The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has confiscated a mansion valued at N3.58bn ($18m at the official exchange rate of N199 to a dollar) in the Asokoro area of Abuja, belonging, allegedly, to the former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
EFCC’s acting Chairman, Mr. Ibrahim Magu revealed this in an interview aired by Al-Jazeera News Network.
Magu, in the interview, said that items found in the house included jewelry, furniture and a bulletproof gym worth about $2m.
He clarified that the house was part of the $10bn in cash and assets which has been seized by the Federal Government in the last one year.
“We have been able to take on a lot of big shots that were hitherto untouchable in the three arms of the military, political class. We have recorded 164 convictions in just one year,” he said.
