The Westminster Magistrates Court, on Monday adjourned hearing in bribery allegation suit involving Nigeria’s former minister of petroleum resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke to November 2025.

The former oil miniter appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court on October 2, 2023, after being charged with bribery offences amounting to £100,000 following a National Crime Agency (NCA) investigation.

The District Judge, Michael Snow, granted her bail and imposed some conditions on her after considering her ‘a flight risk’.

The NCA alleged Diezani accepted bribes during her time as Minister for Petroleum Resources in exchange for awarding multimillion-pound oil and gas contracts.

The NCA also alleged that she benefited from at least £100,000 in cash, chauffeur-driven cars, flights on private jets, luxury holidays for her family, and the use of multiple London properties.

Assets valued millions of pounds linked to the alleged bribery offence, had been frozen.
