BREAKING: Dangote petitions ICPC against MD of the NMDPRA, Ahmed Farouk
BREAKING: Dangote submits petition against the Managing Director of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), Ahmed Farouk, to the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), accusing him of corruption and financial impropriety.
In the petition submitted through his lawyer, Ogwu Onoja (SAN), Dangote demanded the arrest, investigation, and prosecution of Ahmed Farouk for allegedly living above his means as a public servant.
Dangote specifically accused the NMDPRA boss of spending without evidence of lawful means of income amounting to over $7 million for the education of his four children in different schools in Switzerland for a period of six years upfront.
Dangote also claimed that the NMDPRA boss throughout his lifetime as an adult worked in the public sector in Nigeria and that the totality of his earnings over the years was nothing close to $7 million.
He alleged that Ahmed was using the instrumentality of the NMDPRA to embezzle and divert public funds for self gains and pursuit of private interest to the detriment of the Nigerian people which orchestrated uproar and protest by different groups recently.
He also vowed to be on ground to proffer evidence in proof of his allegations of corrupt enrichment, abuse of office, against Ahmed.
