A columnist with the Sun of London, Kelvin Mackenzie, has alleged that Nigeria’s former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Deziani Alison-Madueke, stole £13 billion from the coffers of the country.
Mackenzie said in his column published on Sunday that this was the reason why the former oil minister was arrested in London by the United Kingdom National Crime Agency.
“MS DIEZANI Alison-Madueke, Nigeria’s former oil minister, has just been nicked in London over allegations that £13billion (yes, £13billion) has gone walkabout from her country’s coffers,” Mackenzie wrote in his column.
Mackenzie said that Alison-Madueke was going to use the money to buy a house in Hyde Park in London.
“Apparently she was looking at buying a massively expensive apartment at One Hyde Park. With £13bn I’m surprised she didn’t buy the whole of Hyde Park.
“One thing’s for sure, she can’t be the woman from Nigeria who keeps sending me those emails seeking an advancement on her cousin’s will,” he wrote.
