The former Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, on Wednesday appeared at the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja.
Kyari, who had previously been placed on the agency’s watchlist, arrived at the commission around 2:30 p.m. for questioning.
Daily Trust reported from sources within the EFCC that the former NNPCL boss is being interrogated over the management of funds allocated for the maintenance of Nigeria’s refineries during his tenure.
“Yes, he is in our office. He will face interrogation by our team of crack investigators,” a senior official of the commission confirmed.
It will be recalled that a Federal High Court in Abuja recently ordered the freezing of all bank accounts linked to Kyari at the request of the EFCC.
