The United Kingdom has seized more money from those arrested alongside Nigeria’s former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Deziani Alison-Madueke.
The United Kingdom National Crime Agency had on Friday arrested Alison-Madueke and four other persons in connection with a money laundering allegation.
Those arrested apart from Alison-Madueke were her mum, Beatrice Agama; Ugonna Madueke; and and a Swiss, Melanie Spencer, who is said to be the wife of a Ghanaian oil businessman, Kevin Okyere, reportedly a close ally of the former Minister of Petroleum Resources.
The UK NCA on Monday through a Magistrate Court in Westminster sized £10,000 from Spencer.
£5,000 and $2000 was seized by the NCA from Beatrice Agama.
£27,000 in sterling, dollars and Nigerian naira was seized from Alison Madueke herself as earlier reported.
