$2.4bn crude oil theft: Reps threaten to summon AGF, finance minister, others

The House of Representatives Ad Hoc Committee has threatened to summon the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, and other top government officials over the alleged loss of $2.4 billion from illegal sale of 48 million barrels of crude oil.

Malami and others, including the Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, had failed to appear before the committee chaired by Mark Gbillah on Wednesday.

The officials had been invited to participate in the committee’s probe of inflows from recoveries from whistleblowers and expenditures.
