The PUNCH reports that the Dangote Group on Thursday, accused the NUPRC of failing to enforce the Domestic Crude Supply Obligations.

Reacting, the NUPRC debunked the claim on Friday, stating that it facilitated the supply of over 29 million barrels of crude oil to Dangote Refinery from January to June 2024.

However, in a swift response, the Dangote Refinery said it did not receive any 29mb of crude.

The NUPRC on Friday, explained that as part of its commitment to ensure the enforcement of Section 109 of the Petroleum Industry Act, 2021, nine refineries have benefitted from the 32,088,122 barrels of crude as Dangote alone enjoyed 29,047,098 barrels out of the total supply between January to June 2024,” NUPRC added.

Meanwhile, the management of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery maintained that refineries in Nigeria should be allowed to buy crude directly from the companies that produce it in Nigeria rather than from international middlemen, as enshrined in the PIA.

Spokesperson for the Dangote Group, Anthony Chiejina, said Friday night, “We are in receipt of NUPRC’s statement that they have facilitated the allocation of 29 million barrels of crude oil to the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals in January to June 2024, we would like to thank them for this allocation but at the same time, we wish to let them know that we are yet to receive these cargoes. . All the refinery is asking for is for refineries in Nigeria to buy crude directly from the companies that produce it in Nigeria rather than from international middlemen.

The PUNCH recalls that the management of the Dangote Group had alleged that the IOCs were still frustrating crude supply to the 650,000-capacity refinery.

The group alleged that the IOCs insisted on selling crude oil to its refinery through their foreign agents, saying the local price of crude will continue to increase because the trading arms offer cargoes at $2 to $4 per barrel, above NUPRC’s official price. They also alleged that the foreign oil producers seem to be prioritising Asian countries in selling the crude they produce in Nigeria.

Earlier, the President of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, denied the monopoly allegation, wondering how he could be a monopoly when the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited is renovating government-owned refineries with $4bn.

Festacman should come over and tribalise this as usual

To them, the Govt is suddenly doing everything within their power to sabotage the same firm they are suppling to

A lil issue between those two groups and all they could see is "If they could frustrate a business owner from a major tribe, then minority investors have no hope"

Dare Lawal a 35-year-old man from Ogun State, is married with two children and a vulcanizer/motorcycle rider. On the 2nd day of May 2024, Dare was on his way to his friend's house along Eleweran in Abeokuta to carry his motorcycle when he was raided by some policemen and taken to the police station.

At the station, Dare was asked series of questions if he knew any person called “Mighty”, if he had ever carried such a person as a passenger, and if he was a member of any cult group which he responded in the negative. The police searched Dare thoroughly but nothing incriminating was found on him.

Even though nothing was found on Dare and he could not be linked to any crime, he was charged and arraigned in court on the 13th day of May 2024 after 10days in police custody. He was charged with 2 other persons that he has never met before for conspiracy to commit crime, for belonging to an unlawful society and for breach of peace.

He was granted bail in the sum of 500,000 and a surety who must be a licensed bondsman. However, his bail could not be perfected due to financial constraints and all efforts to get his family proved abortive as his phone had been confiscated by the police.

On the 5th day of July 2024, our lawyer took on the case and made an application to the court that the matter be struck out as there was no evidence linking Dare to the offence and the court after perusing the statement of the defendant struck out the charges against Dare after he spent about 2months in prison for no just cause.

Dare was arrested and detained without incriminating evidence, violating his right to liberty and freedom from arbitrary arrest. The arrest and detention of Dare without evidence raise questions about the police's conduct and potential abuse of power, which could lead to wrongful convictions of innocent citizens of Nigeria. The Nigeria Police Force must ensure that prosecutions are based on credible evidence, not speculation.

Another eyewitness also lamanted the same thing and cried out to the state government for help.


According to him,"today at Ebonyi state International Market, while I was going from Lot 2 to lot 4 toward that axis that they sales yam, I saw a crowd of people."

"Some were chanting " mesieya ike mesieya ike" in excitement. I decided to go close to the crowd to know what's was actually going on."

" I saw a very beautiful fair tall lady with mini-skirt putting on a singlet with her nîpple boldly opened. Immediately my eyes just grasped it and I couldnt behold it. "

" She was on the floor crying. I imagined what could make a beautiful lady like her to be wéeping. I was patiently waiting only to see a màdman trying to penetrate the lady in a public. "

"She was helpless as the crowd was cheering the màdman. Her white singlet has stained already as the man tried to squeeze her bréàst. I couldn't help but to walk away."

It's a way of gathering intelligence and intel. Like they say draw your friends close but your enemies closer.

The Lagos State government may have officially disowned @Lagospedia the social media account that infamously propagated hate speech against the Igbo and called for them to be expelled from the southwest. However, many of its appointees followed the handle — sometimes even retweeting it — until it became extinct, following extended focus on its violations of the constitutional right to freedom of where to live.

On Friday, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu distanced his administration from Lagospedia’s hate comments, Gboyega Akosile, his special adviser on media and publicity, signing a statement that branded the handle’s comments as “reckless, divisive and a dangerous rhetoric”.

However, Àkọsílẹ̀, himself was a follower of Lagospedia. In fact, he was still following the handle as he posted the state government’s statement on Friday.

Jubril Gawat, Sanwo-Olu’s senior special assistant on new media; Wale Ajetunmobi, senior special assistant on media; and Alabi Opeyemi Oladimeji, senior special assistant on youth mobilisation to Sanwo-Olu, were all following Lagospedia on X before it was deactivated.

FIJ also recalls that Akosile and Ajetunmobi engaged the handle positively in the past.

After FIJ’s viral report about Lagospedia’s notoriety for publishing hate comments against the Igbo and asking them to be pushed out of the southwest, the handler altered the page from ‘Lagospedia’ to ‘Lagospidia’.

Another user then picked up the @Lagospedia handle as soon as the original @Lagospedia switched to @Lagospidia.

But, finally, @Lagospidia, the original @Lagospedia, was deactivated on X on Saturday.

Similalrly, Dada Olusegun, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Assistant on Social Media, had been following Lagospedia before it was outed.

In Friday’s statement, Sanwo-Olu claimed his attention had been drawn to Lagospedia’s July 27 post on August 2. He then called on the security agencies to promptly investigate those behind the handle.

This only came after Sam Amadi, a former chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), petitioned Kayode Egbetokun, the Inspector-General of Police, asking for everyone connected to the handle to be investigated and prosecuted on July 31.

Lagospedia’s final call against Igbos violates Section 41, Subsection 1 of the Nigerian Constitution, which states: Every citizen of Nigeria is entitled to move freely throughout Nigeria and to reside in any part thereof, and no citizen of Nigeria shall be expelled from Nigeria or refused entry thereby or exit therefrom.

Philipponzaghi:
Tinubu is navigating a complex landscape. His intentions to address youth concerns may not be perfect, but let's give him a chance to turn words into action. Every leader faces hurdles; let's support progress where we can!

This one na classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.

They were the same people shouting and dancing when they thought the grass was greener on the other side. Now, hardship don catch them, they want to shift blame. APC is trying, but some people just like to complain for the sake of it.

Meanwhile, we dey push forward with our Jagaban, no retreat, no surrender!
