Embattled
former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, has denied
allegations levelled against her by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, daring the anti-graft agency to provide incontrovertible any
evidence against her.
She also faulted President
Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption fight, saying it was aimed at demonising and
destroying a few Nigerians.
The former
minister said this in a viral statement on stelladimokokorkus.com, while
reacting to several media reports about her on Saturday.
A Federal
High Court in Lagos had recently ordered that the $153m which was illegally
lodged by the ex-minister through cronies in three banks be temporarily
forfeited to the Federal Government.
However,
Diezani denied ownership of the money, insisting that she had no access to
funds from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.
