Ex-Minister's alleged plot to flee UK unveiled

It was further gathered that investigators in UK and Nigeria had got wind of Diezani’s plot to flee the country and start a new life as a citizen of the small Caribbean country of only 72,000 people.

 

Allegations are rife that embattled ex-Minister of Petroleum Resources in Nigeria, Diezani Alison-Madueke, has concluded plans to flee UK.

In a report by The Nation Newspaper, Diezani allegedly got herself a citizenship passport of the Commonwealth of Dominica.

The ex-Minister, who is currently under investigation in Britain for alleged corruption while in office, was given away by some anti-corruption and civil society groups in the UK.

The report further revealed that Diezani, who is also battling cancer, had her citizenship confirmed in a May 29, 2015 with an approval letter by the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica, Roosevelt Skerrit.
