The acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, says the former Finance Minister Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala, former Minister of Petroleum Resources Diezani
Alison-Madueke and her associate Kola Aluko, are all on the
investigating radar of the commission.
Magu said this while appearing before the House of Representatives
Committee on Financial Crimes to defend the agency's 2016 budget. He
told the committee that the agency will soon move into the petroleum
sector.
A member of the committee, Rasaq Atunwa, while speaking to newsmen after Magu's presentation, said
"I said the EFCC has recovered a lot of money for Nigeria and he (Magu)
mentioned that in that regard, more sectors of the economy are likely to
come under investigative activities. I said ‘will it include the
petroleum sector’? He said, ‘yes’. And I said ‘would it include
investigating the following people – Diezani Alison-Madueke,
Okonjo-Iweala and a particular oil magnate’, and he said ‘yes’; those
people are already under their investigative radar.”he said
Alison-Madueke, was last year arrested by the National Crime Agency in the UK over allegations of money laundering and fraud.
