The Court of Appeal, Lagos Division, yesterday dismissed an appeal by the embattled former Minister of Petroleum, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, challenging the forfeiture of her $40 million worth of jewellery to the Federal Government.

The appellate court held that there was no substance in Alison-Madueke’s bid to overturn the lower court’s order. It affirmed the 2019 judgment of Justice Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court, which forfeited the jewellery, following an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission .

The items were seized from the former minister’s premises at No. 10 Fredrick Chiluba Close, Asokoro, Abuja. Justice Oweibo had on July 19, 2019, granted the EFCC’s motion for final forfeiture of the jewellery. The investigator further said the findings by the EFCC showed that she started acquiring the jewellery in 2012, two years after she was appointed minister.
