… while the Nigerians send letters to the Ministry of the Interior in the United Kingdom, High Commission

Abuja (Core reporter) hundreds of Nigerians have stormed the high Nigerian commission and the United Kingdom of the Ministry of the Interior in London on Monday 12 May 2025, asking that the former boss Nnpcl Mele Kyari was deported to Nigeria to face the investigation into corruption.

The demonstrators, under the banner of the rescue of Nigeria now, gathered outside the high Nigerian commission and the United Kingdom Home Office, presenting formal petitions to both institutions.

The demonstrators brought signs with bold inscriptions such as “withdrawing the residence of Mele Kyari now!”, “Mele Kyari go home and faces Efcc now!”, And “London is not for public officials who have abused public trust”.

They accused Kyari of fleeing Nigeria to evade the responsibility for alleged misconduct financial conduct during his mandate in Nnpcl from 2019 to 2025.

In a letter addressed to the High Commissioner Nigerian in the United Kingdom, the group said: “We are deeply disillusioned and upset by the furry with which Mr. Kyari walked on the street of London with religiosity tables and commission for financial crimes (EFCC) (EFCC) and Evidections by the Evicese, and the evidence of the Commission for the financial crimes (EFCC) (EFCC) alleged corrupt financial relations and infringement that were connected to his mandate that lasted from 2019 to 2025. “

“We see this as an affront to the Nigerian people and an insult to the esteemed cross anti -corruption of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which an individual of this notoriety whose sent to Nnpcl has been failed by unprecedented corruption and international embarrassment should not be authorized to falter on the British soil without facing the consequences of his actions.

“Your excellence, this letter is not simply a petition – is a request: a moral, civic and nationalistic question. Therefore, we have requested at the strongest time that the high commission Nigeria accusations that follow its mandate.”

The petition detailed several accusations against Kyari, including the undue appropriation of funds intended for rehabilitation of the refinery.

“It is recorded to date that billions of dollars that have been apparently foreseen for the rehabilitation of the decrepit refineries of Nigeria in Warri, Kaduna and Port Harcourt the justification of the gigantic expenses instead made.

“At the moment, the forensic opacity that surrounded these rehabilitation contracts that collectively impoverished the nation and have eroded public trust in governance was a point of convergence and sensitivity to several anti -corruption guard dogs and international observers who described the NNPCL under Kyari as an impenetrable black box.

In addition, it was stated that Mele Kyari was managing a Racketeers union who benefited from the massif of the import operations of the fuel at the expense of the wealth of the nation.

“Under the guidance of Kyari, the controversial subsidy regime for the fuel mysteriously enveloped of confusion, chronic capitalism and inexplicable contradictions. The payments of opaque subsidies of over trillion of Naira were due to the pretext of accused cushions. The audits were ignored and more harmful to this theatrical is that the normal Nigerians have continued to Of the effects of the prices of floating pumps, of the artificial scarcity created by its unconsciousness and by the persistent fuel queues at national level that hit the country – a phenomenon that has become emblematic of government failure.

“The removal of subsidies, although a visionary idea of ​​President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has nevertheless became an ideological deception tool, not a political relief pursuant to Kyari’s clock. The EFCC has received testimonies and documents that support a fraudulent invoice, affirmations of subsidies and clandestines.”

Contacting the Ministry of the Interior in the United Kingdom, the rescue of Nigeria has now underlined the international implications of hosting individuals accused of corruption.

The letters also said that Kyari transferred illegal funds to the bank accounts of the United Kingdom.

“We are aware that Mr. Kyari is currently residing in the United Kingdom, a development that has carefully orchestrated to escape justice in front of Nigeria for numerous acts of corruption and shady relationships that took place during his mandate,” added the letter.

“We have reason to believe that for Mr. Kyari he fled to the United Kingdom, he transferred parts of the proceeds of his crimes to bank accounts in London, which would be a violation of antimonym legislation in your country”.

The coalition invited the United Kingdom authorities to act in accordance with international anti -corruption agreements.

“The United Kingdom and Nigeria have established mutual treaties and agreements to reduce their citizens from intentionally committing themselves in corruption and other criminal activities. This relationship aims to ensure that justice is served and that the fugitive criminals do not find safe paradises in foreign countries.

“Considering the extensive evidence of corruption and the serious impact on Nigeria, we ask that the Ministry of the Interior will expel Mr. Mele Kyari so that he can return to Nigeria. It is essential that he faces justice for his actions and that the stolen funds are recovered to help in the second half and development of the nation.”

The protest and petitions underline the growing demand among the Nigerians, both at home and abroad, for transparency and responsibility in the public service.

While the EFCC continues its investigations on the alleged misconduct conducted during Kyari’s mandate, the response of the international community remains to be seen.
