The Federal High Court in Lagos today rejected an application by ex-Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, seeking to be joined as a defendant in a N450m fraud case in Nigeria.
Justice Rilwan Aikawa, while rejecting the application, described it as bizarre.
The judge it’s a misuse of processes, and he would not allow himself to be used to frustrate Diezani’s imminent trial in the United Kingdom, where is currently under investigation.
The judge declined all of Diezani’s prayers, including an order mandating the Attorney General of the Federation to facilitate her return from the UK.
