US considers visa ban, financial sanctions against Alison-Madueke, others

According to a report by Wall Street Journal, the US is considering a visa ban and financial ban on Nigeria's former Petroleum Minister Alison-Madueke following alleged bribery, corruption and laundering money through British and U.S. banks. Read the report below
American officials have also considered a visa ban or financial sanctions against Mrs. Alison-Madueke and a dozen of her associates, oil officials and politicians, U.S. officials said. Washington is scrutinizing whether her associates laundered money in the U.S., the U.K. and other countries, the officials said.
Both the State Department and the U.K.’s National Crime Agency declined to comment on their investigations: “We continue to work with Nigeria to fight corruption,” a State Department official said.
Together, the litany of legal actions—conducted on three continents— point to a swift but uncertain precedent for Africa’s struggle against corruption.
“The real issue is the signaling effect: that holding public office in Nigeria should not be a license to plunder,” said Bismarck Rewane, managing director of Lagos research firm Financial Derivatives Co. “It’s working. The number of bribes I’m being asked for has dropped.”
For the better part of a decade, graft fighters in Africa, having lost faith in their own courts, have asked judges in Europe and America to wage their battles.

Super imbecilic story.visa ban my fat ass. Were is atiku,tinubu the dug barron,mallam amechi the campaign funder,sanusi the pedophile CBN criminal,fashola the website and borehole criminal,obasanjo the chief looter and kwankwaso the criminal,they are there working freely an buhari the terrorist sponsor is here bringing nigeria name to mud in the name of fighting corruption which we all know is a scam an fraud.
Diezeni is not corrupt as those folks i mention she is innocent so USA are just players playing on nigeria inteligence.
I weep for nigeria under imbecilic docile buhari.

I don't know what to make of this Diezani . Fact public figures including politicians past & presents since 1970s onwards have embezzled public funds without serious reaction for recovery. Thievery by politicians who own expensive properties abroad- Switzerland,London etc were common knowledge. Why is Diezani's case appear as a novelty?Abi She tiff pass the rest who are even ministerial nominees? Gender discrimination is screaming here!

king Jaja said...

Nigerians will say it witch hunt....Nigerians condole corruptions that's the reason the politicians get away with it and when they are investigated they get supporters to shout witch hunt.

TheRealAkon said...

This Diezani case is really getting me wondering what is going on. Public figure including polliticians have caused act of thievery since in the 1970s onwards without much fuss. They've embezzled public funds for their own benefits with unsuccessful probes that usually collapsed ( after several bribes) money used in acquiring expensive properties abroad & enriching their Swiss accounts never mind houses in London & Switzerland etc. Diezani's alleged fund misappropriation isn't unique or is it? Where she 'tiff' pass the rest? Current ministerial nominees lists are full of people guilty of this alleged crime! As a woman there is gender discrimination screaming here!

I can say authentically that Diezani Alison-Madueke has American Green-card i.e. She has US citizenship. I wonder why US is talking about visa for someone that has her citizenship. Curious....

Having a U.S. green card is not the same thing as U.S. citizenship. A U.S. green card can be revoked.

After her children will come out to rebuff this claim. Wall Street Journal is an authoritative source so the children should go bury their heads in the sand of shame. The era of flying private jets and whisking Nigeria’s money to overseas countries is over!!!

The press have had a field day conjuring endless sensational stories about Diezani. I refuse to believe any of these stories until she physically appears in court. Even in the Ibori saga, story no plenty like this.

Anonymous said...

it seems the major issue here is" the fact that Diezani is female and clearly on some revenge list or black book of the west . Rotimi still made the ministerial list -Despite widespread knowledge of his high level thievery and the use of salaries of poor civil servants in Rivers State to fund Bihari's election. many died because they could not afford their meds or pay deposits to be teal or pay deposits to be treated in hospital while he was flying around in the state jet: Yet. he was allowed to enter the USA. Abi na cia operative im be? How can such defiant stealing be okay? Reminds me of when folks like ldi Amin, Ghaddafi and Mubarak were "friendlies" to the west.
