A London jury has acquitted former Nigerian petroleum minister Diezani Alison-Madueke of all six bribery charges following more than 46 hours of deliberation at Southwark Crown Court.
After years hanging over her head, the case against Diezani Alison-Madueke has finally collapsed — in her favour. A jury at Southwark Crown Court in London has acquitted the former Nigerian petroleum minister of bribery charges, clearing her on all six counts after grinding through more than 46 hours of deliberation.
The verdict landed on Wednesday, closing out a long-running legal saga that had kept the ex-minister’s name in headlines for years. TheCable reports the story is still developing, with more details expected to follow. For now, though, it’s a clean sweep for Alison-Madueke, who walks away from the London trial without a single charge sticking.
