Former Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, on Wednesday visited the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja.
Kyari arrived at the commission’s office around 2:15 p.m. following an invitation to clarify financial and technical issues related to his tenure.
The EFCC had earlier placed him on its watch list in connection with an ongoing investigation into the $7.2 billion refineries’ turnaround maintenance project.
In a related development, the Federal High Court in Abuja ordered a temporary freeze on four bank accounts linked to Kyari over allegations of fraud.
