The embattled former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Allison-Madueke, has asked Nigerians to pray for her as she faces multi-million-pound allegations and charges of bribery and corruption in the United Kingdom.
Recall that the United Kingdom National Crime Agency (NCA) had charged her with receiving bribes in the form of cash, luxury goods, flights on private jets and the use of high-end properties in Britain in return for awarding oil contracts.
