Sources inside the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have disclosed to a SaharaReporters correspondent that Mr. Alison Amaechina Madueke, the husband to the embattled former Minister for Petroleum Resources Diezani Alison-Madueke, was arrested today.
Mr. Madueke was arrested this morning by EFCC agents in Abuja for illegally laundering more than $600,000 through his personal accounts.
According to an EFCC source, "[Mr. Madueke] was arrested this morning [in Abuja] and released on administrative bail." The EFCC also seized Mr. Madueke's passport and placed him under caution.
This is the latest development in an ongoing global investigation into the financial activity of the former Minister of Petroleum Resources Diezani Maduke, who was arrested last year in London for financial crimes. Mrs. Madueke was at the helm of the petroleum industry in Nigeria during a time of unprecedented theft, according to analysts.

so many claims here that the wife (Alison) ran away, but that is not true...... I have every reason to say that the Buhari's led anti corruption fight is very selective. Buhari knows exactly what he is doing, should He probe Alison Madueke, then the Emir of Kano must be arrested too cos he was directly involved in every misappropriated funds and trust me, the northerners won't take it easy with him. That is the main reason Buhari has not arrested Alison Madueke. Que Sera Sera
