The
trial of the former Minister of Petroleum Resources Mrs. Diezani
Alison-Madueke, and four others in London for alleged corrupt practices is now
set.
According
to The Nationonlineng reports, the trial has been fixed for June and more evidence was
hauled to the U.K at the weekend. Part of the evidence is the proceedings of a
Federal High Court in respect of the order of final forfeiture of $153million
allegedly traced to the ex-minister.
It
was also learnt that one of the suspects had been found at a hideout in London
and placed under surveillance.
The
National Crime Agency (NCA) on October 2, 2015 arrested Mrs. Alison-Madueke and
four others for alleged bribery and corruption and money laundering.
The
former minister, whose movement has been restricted to the UK, remains under
investigation. The NCA found some of the ex-minister’s brothers and other
business partners complicit in the money laundering allegation.

Abiye Agama and Somye Agama are Mrs Alison-Madueke siblings who operate some
UK-based businesses hurriedly shut them after the NCA and the EFCC searchlight
