The EFCC yesterday arrested Rear Admiral Alison Madueke (rtd), husband to former petroleum minister, Diezani, over alleged money laundering to the tune of $600, 000, official sources said.
An impeccable source at the EFCC who confirmed the development, but sought anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the matter, revealed that Madueke, a former chief of naval staff, was picked up yesterday morning in Abuja for alleged illegal routing of funds in excess of $600,000 through his personal account to some accounts abroad.
The husband of the embattled former minister was later granted an administrative bail on self-recognition, after a few hours of interrogation at the EFCC office. His international passport was however seized by the EFCC officials.
Though the details on what the laundered $600, 000 was meant for, investigation revealed that it may not be unconnected with the failing medical condition of the one-time most powerful minister under former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.
