Former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, who is now in the United Kingdom, has acknowledged that she embezzled money from Nigeria.
Confessing her deeds during a recent press briefing in London, Madueke alleged that she had entrusted nine billion Dollars to the incumbent Governor of Zamfara State.
You will recall that Madueke served as petroleum minister under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Diezani, who is reportedly battling cancer, is now appealing to the Nigerian government, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to allow her to return to the country and confess to her financial wrongdoing during her time in office.
According to SaharaReporters, Madueke, accused of embezzling billions of dollars from Nigeria, expressed her willingness to provide detailed information about the funds she allegedly misappropriated while in power.
She Madueke proceeded to discuss her connection with the present governor of Zamfara State, Dauda Lawal Dare, who had served as the Executive Director of First Bank Nigeria PLC.
She reiterated that she entrusted Lawal with a staggering sum of over 9 billion dollars for safekeeping.
