The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is set to seize properties in the United States belonging to Former Petroleum Resources Minister  Diezani Alison-Madueke.

In the last one year, the EFCC has traced assets and items worth about $10billion to Mrs. Alison-Madueke and her business associates, Mr. Kola Aluko and Chief Jide Omokore.

The EFCC chairman, Ibrahim Magu, reportedly just returned from the US where he discussed the move with relevant authorities.

Speaking about the development, a top EFCC source said: “We have located some assets allegedly owned by Diezani and some of her business associates in the United States. We are already collaborating with the US Government to attach these assets.

“In fact, the EFCC chairman, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, spent about one and a half weeks in the US to work with the relevant agencies to trace Diezani’s properties, some of which are believed to have been secured through business fronts like Kola Aluko.

“We have submitted relevant documents to the US authorities in order to facilitate the seizure of the assets.”
