Nigerian ex-minister charged with money laundering

‘Nigeria’s Federal High Court on Wednesday charged a former oil minister with money laundering in an election bribery scandal over efforts to ensure former President Goodluck Jonathan won the 2015 election.
Diezani Allison-Madueke is the first minister from Jonathan’s Cabinet to be formally charged.
Prosecutors allege that she paid bribes totaling 264 million naira (nearly $1.4 million at the time) to three electoral officials the day before the March 2015 elections.
A former national security adviser has told the court that $2.1 billion was diverted from the war on Boko Haram extremists for bribes to ensure Jonathan won.’
