The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has seized a
mansion worth N3.58bn ($18m at the official exchange rate of N199 to a dollar)
in the Asokoro area of Abuja allegedly belonging to the former Minister of
Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
Speaking during an interview with Al-Jazeera, the acting
Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu noted
that the items in the house
included jewellery, furniture and a bulletproof gym worth about $2m.
He stated that the house was part of the $10bn in cash and
assets that had been seized by the Federal Government in the last one year.
“We have been able to take on a lot of big shots that were
hitherto untouchable in the three arms of the military, political class. We
have recorded 164 convictions in just one year,” he said.
