Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday gave the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission until March 2020 to have a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke extradited to Nigeria.
The commission had in November 2018 filed 13 counts of money laundering against the ex-minister accusing her of unlawfully taking into her possession the sums of $39.7m and N3.32bn with which she allegedly bought choice properties in Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt in Rivers State, while she was in office.
When the matter came up before her on Tuesday, the judge threatened to strike out the money laundering case should the anti-corruption agency fail to produce the defendant in court by March 2020.
The prosecuting counsel, Mr. Faruk Abdullah, had earlier on Tuesday pleaded with the judge to adjourn the case sine die (indefinitely), on the grounds that the EFCC was facing challenges in its bid to extradite the defendant from the United Kingdom.
Diezani had been in the United Kingdom facing corruption investigations since 2015 when she left office as minister.
Abdullah told Justice Ojukwu on Tuesday that given the circumstances, it would be better for the case to be adjourned indefinitely so that it would not continue to “clog” the court’s docket.
In a swift response, the judge said, “My docket is not going to be a waiting room for the prosecution.”
“I will give you one more adjournment. If nothing happens on the next date, I will strike it out,” the judge added.
In her ruling, the judge adjourned the matter till March 10 “for a report or striking out”.
The prosecution on November 11, 2018, filed the 13 counts of money laundering accusing Diezani of unlawfully taking into her possession the sums of sums of $39.7m and N3.32bn when she reasonably ought to have known that the money formed part of the proceeds of unlawful activities.
She was said to have purchased choice landed assets with the money using different fronts as the owners.

FORGED LETTER OF TERMINATION APPOINTMENT BY UNION BANK NIG PLC
I am Omizu Joyce Jabofo with Admin no 1524627, have been an employee
of Union bank until I received a purported letter of Termination dated
the 19th day of April 2013.
Moreover, I was employed in to Union bank on the 20th of February 2006
and posted to the Warri Main Market Branch Office and was later
transferred to the Enerhen road branch when I had carrying out my
duties with every sense of humour according to the ethics of the bank
with care.
Furthermore, I was going my about my normal routine in the Enerhen
road branch when my manager sent a Co- staff to call me and I was
given a strange letter of termination.
I reacted and asked what did I do to deserve this, he replied by
saying my service is no longer required. The letter dated 19th April.
I TAGGED IT FAKE because my name was fraught with so many
irregularities ranging from the letter Head to the signature therein.
Attached are the documents for references purpose.
Besides, I never received any email or correspondence from the Head
office to commemorate the purported letter of termination as which is
the usual custom of Union Bank.
Note: Another thing that amazed me was the statement/ comment my
manager Mr. Nwachukwu Charles made is another thing that beats my
imagination. I quote; I actually rejected the letter at Zonal Office
Asaba and ask them why this lady should be treated this way because
she is a hard working staff. This statement/comment was made the
moment I was given the letter of termination by my manager in his
office. Furthermore, on the 13th of October 2015 I received a text
message from Union Bank crediting my account 0016825036 with the
customary 13th month salary as usual for all staff of Union Bank.
It was then, it beckoned on me that there is a foul play somewhere.
Because there is no way the bank will terminate one’s employment and
pay such after 2 years of exit from the said bank, Union Bank to be
precise.
Hence, I concluded that the said letter did not originate from the
Head Office coupled with the trend of events, the irregularities and
inconsistence in signature as well as the 13th month salary.
In the same vein, I decided to pay a visit to Head Office, Lagos on
the July, 2016 to clarify if this letter of termination originated
from Head Office. My intention was to see the GM. General Manager &
the HR. Head of Human Resources but I was deprived from seeing them, I
only saw some other staffs who categorically told me that the letter
originate from Head Office but I was not convinced left and came back.
In fact I was their twice all my effort proof abortive. Is on this
note I want the media to come into this matter to unravel everything
about this issue for justice to prevail. In fact, because of this same
matter I have lost 2 pregnancies.
i am uses this social median to get the attention of the Borad of Director in union bank nig plc and the Efcc
Una wan kill this woman ?why na only her I de hear about?what about other corrupt politicians or na because say she be woman?
This alleged criminal might end up going scot free because the United Kingdom has created a hurdle in her extradiction to Nigeria for trial. The EFCC might end up confiscating her landed properties and high priced personal effects in absentia. Unfortunate!
This our judges just de do anyhow this days. Striking it out on that ground only gives justice to the accused… Now does she deserve it? For the mare issues of not been able to arrest a criminal They dismiss case & set the criminal free. Chaiii Buhari, check this woman’s accounts. I smell sponsorship
