Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke, the embattled former Nigerian Petroleum Resources Minister, Thursday afternoon, finally appeared at a London Police Station.

In a report monitored on Nigeria’s TVC News, Alison-Madueke was at the Charing Cross Police Station, London to honour the invitation by the authorities.

She was granted bail on the same condition given earlier and asked to return to the station on 21 June.

In October last year, the former minister, who was one of the most powerful officials of the President Goodluck Jonathan administration, was arrested by the UK National Crimes Agency, alongside four other people.

She was arrested on suspicion of money laundering, via a network of relatives and business associates .

Diezani is battling cancer as well, during her stay in London.
