EFCC boss, Magu, insists on Diezani’s extradition for $2.5bn theft

Insisting on the extradition of former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Diezani K. Alison-Madueke, the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, stated that Diezani had stolen a sum of $2.5 billion. He also revealed that she has a generation of looters supporting her actions, which is detrimental to the country.

Speaking at a press conference in Kaduna on Monday, February 17, TheCable cited Magu as saying: “I was in London this year, we did an investigation together with the UK team, and anywhere I go I always call for extradition of corrupt Nigerians to return the money.”

“This woman has stolen so much, not less than 2.5 billion dollars, but unfortunately she has a generation of looters who are supporting her. This is not good.”

“We are in touch with the international community, she is under protective custody, otherwise, we would have arrested her, return her to Nigeria. We will not allow corruption to work here in Nigeria because it is destructive and disastrous. We blocked several accounts.”
