Some Chinese citizens deported for
illegal textile dealings The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC), on Wednesday docked 14 foreign nationals
before a Federal High Court, Lagos, over alleged
illegal dealing in petroleum products.
The accused included three Russians — Arthur
Pakhladzhian, Vasaliy Shkundich and Kretov Andrey;
one Japanese, Sergio Abgarian; three Ukrainians —
Vitalis Biluos, Laguta Olesksiy and Chepikov Oleksan.
Others are seven Britons — Hilarion Teofilo Regipor,
Cadavis Gerardo, Baduria Benjamin, Naranjo Allian
Antero, Patro Christian, Alcayde Joel, Carantiquit
Micheal Bryan — and three vessels- MT Anukt
Emerald, Monjasa DMCC, and Glencore Energy UK
Ltd.
The accused are standing trial on a four-count
charge of conspiracy, unlawful dealing and storage
of petroleum products without lawful authority.
According to the charge, the accused committed the
offences on Feb. 27 within the jurisdiction of the
court.
It alleged that they stored 1,500 tonnes of automated
gas oil inside the MT Anuket Emerald’s Cargo tank.
The charge also alleged that they stored 3,035
tonnes of Low Pour Fuel Oil (LPFO) in other tanks.
The agency said that offences contravened Sections
4, 17, 19 (6) of the Miscellaneous Offences Act and
the Petroleum Act, Laws of Federation.
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charges when
they were read to them in the dock.
Consequently, the Prosecutor, Mr Rotimi Oyedepo,
urged the court to remand them in prison custody
pending their trial.
However, Mr Babajide Koku, the Defence counsel, in
an oral application for bail, urged the court to admit
his clients to bail on self-recognition.
Koku also told the court that in a situation where the
accused could not produce the sureties, he
(accused) had promised to provide bank guarantee
of N750 million.
Oyedepo, opposed the application on grounds that
the authority which was cited by the counsel did not
apply to the case at hand, because the accused were
not Nigerians.
He, therefore, urged the court to impose stringent
bail conditions on them.
The presiding judge, Justice Ibrahim Buba, admitted
the accused to bail in the sum of N50 million with
one surety each in like sum.
Buba added that the accused should deposit their
international passports with the EFCC and be
remanded in prison custody until the perfection of
their bail conditions.
The case was adjourned till June 17, 18 and 19 for
trial.

Never knew EFCC still existed, thank God for the wind of CHANGE that got them back to their feet. In just this few days Efcc had been more active than they were in the past 6 years.
