According to a Sahara Reporters report, the former Minister is believed to have laundered funds in the United Kingdom using her co-workers, businessmen and relatives, including Agama who allegedly fronted for her to purchase an apartment in Westminster, central London.
It is believed that Alison-Madueke was arrested alongside two other persons who have yet to be identified.
