According to US authorities, the former minister lavished millions of her illicit wealth on landed properties, furniture and artworks.

The United States is seeking an order in court to forfeit funds and assets worth $144m that the former minister acquired as part of "an international conspiracy to obtain lucrative business opportunities in the Nigerian oil and gas sector."

Diezani looted from the country's treasury, colluding with two associates, Kolawole Aluko and Jide Omokore who helped her to launder "the proceeds of the illicit business opportunities into and through the United States."

On Wednesday, July 19, Justice Chuka Obiozor of a Lagos state Federal High Court ordered the interim forfeiture of the embattled former minister's Banana Island estate property in Lagos.

The property was said to have been bought for $37.5m in 2013 by the former minister.
