The anti-graft agency tweeted: “The EFCC boss, Ibrahim Magu, and Dubai authorities have held series of meetings in respect of the former attorney general. He was accompanied by INTERPOL officers on Emirates Airlines Flight 785.
Adoke was picked up at the foot of the aircraft by EFCC operatives and transferred into a Toyota bus marked RBC 931 BV.Adoke’s lawyer, Mike Ozekhome , entered the airport arrival hall at about 4. 12pm. He was making telephone calls, walking up and down. Shortly after, he exited the hall. “So the options available were to continue to keep Adoke in INTERPOL custody, a prolonged legal battle, outright deportation, likelihood of extradition and consenting to Adoke’s voluntary offer to return to Nigeria.
In one of the charges before the High Court of the FCT, Adoke, Etete, Aliyu Abubakar and Malabu Oil and Gas Limited were alleged to have received $801,540,000 from Shell Nigeria Exploration Production Company, Nigeria Agip Exploration Limited and ENI SPA in relation to the grant of Oil Prospecting Licence .
“While he was undergoing immigration checks, he was informed that Interpol had a Warrant to arrest him. “The Interpol officials, however, said only the Warrant of Arrest was communicated to them by the Federal Government, and not any of these overriding court processes. “In his undertaking before the Dubai authorities, Adoke signed as follows: “I would go to Nigeria authorities to solve my problem, and without any stress or pressure from Dubai Police or anyone.”
