A
Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the arrest of a former Minister of
Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, over a pending corruption charge
filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against her.
Justice
Bolaji Olajuwon issued the arrest warrant after listening to EFCC’s lawyer,
Farouk Abdullah, who made an oral application to that effect.
Meanwhile,
this is the second time a court in Abuja ordered the ex-minister’s arrest since
she left office in 2015 and allegedly fled to the United Kingdom (UK).
