Coalition Calls for Oil Sector Corruption Probe Amid Price Hike
The Coalition for Energy Reforms and Good Governance Advocacy has urged the Federal Government to investigate alleged corruption in the oil sector.
This call came during a press conference in Abuja on Friday, following the recent increase in petrol prices by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL). The coalition’s convener, Yakubu Dauda, criticized NNPCL’s leadership under Mele Kyari for failing to fulfill promises to improve the petroleum sector, particularly in reviving local refineries.
Dauda emphasized the need for a thorough audit of NNPCL’s operations, particularly concerning corruption allegations and unjustified price hikes for petrol. He called for accountability for those responsible for inflating fuel prices and undermining local refineries, regardless of their status. Additionally, he urged the government to invest in local refineries and reduce reliance on imported fuel, asserting that Nigeria has the resources and expertise to become a net exporter of petroleum products if it can eliminate corruption in the industry.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
