Diezani moves out of her London mansion, now leaving in a rented flat
Embattled ex-minister of petroleum resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke has moved out of her £11 million UK property worth, she now lives in a rented flat in the same London building housing the $2.8 million property allegedly bought for her by Jide Omokore and Kola Aluko, her business associates TheCable reports.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has frozen accounts linked to the former minister, including those belonging to family members and known associates. This makes it virtually impossible for her to access money from any source and she is now living off the goodwill of those who still remember her.
Nigerian courts have already forced Alison-Madueke to forfeit her property at Banana Island, Lagos. It reportedly has 24 apartments, 18 flats and six penthouses valued at $37.5 million.
She was also recently forced to forfeit about N7.6 billion “hidden” in a Nigerian bank, in addition to the temporary forfeiture of property worth $21,392,224 across Nigeria.
TheCable’s REMI SULOLA went round London, UK, to take pictures of the property listed against her name by the US justice department in the asset forfeiture case.
Alison-Madueke is expected to report to the Charring Cross Police Station close to Trafalgar Square on September 20 as part of the conditions of her bail after her arrest by the British National Crime Agency in 2015.
Naija News had reported on Monday that the leader of the #OurMumuDonDo movement Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, and his protesters marched to the Head Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in Abuja to demand the deportation of a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Allison-Madueke from the United Kingdom.
