Finally President Buhari Explains Why He Can’t Probe Alison-Madueke, Others

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari has said, prosecuting the immediate past Minister of Petroleum Resources, Deizani Alison-Madueke and other petroleum workers was difficult because of what he tagged lack of evidence.

President Buhari stated this in London, during an exclusive interview with Peter Okwoche of the British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, on the sideline of a conference on the ongoing Syrian crisis.

In a series of tweet by Okwoche after the interview, Mr. Buhari was quoted to have said, “To prosecute corruption successfully we need evidence. That’s not easy especially in petroleum sector.”

Buhari had vowed to prosecute all those who dipped their hand into the nation’s treasury for private use and among those brandished and suspected to be prosecuted is the immediate past petroleum Minister.
