The arrest of Diezani Alison-Madueke in London
today may just be the tip of a well-coordinated
international operation to nab all those
suspected to have stolen Nigeria’s oil money under the
watch of President Goodluck Jonathan.
Jide Omokore
Just after the arrest of Diezani in London by the UK
National Crime Agency, EFCC operatives also stormed
her home in Abuja, simultaneously as they also
stormed the home of Jide Omokore, one of her visible
business allies while oil minister.
Omokore owns SPOG and Atlantic Energy. He was
said to be involved in multi-billion dollar oil deals,
including kerosene scam that dented Nigeria’s treasury
by over $6billion. He was famous for throwing a lavish
wedding for his son in Dubai, for ‘a chicken change’ of
several millions of dollars.
According to sources, Omokore’s 9 Turnbull Street
home in Ikoyi was raided today by EFCC operatives.
His office on Glover Street, also in Ikoyi was also
under lockdown by EFCC officials.
One source even said, Omokore’s wife locked herself
inside one of the rooms at Turnbull, hiding from the
operatives.
Diezani, 55, was Nigeria’s first female oil minister and
was believed to have exercised too much power in
violation of the limits of her office.
Under her watch, Nigeria failed to benefit from the oil
boom years, when a barrel was going for over $120,
before the bust of 2014, when prices crashed.
Nigeria’s former governor of Central bank, Sanusi
Lamido Sanusi, cried out about an unremitted $20
billion into the treasury, but all he got for his whistle-
blowing were abuses and the termination of his
appointment, few months to the end of his tenure.
Lamido is now the powerful Emir Muhammed Sanusi
of the biggest northern Nigerian city of Kano.
Part of the anomalies Sanusi pointed out before he
was sacked by Jonathan was confirmed by the PWC
auditors when they looked into NNPC books and
unearthed a 2011 Strategic Partnership Agreements,
involving Omokore’s Atlantic Energy and kola Aluko’s
Seven Energy.
In 2011, as part of the efforts to promote local
content, Shell sold its shares in 5 oil fields where
NNPC was the majority shareholder. Shell had been
the operator of these oil wells but NNPC awarded the
operator rights to its subsidiary NPDC , that is, it
allowed Shell to sell its shares but not the rights to
operate them as it previously did.
NPDC then signed an ‘agreement’ worth almost $7bn
with Seven Energy(Kola Aluko) (3 fields) and Atlantic
Energy(Jide Omokore) (2 fields) for them to operate
the fields. These companies of course had no clue
how to operate the oil fields – Atlantic was registered
as a company the day before it signed the agreement
– so of course they sub-contracted the work to other
companies. Seven Energy’s contract entitled it to 10%
of the profits from the 3 fields while Atlantic was
entitled to 30% of profits in its 2 fields
