Barely 24 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari dismissed all the members on the Board of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, a Lagos-based human rights lawyer, Festus Keyamo, has reiterated his call for the erstwhile Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, to be probed.

Keyamo had, on June 17, written a letter to the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives asking the National Assembly to commence investigations into the activities of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, especially with regard to the crude oil swap programme and offshore processing agreements of the company.

He alleged that some NNPC officials, in collaboration with some local companies, were looting the country’s resources.

In an interview with Sahara TV on Saturday, Keyamo said there was an array of issues necessitating investigations into Alison-Madueke’s management of the ministry.

He said, “It is about a whole lot of issues. In my petition, I was particular about what has come to be known as the crude oil swap deals. Under this arrangement, we never knew that a lot of our crude oil was given to private oil companies in exchange for their bringing in petroleum products. Under one arrangement, they were supposed to take it out. We signed (out) the products and then took them back to Nigeria whether they were petroleum products or by-products.

“Under the other arrangement, we were supposed to be given the crude oil to sell at the international market and then use the money to import petroleum products into the country. Now, there have been reports in the papers of late that under these arrangements, certain Nigerian oil and gas companies made very huge, unwarranted profits and the simple reason is that they imported far less than the crude oil that they bought.

“Under this arrangement, some of them bought private jets, property around the world and began to live large. Certain individuals in the NNPC were seen as collaborators in this deceitful and grand plot. Before the minister left office, she picked up her pen and wrote a petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, inviting it to probe these individuals and these groups. And I asked myself some imple questions: It is a bit curious who had supervisory authority over these individuals and these issues.”

According to the legal practitioner, Alison-Madueke had access to all the relevant documents. He explained that she could have easily called for the offenders and given queries to them.

“Why did she wait till the last minute to write a petition to the EFCC to probe these deals? And I told myself: It is not a safe person who runs to a police station to complain that is always the victim of the crime,” Keyamo said.

I don't know why people fear probes....
A probe is not an indictment if your hands are clean......then it shouldn't matter










But then most politician's hands are perpetually buried in grit

Gulping money like water.. na wao

Work don scarce padi man needs the portfolio to stay afloat



Support the call though everyone must be accountable for their deeds on earth and in the afterlife

Yes yes yes

I support the prob I do I honesty but my question is,,
is buhari ready to prob NNPC, I mean all of NNPC not some selected few
Is buhari ready for the consequences of that action
Is buhari ready to go the extra mile and bring those who are involved to book no matter how highly placed they are
Is buhari ready to put his life on the line for that job because believe me energy cabals are the most powerful in the world
If he is ready then I wish him good luck and God protection cos he will need it

This is a wait and watch game. No need to rush. I believe Buhari will definitely do the needful. He is not a man to be scared of consequences. Meanwhile, Mama Ngozi should join the list.

These thieves should never be allowed to go without being punished. Imagine how some power-drunk individuals can just decide to drain a whole Nigeria...

Surely, someone will soon come here and say: leave diezanni alone, leave diezanni alone. What about tinubu, what about amaechi? Probe them first. Surely!

Whoever is found wanting should face the music.
