50 NNPC Workers Linked to N15bn Fraud, Former Boss on the Run Over $1.6bn Deal

At least 50 members of staff of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) are presently being investigated for their alleged roles in a multi-billion naira retail fraud, according to a source familiar with the probe of the NNPC workers.

NNPC drops 44m litres of PMS.
The 50 NNPC workers allegedly colluded to defraud NNPC retail outlets of the sum of N15 billion which has resulted in an internal probe.

According to The Nation newspaper, the NNPC management is presently seeking legal advice on whether it should hand over the 50 workers to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Concerning the 50 NNPC workers, a source said:


“The N15billion Fraud Was Committed In NNPC Retail Outlets Nationwide And About 50 Staff Have Been Implicated So Far. 
“Going By The NNPC Act, We Have To Exhaust Internal Mechanism Of Investigating The N15billion Fraud Before Inviting EFCC Or Any Anti-Graft Agency. 
“Since We Have Our Checks And Audit Control Unit, We Must Have Gone Far In Our Auditing Process In Order To Be Able To Hand Over Our Findings To EFCC. All Those Involved Are Presently Going Through Internal Investigative Procedures. We Have Even Recalled Two Former Managing Directors Of The Retail Services Unit Who Have Retired.”
It was equally gathered that while the fate of the 50 NNPC workers is being deliberated upon, the EFCC has contacted the oil company for assistance in locating a yet to be named former group managing director (GMD) of the corporation.

The former NNPC boss is said to be linked to an ongoing probe of $1.6 billion illegal oil deals allegedly traced to former petroleum resources minister, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke.

The NNPC in its response to the EFCC however stated that it could not ascertain the present location of the former GMD and that he could possibly have left the country.

One source said:
“We Are Hopeful That The Ex-GMD Will Be Honourable Enough To Make Himself Available For Interaction With Our Team Of Investigators. 
“Alternatively, We Will Look For Him Wherever He Is.”

Slavery: See How White Slave Traders Dehumanised Naked Black Slave Women

Image
Sexual assault of black female folks was paramount during the slave trade era as perpetrated by white people who degraded their Africans to assets rather than human beings.  Sexual assaults of female black slaves by white male plantation owners, their sons, brothers and other male acquaintances were heartlessly perpetrated unhindered in the 15th and 19th centuries before its abolition. Black women were technically degraded to objects for hard work and pleasure with no real value attached to their feelings. History recorded that black women were raped and dehumanized without fear of punishment. The reasons of their white owners couldn't be justified as they smelt of share hatred and xenophobia for their skin colour. Black men were also sexually abused by slaveholders, and sometimes, their wives were not spared from the ill-treatment as they worked tirelessly on farmlands with stipends that amounted to virtually nothing. The slave trade refers to the transatlantic tradi...
