The pieces of jewelry seized from a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, have been valued at about N14.460 billion, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said.
EFCC Chairman, AbdulRasheed Bawa, disclosed this on Friday at an investigative hearing by the ad-hoc committee of the House of Representatives probing the status of recovered loot in the country.
The EFCC boss also told the lawmakers that the houses finally forfeited by the ex-minister have been valued at about $80m.
Diezani, a former minister in the Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, has been charged over $20 billion missing from the NNPC during her tenure.
Bawa said the commission has not prosecuted the former minister because the she is out of Nigeria’s jurisdiction.
Diezani has been living in Britain since leaving office in 2015.
