The British police have charged the former minister of petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke with bribery offences.
The UK police reportedly said Alison-Madueke suspectedly accepted £100,000 bribes in return for awarding multi-million-pound oil and gas contracts.
The 63-year-old ex-minister served during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, from 2010 to 2015.
