But the details of what transpired were unknown as at press time.
Two former ministers however said they were indifferent to Alison-Madueke’s plight.
One of them said: “I think many of us won’t be surprised because even at FEC we saw it coming.
“Some of our colleagues, virtually hero-worshipped her even though we were supposed to be equal in the cabinet.”
As at last night, the NCA was not forthcoming on its website whether Alison-Madueke and four others will be arraigned in court today.
The agency only said the suspects were released on bail “pending further investigation”.
It said: “On Friday 2nd October, the National Crime Agency’s recently formed International Corruption Unit arrested five people across London as part of an investigation into suspected bribery and money laundering offences.
“All five people arrested were released on conditional police bail later that evening, pending further investigation both in the UK and overseas.”
The investigation began in 2013 under the Proceeds of Corruption Unit, and transferred to the NCA earlier this year.”
The ICU was established to “ trace and recover the proceeds of international corruption”.
NCA said: “The International Corruption Unit (ICU) investigates: Bribery of foreign public officials by individuals or companies from the UK; and Money laundering by corrupt foreign officials and their associates.
