LONDON, Aug 22 (Reuters) - British police said on Tuesday they had charged former Nigerian oil minister Diezani Alison-Madueke with bribery offences, saying they suspected she had accepted bribes in return for awarding multi-million-pound oil and gas contracts.

Alison-Madueke, 63, was a key figure in the istration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, serving as petroleum minister from 2010 to 2015. She also acted as president of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

"We suspect Diezani Alison-Madueke abused her power in Nigeria and accepted financial rewards for awarding multi-million-pound contracts," said Andy Kelly, Head of the National Crime Agency's (NCA) International Corruption Unit.

"These charges are a milestone in what has been a thorough and complex international investigation."

The NCA said Alison-Madueke was accused of benefitting from at least 100,000 pounds in cash, chauffeur driven cars, flights on private jets, luxury holidays for her family, and the use of multiple London properties.

Charges against her also detail financial rewards including furniture, renovation work and staff for the properties, payment of private school fees, and gifts from high-end designer shops such as Cartier jewellery and Louis Vuitton goods, the NCA said.

Since she left office she has been dogged by corruption allegations but denies the charges.

British police said she was currently living in St John’s Wood, an upmarket area of west London, and would appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on October 2.

Head wey go chop knock, even if hin run enter london, hin go still chop knock. She ran away from the country, claiming she had cancer, now that she has recovered, they are going to pick her up. She was taking pictures with Ben Bruce at her son's graduation in the UK, she'd now be taking pictures with Ekweremadu in prison.

There is nothing classy and elegant about a Jezebel maximum looter, and greedy, stupid whor.e.

Her greed is her greatest undoing. If she had been modest in her corruption, she would be free today, but no. She wanted to steal EVERYTHING. Billions of dollars. So she could look down on those around her in her typical arrogant manner.

Useless, stupid who.re.

That is the idea. The British are thieves. They just bid their time to allow her feel comfortable and move enough assets to the UK before they went after her.

All those funds she stole will be forfeited to the UK government. They will rather not extradite her because it will make it impossible to steal all the money she kept there.
