Going, going, about to be gone: U.S urges Buhari to probe Diezani

SaharaReporters has learned that President Buhari’s meeting on Monday with the U.S. Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, focused on a strategy to prosecute Diezani Alison-Madueke, for her role in several billion dollar corrupt deals in the

Their source revealed that the documents submitted and promised by the US disclose how Mrs. Alison-Madueke and her cohorts used several offshore accounts to move money between Switzerland and Germany.

Mr. Aluko, who fell out with Diezani after he reportedly started dating former superstar model, Naomi Campbell, has acquired a stunningly expensive yacht, a retinue of Rolls Royce cars, other expensive cars as well as multi-million homes and apartments in places like London, New York, and Dubai. .

An FBI field officer in Abuja reportedly played a key role in the investigation of Ms. Alison-Madueke and her self-chosen collaborators, including Mr. Aluko…… whose lips, every girl dreams to kiss…..
