Diezani is expected in court tomorrow about alleged bribery.
Diezani Allison-Madueke, the former minister of petroleum resources, will appear before a judge in the Southwark Crown Court on Monday to respond to charges of bribery and corruption brought forth by the National Crime Agency (NCA) of the United Kingdom.


She appeared before a Westminster Magistrate Court earlier this month, after which the corruption accusations and multimillion-pound allegations were moved to the crown court for Monday's hearings.


The 63-year-old will be present for the Plea and Pre-Trial, according to a Southwark Crown Court official who confirmed this to The Guardian last Friday. "That'll be courtroom 14."


He restated the earlier account when asked how long the trial will last, saying that "no date has been set" and that everything will rely on Monday's results.


If she enters a guilty plea, she might avoid going to trial. But if she enters a not guilty plea, a trial date will be scheduled.


Prominent member of President Goodluck Jonathan's administration from 2010 to 2015, Alison-Madueke is believed to have accepted bribes in exchange for contract awards while serving as Minister of Petroleum Resources.
