Ex-Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, who is under investigation over allegations of bribery and money laundering, has breast cancer and will undergo surgery in Britain, her lawyer said on Saturday.
Nigerian authorities said Alison-Madueke, who served as petroleum minister from 2010-2015, was arrested in London last week.
But her lawyer, Oscar Onwudiwe, denied this, saying she spent only 45 minutes with the police.
“Mrs. Alison-Madueke was never arrested or detained and her passport was never seized. She was merely invited (by British police), and she honoured it promptly,” Reuters quoted the lawyer as saying in a statement.
“She has breast cancer and it was not detected early. It was discovered nine months ago. She will have surgery in London next week.
The ex-minister had previously denied any wrongdoing when questioned about allegations of missing public funds and graft in Nigeria. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Why is her medical care Britain's responsibility, go back to Nigeria, you Thief.
ReplyDeleteNormal human beings diagnosed with cancer would leave whatever they are doing to go have surgery immediately they find out.This specimen of a human is the first I know who claimed to have been diagnosed with breast cancer 9 months ago but remained at her post for reasons best known to her and her thieving cabals until they lost the election.Considering the fact that she has all the money to pay for an urgent operation at the best privately run hospital in the United Kingdom makes you wonder if her claim of having cancer is true or it's just another case of a wanted or suspected criminal looking for sympathy.Well she can fool some people some times but can't fool all the people all the time because Nigerians are not seeing the light
