After a successful cancer surgery operation on former Nigerian Petroleum Minister, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke in a London hospital, security has been beefed up around her in the UK to remove any impediment to her full recovery.
The surgery which was conducted on October 22 is coming at a time she is being investigated by the UK government over allegations of corruption during her stint at the helm of affairs at Nigeria’s cash cow – the oil ministry.
According to the New Telegraph, quoting a family source, Diezani was advised by doctors to avoid any form of disturbance which she has been doing in hiding and with increased security presence around her.
“The focus on Diezani and hysteria has completely shifted everything in one direction,” the source noted. “Her family’s interest is for her to get well.
“The family is particularly worried about her health and seriously praying that she gets well.
“She is yearning to give an account of her stewardship once she is well enough.
“Nigerians should pray for her to get well so that we can put all this behind us.”
It was not immediately clear if the security is being undertaken by the UK police or privately-arranged.
