The House of Representatives says it plans to partner with stakeholders to investigate the alleged loss of over 2.4 billion dollars revenue due to illegal sale of crude oil.
Rep. Mark Gbillah, the Chairman of the House ad hoc committee investigating the matter, said this at the National Assembly Complex Abuja during inaugural meeting of the committee in Abuja.
The lawmaker who assured whistleblowers of utmost confidentiality, said the Investigation was inline with President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption drive.
He said the committee had to be set up now seven years after the incident because it was brought to the fore in 2020 and the House needed background information for a thorough investigation and outcome.
