The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has put up for auction some properties of the former Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Allion Madueke. Her inner wears- bras, were not left out.
The auction followed the judgment of the Federal High Court which grants final forfeiture of the properties to the federal government on the ground that they were acquired with illicit money, according to TheNiche
The Diezani property located in highbrow Banana Island Foreshore Estate, Ikoyi, Lagos, include 18 flats and six penthouses located at Building 3, Block B, Bella Vista, Plot 1, Zone N, Federal Government Layout.
The properties of the former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Alex Badeh, were also listed for auction
Among Diezani and Badeh properties listed for auctions include 125 pieces of wedding gowns, 13 pieces of small gowns, 41 pieces of waist trainers, 73 pieces of hard flower, 11 pieces of suit, 11 pieces of invisible bra, 73 pieces of veils, 30 pieces of braziers, two pieces of standing fan, 17 pieces of magic skits, six packets of blankets, one table blanket and 64 pairs of shoes.
The presence of bras among the properties up for auctions, have stirred controversy.
On Twitter, Nigerians have been reacting to the EFCC auction list.
@Fejiro said: “Dear FG, why is Diezani’s bra up for auction abeg??”
@Lagos_poet said: ” Everything found in her house are up for auction. Oddly, that includes are bra.”
@9thBrother said: “Never forget, Dieziani always comes up anytime the FG wants to distract us from something.”
@AJOrhewere added: “A govt that stands idly by while corruption festers is complicit in the crime. The real fight against corruption in public service by the Nigerian govt is the “chase” that happens after the crime itself. Whatever happens after that could be negotiated!”
