We’ve only recovered 15% of Diezani loot, says Magu


The Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, on Thursday, said only about 15 per cent of funds allegedly misappropriated by a former Minister of Petroleum Resources , Mrs . Diezani Alison-Madueke , had been recovered.
Magu, who said the commission was working with the United Kingdom on her case , noted that efforts were being made to extradite her back to Nigeria.
The anti -corruption boss, who spoke during a courtesy visit of the principal officers of the commission to The PUNCH Place , Magboro, on Thursday, vowed never to give up until all the money stolen from the country was recovered.
He said, “ We are working on the process of Diezani’ s extradition. But we have to allow them (the UK government) because we are collaborating. There is the National Crime Agency and the Crown Prosecution Service in London , and our colleagues , the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in America. We had cause to meet in London . I was there myself for about a week . We are working not only on the Diezani case ; but the Diezani case has become a test case
