are allowed to move around so being on the streets doesn't mean she doesn't have a case to answer.

erico2k2:

In Legal terms, when you seek for a person to return from abroad it is called reparation, even a dead body is repatriated.Like I said, I dont think she realy wants to come but Im very sure after all this, no one will mention her name for fear she might just hop on a plane and come back.By the way have anyone not wondered how she managed to live in London ligally yet

erico2k2:

chey U call am alleged, and alleged i n the Uk wont be named no matter the pressure!U also are not allowed to call a person guilty until a court of law says otherwise if not nah jail you go enter b4 the accused thats how its done here, if nah here all those EFCC for don go jail as we speak
