More Troubles! EFCC Takes Over Diezani’s Abuja Mansion After London Arrest

Operatives of Nigeria’s anti-graft agency, the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have raided the Abuja home of former
Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, few hours after she
was arrested in London.

EFCC agents arrived Mrs. Alison-Madueke’s palatial home in Asokoro,
Abuja, and sealed the property Friday evening.

A resident, who witnessed the raid, said, “I just left the
place. More and more of them (EFCC operatives) are arriving. Two Buses. Three
hilux trucks and about five saloon cars. They are breaking something inside.
May be doors.

“You can hear the noise. There are two uniformed operatives
outside and two at the backyard. I saw also a man brought in in a black Toyota
Corolla with a video camera and immediately started video recording from
outside the gate and then went into the compound. I observed those operation
for about three hours before I left.”
