A former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, has sued the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) for their alleged libelous publications accusing her of corruption.
Mrs Alison-Madueke is suing for N100 billion as compensation for the publications which, she said, falsely portrayed her “as a common looter of the national wealth and a debased and corrupt public officer.”
The suit which she filed at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, on 26 May, challenges publications that date back to 2016.
