According to an EFCC source, “[Mr. Madueke] was arrested this morning
[in Abuja] and released on administrative bail.” The EFCC also seized
Mr. Madueke’s passport and placed him under caution.
This is the latest development in an ongoing global investigation
into the financial activity of the former Minister of Petroleum
Resources Diezani Maduke, who was arrested last year in London for
financial crimes. Mrs. Madueke was at the helm of the petroleum industry
in Nigeria during a time of unprecedented theft, according to analysts.
