Family members of a former Nigerian Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, have dismissed reports that she is dead.
SaharaReporters rang a close family friend of the Maduekes in Lagos, but the source denied reports of the former minister’s death. “I am going to a crucial meeting with [retired Rear Admiral] Alison Amaechina Madueke, and I can tell you the former minister is not dead.”
Also, her Lagos- based lawyer, Oscar Onwudiwe who had earlier told Saharareporters that a family meeting was going on about her later called to say she is alive.
Mrs. Alison-Madueke has been in the UK receiving treatment for cancer since former President Goodluck Jonathan left office in May 2015. In October she was arrested by agents of the National Crime Agency in the UK accused of money laundering.
