(Diezani's Arrest) ‘Buhari not involved,’ Tsav

Former Petroleum minister, Deziani Allison-Madueke  Punch

A former commissioner of police, in Lagos state, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, has described as false, the insinuations that President Buhari had a hand in the arrest of the former minister of petroleum, Alison Madueke.

According to Punch Newspapers, Tsav said “When Jonathan was still in power, the National Assembly invited her several times to answer questions on some of these issues but she never honoured any of the invitations.”

Adding that “Even when the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, now Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi, made the allegations that US$20bn was not accounted for; she refused to appear before the National Assembly.”

Tsav said Deziani lived like she was untouchable, and above the law.

The former minister of petroleum was arrested in London recently.
