Alison-Madueke appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court on Monday, October 2, 2023, after being charged with bribery offences amounting to £100,000 following a National Crime Agency (NCA) investigation.

She was, however, granted bail by District Judge Michael Snow, who imposed certain conditions, considering her a potential flight risk.

The 63-year-old, who also served as president of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), played a significant role in the Nigerian government between 2010 and 2015.

The NCA suspects she accepted bribes during her time as Minister for Petroleum Resources in exchange for awarding multimillion-pound oil and gas contracts.

Assets worth millions of pounds related to the alleged offences have already been frozen as part of the ongoing investigation.

In March of this year, the NCA also provided evidence to the US Department of Justice that enabled them to recover assets totaling $53.1 million linked to Alison-Madueke’s alleged corruption.

She is alleged to have benefited from at least £100,000 in cash, chauffeur-driven cars, flights on private jets, luxury holidays for her family, and the use of multiple London properties.
