The Senator representing the Edo North Senatorial District, Adams Oshiomhole, has called for the hanging of the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), Farouk Ahmed.
Oshiomhole was captured in a video during the screening of the new NMDPRA nominee, Saidu Aliyu Mohammed, lamenting the wrath in the oil industry. Recall that President Tinubu summoned Ahmed to the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Wednesday, following allegations of economic sabotage and corruption.
Earlier, Chairman of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, accused Ahmed of being involved in multimillion-dollar corruption.
Speaking at a press conference at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery on Sunday, he accused the leadership of the NMDPRA of colluding with international traders and oil importers to frustrate local refining through the continued issuance of import licences for petroleum products.
Dangote claimed that Ahmed was living beyond his legitimate means, adding that four of his children attend secondary schools in Switzerland at costs running into several million of dollars.
