Court Rejects Diezani's Request To Appear For Money Laundering Trial In Nigeria

On Wednesday, 1st Nov 2017, The Federal Lagos High Court rejects an application written by Mrs, Diezani Alison-Madueke who was the formal petroleum resources, seeking to be joined as a defendant in an alleged N450million fraud case in Nigeria.

While the application was rejected, Justice Rilwan Aikawa, described it as bizarre and a misuse of court processes, stressing that he would not allow himself to be used to frustrate Diezani's imminent trial in the united Kingdom, where she's currently under investigation and on bail.

The judge declined all of Diezani's prayers, including an order mandating the Attorney General of the Federation to facilitate her return from United Kingdom, where is currently being investigated for alleged fraud by the Metropolitan Police.
