It has been gathered that a special team of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives, planned and executed a raid on the Abuja home of former minister of petroleum, Diezani Alison-Maduekwe in Asokoro, Abuja, and were able to recover cash running into millions of Naira from the place.
However, a source privy to information about the operation told Vanguard only N1.2 million was recovered.
The security agents, who stormed the home, on Frederick Chiluba Street, Asokoro, went to the house with 6 ready vehicles and reportedly gained access to the expansive mansion with the aid of some former security aides of the ex-minister.
The team allegedly gained access to the well fortified house using one of the windows. Reports said Diezani had not been sighted near the posh residence since she vacated her office in May but had been staying in the United Kingdom, where she reportedly sought medical attention over an undisclosed ailment.
In an updated information on its website, yesterday, the NCA disclosed that investigation of Diezani and her cohorts was initiated in 2013 by the Proceeds of Corruption Unit, which transferred the matter to it early this year.
The agency said that the suspects were merely granted what it called “conditional police bail” pending further investigation to be conducted in the UK and overseas.
Investigations revealed that the EFCC, which has a working alliance with UK anti-corruption agencies, pounced on Diezani’s Abuja home and carted away with vital documents, which it hopes will be useful in prosecuting the former minister when her trial enters full swing in London.
