EFCC Interrogates Diezani’s husband

The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday grilled Rear
Admiral Amaechina Alison-Madueke, husband of the
embattled former Minister of Petroleum Resources,
Diezani Alison-Madueke.
The former naval chief was picked up from his Abuja
residence for questioning.
Madueke was questioned for several hours by EFCC
operatives at the Abuja head office of the anti-graft
agency.
The interrogation of Madueke followed the discovery
of about $600 000 in his personal accounts.
Madueke made written statements to EFCC
interrogators and was allowed to go home.
He was also asked to return to the EFCC at a later
date to answer more questions.
The anti-graft agency, however, seized his travel
passport to restrict his movement to Nigeria, pending
the conclusion of its investigation.
Diezani, who is a cancer patient in London, has been
under intense probe by the present administration
over alleged high-scale illegal financial transactions
and money transfers in office.
She is also facing court trial in the United Kingdom
for a similar offence.
