The Attorney
General of the Federation, ABUBAKAR MALAMI has asked President MUHAMMADU BUHARI
to stop the Malabu oil scam trial involving a former AGF,
MOHAMMED BELLO ADOKE
and a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, DIEZANI ALISON-MADUEKE.
In a letter
written on September 27, 2017, AGF MALAMI says following the due examination of
the case files, he was able to determine that the EFCC has no significant
evidence to prove its allegations of shale practices against the principal
players and other in the controversial Malabu oil deal OPL 245 oil bloc which
was approved for sale by GOODLUCK JONATHAN’s administration in a sales and
purchase deal involving Shell, AGIP, ENI and Malabu oil and gas Ltd.
The EFCC has
been investigating fraud and criminal conspiracy charges against ADOKE, ETETE
and their alleged accomplices since 2016 on the case.
ADOKE, ETETE
and ALISON-MADUEKE including other officials named in the scandal denied wrong
doings.
ADOKE
maintains that the sale of OPL 245 was approved to save Nigeria from huge
financial losses that could arise from international arbitration law suits.
