NewzThe Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has formally opposed an application filed by former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, in an Abuja court. Alison-Madueke sought to present evidence of a judgment from the Southwark Crown Court in London, United Kingdom, which acquitted her.
According to the EFCC's further counter-affidavit, the anti-graft agency maintains that the UK court judgment is entirely irrelevant to the specific case initiated by Alison-Madueke. The ongoing legal proceedings in Abuja involve the former minister's efforts to secure the recovery of her assets that were previously auctioned off by the government.
