Former petroleum minister Allison-Madueke will today appear before a London court to face allegations bordering on money laundering and looting of Nigeria’s funds while she was minister of Petroleum and If found guilty, she is expected to serve up to 10 years in jail
It was revealed that the four accomplices arrested with the former petroleum minister will also appear in court
But rumours flying around have it that she will likely give up other corrupt Nigerians and even friends in other to get away with a lighter sentence from the UK court
Sources has revealed that the OPEC president has cut off contact with all Nigerians since her arrest and bail in London
The source said “Those in Jonathan’s camp were shocked by Diezani’s arrest. They have been desperately trying to get in touch with the ex-Minister since yesterday without success.
“As at today (yesterday), they are worried that Diezani has cut off contact with everyone, creating fears that she might spill the beans.
“The fear in Jonathan’s camp is that Diezani might be given the James Ibori treatment. They are suspecting that she might be tried and convicted in the UK.”
“None of us has been able to reach out to Diezani because all her lines are off. She has also not called to share her travails with anybody.”
It is the tradition of foreign courts to lighten the sentences of suspects if they cooperate with investigations
