Published

Diezani



Nigerians have trolled ex-Petroleum Minister, Diezani Allison Madueke for her widespread fraud and newly acquired portfolio as Trade and Investment Commissioner in the Dominican Republic.

Investigation, however, revealed that her case, including the extradition process, is getting complicated after laying claim to citizenship of the Commonwealth of Dominica.

Diezani was issued a diplomatic passport, DP0000445 by the Dominican Government on May 21.2015 shortly before the handover to President Muhammadu Buhari by ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.

Her citizenship was confirmed by a May 29, 2015 approval letter by the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica, Roosevelt Kerry.

She was also appointed as a Trade and Investment Commissioner for the Commonwealth of Dominica.

Sources from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have weighed the odds of extraditing Diezani to Nigeria which is now impossible due to her Dominican diplomatic passport.
