The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Atlantic
Energy Chairman, Olajide Omokore, on allegations of corruption and money
laundering.
This comes days after British police detained former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke.
“He is being interrogated,” a security official, who did not want to be identified, told Reuters. He gave no further details.
Atlantic
Energy was one of two firms that signed so-called Strategic Alliance
Agreements with NNPC’s upstream arm, NPDC, in May 2011 to manage oil
blocks sold by oil major, Royal Dutch Shell.
