Ibrahim Magu, the suspended acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has reportedly said that he dispatched N329bn from indebted oil advertisers into the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation accounts, oyogist.com reports.
He made this known after media reports that the presidential board at present examining charges of corruption against him, raised the issue of supposed misappropriation of the NNPC reserves.
Recently, In a statement by his lawyer, Wahab Shittu, Magu noted that the issue of the NNPC reserves were never raised at the board.
He added that the funds were “dispatched legitimately into NNPC devoted accounts by means of REMITTA under a special plan embraced by NNPC, EFCC and the affected NNPC’s indebted marketers.”
But when the Group General Manager Public Affairs Division of the NNPC, Kennie Obateru, was reached the previous night, he said he had no data on Magu’s claim.
