Alleged subsidy fraud: Customs indicts NNPC

FROM the streets and seminar halls, the petrol subsidy battle returned to the House yesterday, with the Customs disclosing that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) does not have documents to back up fuel importation.
According to the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), the Ministry of Finance also aided the “illegality” by coercing Customs to overlook the essential documents to “avert undue hardship on Nigerians”.
Also yesterday, the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, which supervises the NNPC, denied being the approving authority for subsidy deductions.
The Farouk Lawan-led House of Representatives Ad-Hoc committee investigating the management of fuel subsidy heard from Deputy Comptroller-General of Customs Julius Ndubuisi Nwankwo, who represented Comptroller-General Abdullahi Dikko Inde, that most fuel importation did not follow due process.
Nwankwo said no invoices are attached during clearance of fuel, adding that “as we speak, most of the importation of PMS has no documentation”.
He said as a result of the lack of documentation, the NCS is not in a position to give the exact number of vessels imported by the NNPC.
“NNPC does not make any documentation to the Customs. Several meetings were held where the NCS was directed not to ask for documents. The Ministry of Finance wrote to NCS, warning them not to ask for documents because this will cause crisis,” Nwankwo said.
Besides, revealed the officer, NNPC never berthed the mother vessels at Nigerian ports, contrary to the provisions of the extant laws.
Said Nwankwo: “Vessels imported into this country are referred to as mother vessels. These mother vessels never get to the ports in Nigeria. The vessels are normally anchored offshore. If you see the manifest covering these imports, what you will see is ‘offshore Cotonou, offshore Lome’.
“They never get to the ports. Rather, you have smaller vessels that pick these products from the mother vessels and they come to the ports to report to the Customs – in line with the provision of the enabling Act of Customs.
“These mother vessels do not report to Customs. Customs does not board mother vessels; we can only board vessels that are anchored within our territorial waters. The smaller vessels take these products to the ports.”
Nwankwo urged the Committee to look into “the average diversion and compare with the capacity of the mother vessels with the smaller ones that their capacity are known”.
He said NNPC has failed to pay duty on imported Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) worth N45 billion to Customs from 1999 to 2002 when the duty was formally suspended by the Federal Government.
Nwankwo said to ensure transparency, NEITI should conduct forensic audit of all the ships in Nigeria and from exporting countries.
While he berated the corruption in the oil and gas sector, Nwankwo said there was no documentation of PMS imported by NNPC into the country and that only independent oil marketers attempted to document importation.
According to him, the Federal Ministry of Finance had in a letter sent to Customs warned that any insistence on enforcing Customs rules (SEMA) would cause untold hardship and petrol scarcity.
The Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI), corroborating the allegation by the NCS, said the management of the country’s crude oil and importation of petroleum products by the NNPC was deficient in transparency.
NEITI chairman Prof. Assisi Asobie, payments made in respect of fuel subsidy by the NNPC “lack transparency and due process”.
According to him, subsidy payments should be made from the Central Bank through the Petroleum Fund, but that has not been the case with the NNPC.
His words: “This clear due process is not followed by the NNPC. NNPC estimates the subsidy entitlements and deducts the estimated amounts directly from the domestic crude proceeds before remitting the rest to the Federation Account.”
He noted that during the audit of the oil and gas sector for 2006 and 2008, NEITI discovered inadequacies that complicated the problem of accurate determination of volume of imported petroleum products.
Asobie said from 2002, NNPC lifted domestic crude at the market price, providing incentive for export of domestic crude rather than domestic refining of all crude. From 2006 to 2008, the total oil lifted from the country was 8.8 million barrels. NNPC lifted 4.8 million barrels,” Asobie said.
According to him, “the measurement methods used by the PPMC and DPR are not in accordance with best practice. Even then, they are not consistently applied and cannot be relied upon.”
The NEITI chair noted that the systems for recording the movement of refined products through the PPMC pipeline are outdated, paper based and subject to error.
Petroleum Resources Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke told the committee that deductions by the NNPC for subsidy were legal.
She said NNPC’s action was embedded in the 2011 Appropriation Act, page 14, item no. 8 where it is stated that deductions be made on domestic subsidy and joint venture cash calls, adding that section 5 (80) (3) of the 1999 Constitution, as amended, empowers the corporation to deduct from source.
“I need to say clearly that we have done nothing unconstitutional as a ministry, particularly regarding deducting at source. We do not take money from the federally appropriated revenue,” Mrs Alison-Madueke said.
The Minister said N245b was budgeted for two months because it was calculated that deregulation was going to take off, but the budget went up to N1.3tr as the process could not begin as planned.
“It is Ministry of Finance that authorises the payments that are made for subsidy and not the Ministry of Petroleum Resources,” she said.
Mrs Alison-Madueke dismissed the existence of a cabal in the NNPC and stressed that deducting subsidy cash at source by the NNPC was in line with the provisions of the law.
Lawan asked the Minister to name the “cabal” in the oil sector. The Minister replied: “I think I have to say at this time that I’m under oath and it will be most improper to speculate on the existence or not of the purported cabal.
“Let me say for the purpose of records that I think that we cannot afford as a country to criminalise either a certain group in one fell swoop, just as we cannot afford to criminalise the policy of subsidy itself.

[center]ESCAPE FROM DETENTION OF A SUSPECTED BOKO HARAM MEMBER[/center]

A Commissioner of Police is in trouble over the escape from detention of a suspected Boko Haram member, Kabiru Sokoto, who was arrested in connection with the Christmas Day bombing at St. Theresa’s Catholic Church, Madalla, Niger State.
The suspect was arrested last Saturday at the Borno Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja in company of an Air Force officer.
But the Borno State Commissioner for Information, Mr. Inuwa Bwala, yesterday said the escape of the suspect confirmed the state government’s suspicion of a plot to eliminate Governor Kashim Shettima.
The suspect, who was in handcuffs, escaped on Monday from a team of policemen who took him to his home in Abaji, near Abuja for a search.
It was gathered that after the search, the police decided to take the suspect to the traditional ruler of the town (the Ona of Abaji) in a Toyota Hilux Van.
A group of irate youths allegedly waylaid the police team. In the process, the suspect escaped.
But the police authorities were shocked that a Boko Haram suspect could escape while in company of about 10 armed policemen.
Based on preliminary investigations, Inspector-General of Police Hafiz Ringim ordered the suspension of a Commissioner of Police.
The Police confirmed the escape of the suspect in a statement by its spokesman Olusola Amore yesterday. The police said: “The suspect was handed over to a commissioner of Police for further investigation and he consequently detailed his men to take the suspect to Abaji in furtherance of investigation.
“In the course of undertaking this important procedure, the policemen on escort with the suspect were attacked by the suspected sect gang members and in the process the suspect freed.”
”The police view this development as a serious negligence on the part of the commissioner of Police and have since been queried and suspended from duty. If a criminal case is established against him and his team, they will be prosecuted.”
Another Boko Haram suspect, Aliyu Tishau, was similarly freed in 2011 from the custody of the police, who maintained that Tishau was released to a sister security agency for further investigation. Tishau has not been re-arrested till date.
Bwala said: “The intrigues and drama of the reported escape of the alleged Boko Haram suspect arrested at the Borno Governor’s Lodge in Abuja from the police does not only sound fairy tale, it justifies our suspicion to the effect that there may be a grand conspiracy intended to either embarrass the Governor and Government of Borno State or to eliminate Governor Shettima.
“Suffice it to raise some posers, the answers to which may give a clue into the seeming mystery: If the man escaped while under escort, how can a man possibly in handcuffs outrun more than a platoon of armed policemen?
“Could the alleged sympathisers of Boko Haram, which Mr. President said have infiltrated the security agencies, facilitated the escape? Could the arrest and escape stories not be a phantom arrangement after all? From which point did the police radar pick the said suspect in Zuba? Why was the whole drama headed for the Borno Governor’s lodge in particular?
“Let me state, for the avoidance of doubts, that nobody or group, no matter their positions can intimidate Governor Shettima or rope him or any official of the Borno State Government for that matter into any phantom plot.
“We are aware that certain people have been plotting to rubbish the development efforts of Governor Shettima.”
