Ex minister’s son allegedly involved in $115m scam

-

Ugonna Madueke, the son of the former Minister of petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke, has been implicated in an ongoing investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

According to the EFCC source, “The MD said it was Diezani’s son that sent him a list of beneficiaries which included several INEC officials and election monitors across the 36 states. Diezani specifically instructed that the funds be disbursed at least a day or two before the elections. The total amount of money was $115m and Diezani told the bank to convert the funds into naira, which was about N23.3bn at the time.
“However, the suspects told us that the volume of money was too big and they had problems converting the funds. So, Diezani told the bank MD to use the bank’s funds and hold on to the dollars as collateral and that after elections, the bank could use the dollars to replace the bank funds.”
Okonkwo might be for conspiracy by the EFCC.

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
