EFCC takes corruption fight to petroleum depots

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Friday said it had a strategy in place to check fraudulent activities in the country’s petroleum product depots.

Its Acting Chairman, Mr Ibrahim Magu, disclosed this when the Managing Director of the Nigerian Products Marketing Company (NPMC), Umar Adiya, paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja.

A statement by the commission’s Head of Media and Publicity, Mr Wilson Uwujaren, disclosed that Magu was responding to a request by Adiya for assistance in sanitising the sector.

NPMC, formerly Pipelines and Products Marketing Company (PPMC), is a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

“I assure you that we have intelligence on the activities in the depots and we will soon sanitise it.

“We have a strategy to check the fraudulent activities in the depots. We will partner with you to put your house in order,” Magu said. (NAN)
