- There are “strong indications” that Switzerland might extradite Nigerian oil baron, Kola Aluko, to the United Kingdom, as part of investigations into the money laundering/bribery and corruption allegations levelled against Diezani Alison-Madueke.
- The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland is said to have confirmed the development via e-mail, stating that the UK had sought for mutual legal assistance from its country.
A top security official in the UK is said to have told newsmen, “There are strong links between the former oil minister and Aluko. Extradition is not out of question.”
