Diezani: Charly Boy group vows to take protest to London
This was disclosed to newsmen in Abuja by a co-convener of the protest, Deji Adeyanju.
“We will appeal to the British Government saying ‘if Diezani Allison-Madueke is just allowed to be prosecuted in London, it will merely amount to a pat on the back’, because her contravention of the British laws and the punishments therein are minor compared to what awaits her here in Nigeria.
“There are real allegations in Nigeria that she needs to answer to. So, we will be appealing to the British Government to send her back to Nigeria so that she can properly be charged.
“As we speak, the plan for the London protest is in top gear. We are also mindful of the fact that she is slated to appear before a British court in September. We are also planning something for court appearances in the UK
The group suspended its protest in Nigeria yesterday barely 24 hours after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) gave assurances that it is working in collaboration with the Ministry of Justice to ensure that Allison-Madueke is repatriated to Nigeria to face allegations of corruption slammed against her.
