BUHARI: WHY I CAN'T PROSECUTE ALISON MADUEKE

President Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed in an interview with Peter Okwoche of the BBC that he is unable to prosecute  Deizani Alison-Madueke, the former minister of petroleum resources, and other petroleum workers for lack of evidence.

According to , Break Times reports, Okwoche quoted  president Buhari  in a number of tweets that the president said in order to successfully  "prosecute corruption"  evidence is needed and getting the evidence according to the president isn't easy "especially in petroleum sector."

The president unwilling to give up on his search for evidence has unwittingly admitted that there was no form of evidence privy to his government against the former minister and as such vindicated her from diverse alleged corrupt malpractices leveled against her by Nigerians.

President Buhari had earlier threatened to prosecute all those who dipped their hand into the nation’s wealth for private use and among those brandished and suspected to be prosecuted is Alison-Madueke.
