ANTI GRAFT AGENCY CONFIRMS MOVES TO EXTRADITE NIGERIA'S ALLEGED BIG THIEF

By

The anti-graft agency, EFCC, on Wednesday confirmed that plans were in place to extradite a former petroleum minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
Several Nigerians have called for her extradition from the UK, after different corruption allegations were levelled against her.

Properties worth billions of Naira linked to her have since been forfeited to the federal government, many permanently.
Speaking on Wednesday while addressing journalists, civic groups and others, the EFCC acting chairman, Ibrahim Magu, confirmed the moves to extradite Mrs. Alison-Madueke.

"I want you to know that nobody will go unpunished. We are even seeking to extradite Diezani, but investigations are still ongoing," Mr. Magu said.

"We have reached a level where nobody can stop us in the fight against corruption, but we all must realise that we are all stakeholders, and this fight is for the future generation."

He added that all Nigerians must play their roles, "because EFCC can only do its best; but we must support the agency, and the law should take its course, policies should be strengthened, and punishment must be meted out in good time."

Mr. Magu also blamed recent separatist agitations in Nigeria on corruption.
"Every evil that is happening now is caused by corruption: agitations, strikes, whatever. Corruption has chased our good human resources out of the country. It is the duty of this generation to correct the evils caused by corruption."

The anti-graft chief also spoke on corruption among members of his organisation.

"I want you to tell us if there is corruption in the EFCC," he said. "It makes no sense if people are fighting corruption and they are corrupt. So, tell us, don't keep quiet."

Buhari May Return To The UK For Further Treatment In Three Weeks March 10th, 2017 In a clear indication that President Muhammadu Buhari’s return earlier today from London was premature and motivated by political pressure from some of his closest associates, Presidency and medical sources have told Saharareporters that the ailing Nigerian leader is set to return to the United Kingdom in three weeks to continue treatment for an undisclosed illness. Saharareporters had consistently disclosed that members of Mr. Buhari’s medical team in the UK had advised against his return to Nigeria at this time, adding that some members of his political circle, afraid that their influence was about to slip, pressured the frail and still ill president to return to Nigeria in order to quell anxiety that he was too gravely ill to continue in office. Early this morning, a presidential jet carrying Mr. Buhari landed at the Kaduna Airport in the capital of Kaduna State. The terribly emaciated and f...
