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.
