The former CEO of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) group, Malam Mele Kyari, is currently grilled by the Commission for Economic and Financial Crimes (EFCC) for alleged multi-miles of dollars on the maintenance of the refinery.
Kyari, who had previously been put on the control list of the anti-Innesto agency, arrived at the Feccc headquarters in Abuja around 2:30 pm on Wednesday.
Many sources within the Commission have confirmed that the former boss NNPCL was questioned on how the funds that came across billions of Naira, intended for the maintenance of reversal of the refineries dying of Nigeria, were managed during his mandate.
“Yes, it is here. It was introduced to face the interrogation by a team of crack detective,” said a high FACC officer at Platform Times on condition of anonymity.
Kyari, who led the petroleum company of state property until July, was scrutiny for the accusations that billions of dollars intended to revive the refineries of Kaduna, Warri and Port Harcourt were or diverted bad or deflected.
Despite the repeated insurance of the completion deadlines, the refineries remained in a coma, forcing Nigeria to depend heavily on imported oil products.
We remind you that a high federal court in Abuja had, at the beginning of this year, ordered the freezing of all the bank accounts linked to Kyari following an EFCC application that alleged suspicions of financial flows have traced to him and associated companies.
The development marks one of the high -profile cases against a former NNPCL manager from the company’s transition to a limited liability company.
At the time of the press, the FCC officials would not have yet issued an official declaration on the fact that Kyari would have been held during the night or granted the administrative deposit after the interrogation.
