Mohammed Bello Adoke, Nigeria’s former justice minister and attorney-general, has returned to home from Dubai to face corruption charges relating to the sale of a Nigerian offshore oil field worth about £1bn in 2011.
Nigeria’s anti-corruption body, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), says the return of Mr Adoke on Thursday afternoon followed a series of discussions between Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates.
On landing at the airport Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, Mr Adoke was taken into custody by the EFCC.
