At the Charing Cross Police Station, in London on Monday, a Channels TV correspondent, Doris Okenwa, did not see any sign of Mrs Alison-Madueke early in the morning.
She waited for several hours before also visiting the magistrate court without any trace of the former minister.
Mrs Allison-Madueke was arrested on Friday morning but was granted bail and asked to return to court on Monday.
She was arrested by the National Crime Agency along with four other people and is being investigated for alleged bribery, corruption and money laundering.
She denied any wrong doing when accused by the then Central Bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, who is now the Emir of Kano, of alleged misappropriation of $20 billion oil money.
