EFCC Welcomes Diezani’s Arraignment in London Court

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has expressed its satisfaction with the arraignment of former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, in a London court on alleged bribery charges.

In a press statement released on October 2, 2023, via the EFCC Nigeria’s official Twitter handle (@officialEFCC) and signed by Dele Oyewale, Ag. Head, Media & Publicity, the EFCC commended this significant development.

While the charges brought against Diezani Alison-Madueke in the London court differ from the 13-count money laundering charges filed against her by the EFCC, it is emphasized that criminality knows no jurisdictional boundaries. Crime remains a punishable offense regardless of where it occurs. The money laundering charges filed by the EFCC against Ms. Madueke span multiple jurisdictions, including Dubai, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and Nigeria.
