The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Monday, issued a warrant for the arrest of former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, in the United Kingdom. The EFCC lawyer told the court that all efforts by the agency to get the former Minister extradited back to the country proved abortive. EFCC had told the court that investigations revealed that the former Petroleum Minister was not only deeply involved in money laundering, but equally played key roles in other financial crimes. More so, the Commission told the court that it would also require Diezani to explain her role in financing the 2015 general elections.
