There are conflicting reports about the appearance of embattled former
Minister of Petroleum resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, in a London
court today. BBC's Sam Piranty had earlier in the day reported that
Diezani had appeared in court with her mother Beatrice Agama, a position
Sahara reporters is also reporting. However Sam Piranty has tweeted
again saying she did not appear in court. The Cable in their report also
say that she did not appear in court, that the court sent them a mail.
Sahara Reporters still maintains she showed up in court today alongside
her mother. What has however been confirmed is that an application for
detention of cash seized under the Proceeds of Crime Act was today made
against Diezani. £27,000 was reportedly seized from Diezani while some
monies was also seized from her mother. See Sam Piganty's tweets
