The Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), said this on Wednesday in Abuja during an interview granted to some Hausa service State House Correspondents.
His statement was in response to reports that the former petroleum minister was asking the Federal High Court in Lagos to order the Attorney-General to bring her back to Nigeria from the United Kingdom.
Malami, however, said her extradition was not necessary since the UK government was already investigating her and taking appropriate measures on the matter.
“The truth of the matter is that steps have been taken by the United Kingdom authorities on issues bothering on corrupt practices involving Nigerians,” he said.
“If Nigeria feels strongly that there is need to bring Mrs Diezani Allison-Madueke here to face charges of corruption, government will not hesitate to do that.”
