Sources close to the newspaper and attached to the EFCC confirmed the development, but sought anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the matter. Alison Madueke, a former chief of naval staff, was said to have been picked up yesterday morning in Abuja for alleged illegal routing of funds in excess of $600,000 through his personal account to some accounts abroad.
The source also says the husband of the embattled former minister was later granted bail on self-recognition, after a few hours of interrogation at the EFCC office. His international passport was however seized by the EFCC officials.
Diezani is believed to have headed the petroleum ministry at a time in which corruption was at its highest. She is currently being investigated over alleged misappropriation of funds. She was arrested in London late last year over alleged financial crimes. She continues to plead innocence of any wrongdoing.
