EFCC Begins Process Of Extraditing Allison-Madueke

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, ( EFCC), has declared it readiness  to perfect the process of securing the return of former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, to the country to face graft charges preferred against her.

The acting Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, made the disclosure during an official visit to the Ibadan Zonal Office of the commission.

Magu, said that the agency had reviewed its operational strategy, and would engage foreign partners to ensure that the former minister returned to the country soon.

The anti-graft agency chairman expressed disappointment over the slow pace of investigation by foreign partners on the trial of former minister.

 Magu stressed that she should have been released to face charges being preferred against her at home in view of the overwhelming evidences against her in Nigeria.

He said, “I thank the media for being partners by collaborating with us in doing what we are doing. This year, we are going to upgrade our strategy. Rerun elections and all outstanding elections are to be concluded; we are part of it and we are going to fight vote-buying.

“Everybody is on our radar, so I want you to join us on that day so that we can expose the vote buyers and collect their money.

“And, if you are going there, make sure you don’t carry more than N25,000, otherwise, they will arrest you. So, we are going on with the fight against vote-buying during next Saturday’s elections in the affected states.

“We are collaborating with the Nigerians in diaspora; we are collecting a whole lot of information. We also want to collaborate with Nigerians locally so that they will give us more information to exposed the looters so that they can return the loot. The whistleblower policy is still active, just that it is being slowed down because you have to go to court and exhaust all the processes.”

The commission also disclosed that it would initiate a ’10 million man match’ against corruption and corrupt individuals in Nigeria on February 14.

 “By February 14, we shall embark on a 10million match against corruption and corrupt people.”
