Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, will on Monday
lead a protest to the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) in Abuja to demand the extradition of Diezani
Alison-Madueke, former petroleum minister, from the UK to Nigeria.

 

The entertainer disclosed this in a statement signed by him and Deji Adeyanju on Thursday.
A few days ago, he led a series of protests to demand that President Muhammadu Buhari either resume office or resign.
In one of the protests, his group – Our Mumu Don Do – was attacked by hoodlums at Wuse market in the federal capital territory.
Alison-Madueke
has been linked to several corruption cases in Nigeria. Some pieces of
property she allegedly owned have also been seized by the government.
But the former minister insists that she has no case to answer and that the pieces of property linked to her were not hers.
“Following
recent mind-boggling allegations of corruption and wanton looting of
public funds and the collective patrimony of Nigerian citizens by the
former minister for petroleum, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke, we call on
the Economic & Financial Crimes Commission  (EFCC) to apply for her
extradition from the United Kingdom to face prosecution in Nigeria,”
Charly Boy said in the statement.
“Furthermore, a federal high
court has ordered Mrs Alison-Madueke to permanently forfeit several
luxurious properties in several high brow areas across the country to
the federal government.
“It is therefore unimaginable that the
federal government is not pushing for Mrs Alison-Madueke’s extradition
to face punishment for her alleged crimes.
“In this light, we will
be holding a two-day sit out in front of the EFCC headquarters to
demand that the federal government applies for her extradition and
prosecution in Nigeria.” (TheCable)
