Plans To Extradite Diezani Alison-Madueke From UK Underway – EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed plans to extradite the former Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke to Nigeria.

The move to extradite the former minister who has been accused of corruption may not be unconnected to the recent calls from concerned Nigerians and Civic groups.

The EFCC acting chairman, Ibrahim Magu, who confirmed the moves said that investigations are still ongoing.

Speaking with newsmen, Magu said, “I want you to know that nobody will go unpunished. We are even seeking to extradite Diezani, but investigations are still ongoing,” Mr. Magu said.

“We have reached a level where nobody can stop us in the fight against corruption, but we all must realise that we are all stakeholders, and this fight is for the future generation.”

He added that all Nigerians must play their roles, “because EFCC can only do its best; but we must support the agency, and the law should take its course, policies should be strengthened, and punishment must be meted out in good time.

“Every evil that is happening now is caused by corruption: agitations, strikes, whatever. Corruption has chased our good human resources out of the country. It is the duty of this generation to correct the evils caused by corruption.”
