It has been reported that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has commenced a full investigation into the activities of the immediate past Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation…
Reports have it that the EFCC constituted a four-member committee of crack detectives, to be led by a Superintendent of Police, who was seconded to the commission to probe all the NNPC accounts which were supervised by the former minister.
Investigations revealed that the other three members of the committee were pioneer civilian operatives of the commission with high capacity for investigation.
It was learnt that ongoing probe of the immediate-past administration by President Muhammadu Buhari was to beam its searchlight on the alleged purchase of three mobile stages, costing $6.9m, by former President Goodluck Jonathan and two of his officials.
The $6.9m (about N1.37bn) was said to have been withdrawn for the purpose of buying three pieces of 40-feet mobile stages for use by Jonathan during the campaign.
According to Punch, the committee set up by the EFCC had since commenced probing the NNPC accounts and activities of the former minister and a top operative of the EFCC, who confided in PUNCH, said:
“I think the commission has commenced investigation into this Diezani issue. It is not just about inviting her, the commission has set up a four-man team of crack detectives to investigate her operations in the NNPC.What do you think???
“The terms of reference of the committee include to look into all the NNPC accounts which were under the supervision of Mrs. Alison-Madueke.
“The committee has since commenced work; they are still working. I think a very senior police officer, a Police Superintendent, is leading the other operatives in the probe of Diezani and multiple accounts of the NNPC.”
