The application by Diezani Alison-Madueke, former Minister of
Petroluem Resources, seeking to be joined as a defendant in an alleged N450m
fraud case in Nigeria, has been rejected by a Federal High Court sitting in
Lagos.
Justice Rilwan
Aikawa described the former Minister’s application as bizarre and a misuse of
court processes.
The judge held that he would not allow himself to be used to frustrate
Diezani’s imminent trial in the United Kingdom.
Aikawa rejected
all Diezani’s prayers, including an order to compel the Attorney General of the
Federation to repatriate her from the UK.
The former
Minister had on October 3, 2017 signified her interest to return to Nigeria and
defend criminal charges against her.
