The Ibrahim Magu’s led Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Acting Chairman, has decried the UK’s refusal to hand over former Petroleum Resources Minister Diezani Allison-Madueke to face trial in Nigeria for alleged money laundering.

Magu revealed this on Monday, January 20, 2020, while receiving the “Institution of the Decade” award on behalf of the Efcc at the awards ceremony organised by Thisday Newspaper to mark its 25th anniversary at the Eko Hotels and Suits, Victoria Island, Lagos.

He said the Commission had sufficient evidence to prosecute Allison-Madueke for the alleged financial malfeasance she committed while in office.

The diverted funds, traced back to Allison-Madueke and others, he said, could be used when recovered to keep the wheel of the nation’s economy going.
