The husband of Nigeria’s former petroleum minister, Mr
Amaechina Alinson Madueke has allegedly been arrested by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Wednesday. Sahara Reporters reports
that, insider sources within EFCC disclosed that Mr Madueke was arrested for alleged
money laundering. Mr Madueke was said to be arrested by the anti-graft agency
on
Wednesday morning in Abuja for illegally laundering to the tune of $600,000
through his personal accounts. One EFCC source revealed that Mr Madueke was
granted administrative bail. The EFCC however seized his passport and placed
him under caution. This is the new measure in an ongoing global investigation
into the financial activity of Diezani Maduke, who was arrested last year in
London for financial crimes. Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke who is reportedly
battling cancer in London, United Kingdom, headed the petroleum industry in
Nigeria at a time oil prices steadied at above $100 but barely reflected in the
nation’s fortunes.
