SaharaReporters has learned that the embattled former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, did not appear at the Westminster Magistrates Court today.
According to Sam Piranty, a BBC correspondent, the court and the NCA froze 27,000 sterling pounds belonging to Alison-Madueke.
SaharaReporters reported earlier that Alison-Madueke’s son, Ugonna Madueke, was arrested as well as her mother Beatrice Agama and Melanie Spenser.
A confidential source told SaharaReporters that the fifth person arrested on Friday is suspected to be of Nigerian nationality. It is believed that Melanie Spenser is a Swiss national but that has not been independently confirmed by SaharaReporters.
Sources speaking to SaharaReporters have said that there “were likely more arrests this weekend” of people connected to Alison-Madueke’s financial crimes.
