All the money, houses, properties recovered from Diezani

Yesterday court orders permanent forfeiture of N7.6 billion linked to Diezani

According to CNN reports, Nigeria’s former minster of petroleum Dizenai Allison-Madueke has refunded some monies purportedly embezzled during President Goodluck Jonathan’s tenure- to the tune of N90 billion.

That figure will give even Africa richest man Aliko Dangote a run for his money (no pun intended), and it excludes all the property recovered from her.

So far the under-listed monies, houses, properties have been recovered from Diezani:

Only yesterday,‎ a federal high court ordered the  permanent forfeiture of N7.6 billion linked to her.

In January 2017, the same court seized a certain $153.3 million from her coffers.

On August 9, the sum of seven billion naira was ordered to be forfeited for her account at Sterling Bank.

It was said to be laundered monies by allegedly collaborators of hers: Gbenga Komolafe- former GMD at NNPC;  Haruna Momoh, former GMD at Petroleum Products Management Company and  Umar Farouk Ahmed,GMD of Nigerian Products Marketing Company.

Yet another judge ordered an interim forfeiture of 56 houses linked to the former minister valued at N3.3 billion as well as the permanent forfeiture of a $37.5 million property on Banana Island allegedly belonging to Mrs. Alison-Madueke.

Nigerians continue to marvel at these figures being thrown about. They compare it to their own realities of insurgency, poverty and loss of jobs.

Although she continues to maintain her innocence, the Buhari administration  points to all these forfeitures as proof of their fight against corruption.
