Nigeria orders final seizure of assets of ex-oil minister

Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says a federal high court has ordered the final seizure of properties owned by former petroleum resources minister Diezani Alison-Madueke.

This is the latest court ruling related to corruption allegations against her – charges she denies.

Ms Alison-Madueke served as Nigeria’s petroleum minister between 2010 and 2015, and was a key figure in the administration of the former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Her whereabouts are unclear, but she was last known to be in Britain.
