[It is a matter of public record that £27,000 was seized from Diezani Allison-Madueke at Westminster Magistrates Court along with smaller sums from two other individuals, but we are not providing any further detail at this time and it should not be inferred that this relates to any previous statements made by the UK National Crime Agency]

The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Paul Arkwright, has refused to comment on whether his government will accede to President Muhammad Buhari’s request for former oil minister, Diezani Madueke to be extradited to Nigeria. In an interview with Punch, Arkwright declined to respond when asked if Madueke would be extradited by to Nigeria by the British government. He however said, “It is a matter of public record that £27,000 was seized from Diezani Allison-Madueke at Westminster Magistrates Court along with smaller sums from two other individuals, but we are not providing any further detail at this time and it should not be inferred that this relates to any previous statements made by the UK National Crime Agency.”
Also, speaking on former Delta State governor James Ibori’s loot, Arkwright said, “The UK has ensured that assets seized, confiscated or forfeited that fall within Article 57 United Nations Convention Against Corruption 2005 are returned to the country from which they were stolen. We are working with the Nigerian authorities to deliver an effective mechanism for the return of stolen funds and assets from Nigeria.

“None of the money from Ibori’s confiscation has as yet been returned; his confiscation hearing is scheduled to take place later in 2016. Assets have been forfeited and confiscated from linked trials and we are, through the Home Office, working on the modality of their return, he said. “The UK government does not aid corruption in Nigeria or elsewhere. The arrest and prosecution of James Ibori in a UK court demonstrates our commitment to this agenda.”

 For starters, there's an error in
your write up.
You said policemen came to
arrest Buhari! Those four men
weren't policemen, they were
military men. As for th last paragraph I would
say it is your own opinion. But it
could be true th bottom line is
simply this, in all you do live a
just life. Because even if Buhari
wanted to get back at Dasuki, and Dasuki was clean there would be
nothing Buhari can do. Really? Why do you speak like a
novice, if Buhari wanted to get
back to Dasuki and he was clean.
First off, there is no clean politician
in Africa, everybody can be probed
and made to look bad if they really want to bring him down, even
Buhari had received 300m cars
from Dasuki during this period, did
you notice how no one ever speak
about that? Well that's the
formular, ever hard anyone hustle obasanjo like this? Though there
are evidence of major corruption
during his term, when you get more
familiar with politics you will realize
how cold it is out here. This is all
about revenge and not an opinion Should we call this happening now
a revenge? Well, their wahala.
Dasuki must bring those money
taking. how true is this?
