In response to this generosity, Abiodun Olayode, the mother of the quadruplets, expressed her hope that First Lady Remi Tinubu would also offer support.

She emphasized the critical importance of education for her children and shared her personal challenges, noting that she had only planned for one child but was now caring for four. Abiodun’s plea was a heartfelt request for additional assistance to help secure her children’s future.

Published

on


Former Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke has filed a motion to amend her lawsuit challenging the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) order for the final forfeiture of her seized assets.

At a Federal High Court hearing in Abuja presided over by Justice Inyang Ekwo, Alison-Madueke’s counsel confirmed filing the amendment motion and serving the EFCC. Notably, no EFCC representatives appeared in court.

The embattled ex-minister also sought an extension of time to contest the EFCC’s public notice regarding the sale of her confiscated properties, claiming she was denied a fair hearing during the forfeiture proceedings.

The EFCC, however, rejected Alison-Madueke’s allegations, maintaining that the forfeiture cases were lawfully adjudicated over time.

Justice Ekwo adjourned the case to February 17, 2025, to consider the motion to amend the originating process.
