Former Attorney General of Nigeria and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke, has been released by the police in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and is on his way to Nigeria, DailyLeakers report.

Adoke was arrested on arrival in Dubai by the Interpol on November 11. He was in the country for his medicals.


The former AGF was arrested following a warrant of arrest issued against him which was eventually quashed.

Following an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory issued the warrant on April 17, 2019 but vacated the order on October 25, 2019.

It was learnt that while Interpol got the arrest warrant, Nigerian authorities did not transmit the order vacating the warrant.

Adoke’s successor, Abubakar Malami, allegedly refused to confirm that the warrant had been vacated after Adoke’s lawyers sought his confirmation for Adoke to be freed.

Adoke was then made to sign a document which DailyLeakers.Com obtained saying he would return to Nigeria on his own accord without pressure from Dubai police.

The former AGF is expected to arrive in Nigeria Thursday afternoon.

EFCC alleges that Adoke was culpable in the controversial deal involving the payment of $1.1 billion by Shell and Agip-Eni to purchase Nigeria’s OPL 245, a lucrative oil field.

The anti-graft agency says a former petroleum minister during Sani Abacha regime, Dan Etete, who was convicted for money laundering in France in 2007, received a large chunk of the payment.

Adoke said in his book, Burden of Service: Reminiscences of Nigeria’s Former Attorney-General, that he did no wrong and is being witch-hunted.



Adoke left the country after former President Goodluck Jonathan handed over in 2015.

He travelled to the Netherlands for a graduate study in international criminal law.
