Speaking on the incident, the Madueke family lawyer, Mr. Oscar Onwudiwe said “I really do not know. The EFCC has become something else under this government. They have been empowered and believe the best way to work is to leak stories to the media.”
His lawyer also confirmed his release saying “He honoured an invitation by the EFCC and has left.”
The former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke has also been accused of awarding a Crude Oil swap deal worth $24b approximately over N7.2tr without any contract.
She was arrested in 2015, in relation with corruption allegations being investigated by the UK National Crime Agency.
