The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, has insisted that former Minister of Petroleum
Resources, Mrs Diezani K. Alison-Madueke must be extradited.
Magu said Diezani stole a sum of $2.5 billion. He added that
she has a generation of looters supporting her actions which is very bad for
the country.
Speaking at a press conference in Kaduna on Monday, February
17, TheCable cited Magu as saying: "I was in London this year, we did
investigation together with the UK team, and anywhere I go I always call for
extradition of corrupt Nigerians to return back the money.
"This woman has stolen so much, not less than 2.5
billion dollars, but unfortunately she has generation of looters who are
supporting her. This is not good.
"We are in touch with the international community, she
is under protective custody, otherwise, we would have arrested her, return her
to Nigeria. We will not allow corruption to work here in Nigeria because it is
destructive and disastrous. We blocked several accounts."
