Why UK Govt Seized £27,000 From Diezani

The British government, yesterday, seized £27,000 from the embattled petroleum ex-minister, who was granted conditional bail by the National Crime Agency, NCA, last week.

The British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, reported that £5,000 and $2000 were also seized by the NCA from Beatrice Agama, Diezani’s mother.

According to a BBC report monitored in Abuja, the NCA had approached the Westminster Magistrate’s Court on Marylebone Road, London, and obtained the order to seize the said sum until April next year.

The NCA is said to have applied for the seizure of the money in accordance with Section 295 of Proceeds of Crime Act 2012, POCA.

In response, the court ruled that the money could be held for six months.

But the NCA declined to comment on when and where the money was seized from the former Nigerian minister.
