Cancer Ailment: Dieziani Alison-Madueke Another Chemotherapy
The statement said: “Despite all the frenzy over Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, not even one reporter or journalist has tried to contact the family to verify any of the rumours they have published with reckless abandon”.
These developments have come on the heels of global condemnation and embarrassment stemming from the revelation of Alison-Madueke’s arrest by the National Crime Agency (NCA) for bribery and money laundering.
Onwudiwe, while refuting negative reports detailing corruption allegations against a few members of the families, including Diezani, said, “The Madueke family, like most other families, have their own challenges”.
He also revealed that Alison-Madueke’s husband will be traveling to the United Kingdom soon.
It was on Wednesday believed that most of the investigations so far centre around gifts-in-kind allegedly received by the former minister especially in the payments for rental accommodation in a London Flat in St John’s Wood area of London said to be occupied by the former minister, and several payments said to be for luxury cars while the then minister was in London by a number of oil traders who had contracts with Nigerian petroleum entities under her watch.
Nigerians have since expressed sarcasm over the plight of the former minister, saying that she has to survive her present ailment and return to face the charges brought against her with a view to proving her innocence or serve the punishment which her sins deserve.
“The Madueke and Agama families would want the decent public to know that neither Ugonna nor Somze or Abiye or anyone related to the two families was picked up or arrested or invited for questioning by anybody whatsoever”.
“As though to outdo the sensational allegations in the online publication, the mainstream media in Nigeria has been alleging that Mrs. Diezani attempted to purchase a property on Hyde Park Street in London for a whooping amount which embarrassingly ranges from 12.5 million sterling pounds to 13 billion sterling pounds. Yes, she can- and very well, too”. “It belongs to a well-known eminently successful Nigerian entrepreneur who would also find this allegation embarrassing as the intention to sell the property has neither been contemplated nor disclosed to any person”.
Nigerian newspapers reported Alison-Madueke had been arrested and released on bail. A LIE! Mrs. Agama has no house or property in the United Kingdom.
“The lies about his having travelled with a team of lawyers should please stop”.
“The Madueke family has taken a decision on how to appropriately deal with those who are on a mission to soil their hard earned family name”.
