The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is making moves to confiscate two mansions said to belong to ex-minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke in Dubai.
The properties, which are reportedly worth 74,000,000 dirhams (N7.1bn), are located at E146 Emirates Hill and the J5 Emirates Hill.
It was further reported that the anti-graft agency will be exploiting the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty the Federal Government had recently signed with the government of the UAE in applying for the forfeiture of the properties through the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation.
“We have informed the UAE authorities that from our investigation, we believe Diezani bought the properties with the proceeds of crime.
The whole process is still ongoing but with the MLAT, signed by President Buhari, it has made work a lot easier for us,” the report quoted a source as saying.
