EFCC seizes N800m jewellery from Diezani and the wife of Mr Jide Omokore

-

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has recovered jewellery worth over £2 million (N600million) from former Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke and the wife of Mr Jide Omokore, an ally of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
A top EFCC official told Daily Trust that several other property were also recovered from the former oil minister, including a wrist watch valued at £600, 000 (N185 million).
Diezani is facing various graft allegations, including the “missing” $20 billion oil money, among other deals executed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
She was interrogated at the Charing Cross Police Station in London last year when the United Kingdom National Crime Agency arrested her on allegations of bribery and money laundering.
Similarly, jewellery valued at £1.4 million (N407 million) was also recovered from Omokore’s wife after operatives raided her residence in Lagos, the EFCC official said.
Omokore is the chairman of Atlantic Energy Drilling Concepts Nigeria Limited, who was recently questioned by the EFCC in connection with multi-billion dollar petrol import and crude export deals.
His company was allegedly awarded controlling stakes in two oil blocks – OML 30 and 34 – for just over $50 million each, without due process by the Jonathan administration.

And to make the story look more credible, a picture of Niyi proposing to Mimi went viral thus making more people believe there was really something going on between the two. However, in a recent chat with  Saturday Beats , Mimi claimed the picture was a location photo taken while on set. “No, I am not engaged to him, the picture that went viral with him proposing to me happened on set of a movie,  Risk (Ewu) produced by me. He is a senior colleague and a friend. I addressed the controversy the next day when I found out it was all over the news, even Niyi Johnson did but the bloggers who went on saying I was engaged to him didn’t say it happened in a movie. We both debunked the
