Article involving Diezani Alison-Madueke, former executive director of Shell in Nigeria
BRITAIN has launched an investigation into a Nigerian oil tycoon at the heart of a search for tens of billions of dollars in revenues that went missing from the coffers of Africa’s most populous nation.
Kola Aluko, founder of London-based Seven Energy, rose from obscurity to fabulous wealth during the tenure of former oil minister Diezani Alison-Madueke. She held power for five years before leaving in May, when new president Muhammadu Buhari won power on a pledge to stamp out corruption. Under her watch the national oil company allegedly failed to pay as much as $20bn (£13bn) owed to the state.
