The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested an NNPCL ex-chief financial officer, Umar Isa, over an alleged $7.2 billion fraud linked with the rehabilitation of the Kaduna, Warri, and Port Harcourt refineries.
The anti-graft agency also apprehended one Jimoh Olasunkanmi, a former managing director of Warri Refinery.
It will be recalled that Isa, as CFO, spearheaded the release of funds for the turnaround maintenance of the three refineries.
DAILY POST gathered that he and all the key officials involved in the maintenance of the refineries and other NNPC key projects are being investigated for alleged abuse of office, corruption, diversion of funds, and kickbacks from contractors.
Other officials involved are the managing director of the Warri Refinery, Tunde Bakare; a former managing director of the Port Harcourt Refinery, Ahmed Dikko; and a former managing director of the Port Harcourt Refinery, Ibrahim Onoja.
At the time of filing this report, EFCC’s spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, could not be reached for his comments.
