A court in London has approved the seizure of cash from Nigeria's former oil minister Alison Diezani-Madueke, reports BBC Africa's Sam Piranty.
The amount seized from the former minister is about $41,000 (£27,000), (N7,810,000) following an application brought by the UK's National Crime Agency under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
The court ruled that the money can be held for six months.
