Mr. Madueke was arrested
yesterday by EFCC agents in Abuja for
illegally laundering more than $600,000 through his personal accounts.
According to an EFCC source, “[Mr. Madueke] was arrested
yesterday, in the morning [in Abuja] and
released on administrative bail.” The EFCC also seized Mr. Madueke’s passport
and placed him under caution.
This is the latest development in an ongoing global
investigation into the financial activity of the former Minister of Petroleum
Resources Diezani Maduke, who was arrested last year in London for financial
crimes. Mrs. Madueke was at the helm of the petroleum industry in Nigeria
during a time of unprecedented theft, according to analysts.
