Meanwhile, a significant part of the Nigerian public considers her assertion to be untrue.

When Momodu was contacted he said he did not know who Oscar Onwudiwe was, noting that he therefore could not have sought authorization from the lawyer.

He added: “I do not want to be drawn into this controversy.”

Nigeria's former petroleum minister, who was arrested in London on suspicion of bribery and money laundering earlier in October, recently asked Nigerians to pray for her in support of her alleged fight against cancer.
