Former presidential media aide Laolu Akande calls on ex–Minister of Petroleum Resources Diezani Alison-Madueke to return to Nigeria following a UK court acquittal. Akande made the remarks on Friday during an interview on Channels Television’s “The Morning Brief,” describing the UK ruling as positive but saying it does not address other legal matters. He argues that Alison-Madueke should come back to Nigeria to resolve the remaining corruption-related issues there, including proceedings associated with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). According to Akande, some of her properties have already been forfeited under court orders linked to the EFCC cases. He frames the call as an opportunity for Alison-Madueke to defend herself before Nigerian authorities and to determine how the situation develops. The reports note that Alison-Madueke has faced multiple corruption allegations and investigations in Nigeria and abroad since leaving office in 2015, and that Nigerian authorities have sought her extradition. The UK acquittal is reported to clear her of all charges in a long-running case, prompting renewed discussion about her next legal steps.
