Nigeria: After Diezani, Others' Acquittal, What Next?
Also cleared by the court were her older brother, Doye Agama, 69, an archbishop at a Pentecostal church in Manchester, who was acquitted of conspiracy to commit bribery; and oil industry executive, Olatimbo Ayinde, 54, who was cleared of allegations of bribery of a foreign public official. The verdict was a blow for the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA), which investigated one of Africa's most prominent political figures for 13 years. After leaving office in 2015, Diezani, alongside her family members and associates became the worst victims of former President Muhammadu Buhari's vindictive anti-corruption campaign.
