BEVERLY HILLS, April 29, (THEWILL) – The immediate past Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke’s son, Ugonna, is currently being sought after by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over his involvement in the alleged disbursement of money to INEC officials and some persons who monitored the last Presidential election.
Ugonna, said to have business interests in the United States and the United Kingdom, is in charge of the Business Development and Commercial Marketing department at Radam Maritime Services Limited, a firm, which is headed by his father, Alison Madueke, a former Chief of Naval Staff, who is also being investigated by the EFCC for alleged money laundering.
An EFCC insider revealed to the Punch that the ex-Minister’s son is the key to arresting all those involved in the case since he allegedly served as a middleman between the ex-minister and the Managing-Director of a commercial bank.
Speaking in confidence, a senior official of the anti-graft agency revealed: “We have launched a manhunt for Ugonna, who the suspects said was the one who drew up a list of individuals, who should be given the N23bn ($115m).
“We don’t know exactly where he is but we will get him. He needs to explain his role in the sharing of the money because the bank officials have been mentioning his name since they were brought in,” the newspaper was told.
