Buhari’s Aide Labels Charly Boy, Others ‘Ignorant’ Over Demand For Diezani’s Extradition

President Muhammadu Buhari’s Personal Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, has described those who are demanding for the extradition of former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, as ignorant.

She was apparently referring to Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, and his #OurMumuDonDo group.

The group had on Monday staged a protest at the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), demanding for the extradition of Diezani.

But Lauretta reacting in a series of tweets on her Twitter handle said, “It appears that some of us especially those who are not good or are selective at remembering the past, are also not willing to use Google.

“The United Kingdom does not charge foreigners for crimes committed in other countries. They charge them for crimes committed against UK

“In Ibori’s case in the UK, I was in court for d judgement and the judge made it clear that his sentence was for crimes committed in the UK

“The Judge added, ‘It’s my hope that when you return to Nigeria, you’ll be charged for d crimes you committed against d people of Delta’

“UK will have its pound of Diezani’s flesh in form of jail sentence. Thereafter, they may hand her over to the US, Italy and then Nigeria

“Those asking for the extradition of Diezani are very ignorant and did not do their homework at all. That’s ‘mumu-ness’ in itself.”

There have been several allegations of fraud levelled against the former minister in the UK, US and Nigeria.

A Federal High Court in Lagos, had on Monday, ordered the final forfeiture of N7,646,700,000 to the Federal Government allegedly belonging to the former minister.
