A BBC correspondent, Sam Piranty, has fueled rumours that the trial of Nigeria’s former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke may have commenced in London.
Piranty, who took to his Twitter earlier today, tweeted that Alison-Madueke was at the Westminster Magistrates Court, Central London on Monday but could not confirm have been brought against the embattled minister who arrived the court at 10.00 am.
