Crude Oil Racketeering: ICPC Gets 7- Year Conviction Of Fraudsters

Mohammed Shosanya

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has secured a seven year conviction of two fraudsters, Aso Adasa Morrison and Frank Biobarakuma.

Mrs. Azuka Ogugua, spokesperson of the ICPC in a statement on Thursday said, the suspects were first arraigned sometime in March 2013 before Hon. Justice B. A. Georgewill of Rivers State High Court 16 on a 17-count charge bordering on conspiracy, forgery and obtaining by false pretence.

She said the court was informed of how the convicts and others at large between the month of March 2012 and February 2013 in Port Harcourt, fraudulently obtained the sum of $260,000 and $402,300 from one Mr. Jung Yongmin, a South Korean, under the pretext of selling Nigerian crude oil to him.

Their actions were contrary to Sections 1 and 8 of the Advanced Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act, 2004 and Section 467 of the Criminal Code Act, 2004,she quoted in the statement.

She also disclosed that the convicts had earlier entered a “not guilty” plea when the charges were brought before them and that set the tune for a long legal battle.

She added:”However, it was only recently that the trial judge, Justice S. C. Amadi, Chief Judge of Rivers State (who inherited the case after the elevation of Justice Georgewill to the Court of Appeal) found the Convicts guilty on all 17 counts.

“In their allocutus to the court, defence counsel pleaded that the convicts were first-time offenders who have children to cater for and that the court should consider a non-custodial sentencing which was not granted.

“Handing down judgment, Justice Amadi sentenced the duo to 3 years in prison for counts 1-4, 7 years in prison for counts 5 & 6, 3 years in prison for count 7-17 without any option of fine.”

The sentences are to run concurrently.

The court further advised that the South Korean Embassy (the petitioners) be informed of the judgment which is a consequence of their petition to ICPC.

A report obtained by Premium News says the 435 MW power plant in the Dangote Petroleum Refinery will be able to meet the total power requirement of Ibadan DisCo of 860,316 MWh covering five states in Nigeria, including Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Kwara and Ekiti.

Nigeria will rake in $21billion per annum from the project,which can also meet 100% of the Nigerian requirement of all refined products (Gasoline, 53 million litres per day; Diesel, 34 litres per day; Kerosene, 10 million litres per day and Aviation Jet, 2 million litres per day) and also have surplus of each of these products for export,the report also said.

It was designed for 100% Nigerian Crude with flexibility to process other crude,has self-sufficient marine facility with ability for freight optimization. It also has the largest single order of 5 SPMs anywhere in the world.

The report said diesel and gasoline products from the refinery will conform to Euro V specifications,just as it said the refinery design complies to World Bank, US EPA, European emission norms and Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) emission / effluent norms.

The report said the facility was designed to process large variety of crudes including many of the African Crudes, some of the Middle Eastern Crudes and the US Light Tight Oil.

Dangote Petroleum Refinery can meet 100% of the Nigerian requirement of all liquid products (Gasoline, Diesel, Kerosene & Aviation Jet) and also would have surplus of each of these products for export.

It said 65 mllion cubic metres of sand dredged costing approx. Euros 300 Million , using the world’s largest, the second largest and the tenth largest dredgers to elevate the height by 1.5 metres, to insure against any potential impact of increase in mean sea level due to global warming.

According to the report,the project bought over 1,209 units of various equipment to enhance the local capacity for site works since even the biggest local civil contractors are unable to handle even small portions of our construction requirement.

It also bought 332 cranes to build up equipment installation capacity since the current capacity in Nigeria is extremely poor.

It built the world’s largest granite quarry to supply coarse aggregate, stone column material, stone base, stone dust & material for break water. (10 million tonnes per year production capacity).

It developed a port and constructed two quays with a load bearing capacity of 25 tonnes/ sq meter to bring Over Dimensional Cargoes close to the site directly.

Stop Funding Fossil Fuel Projects In Nigeria, Stakeholders Tell World Bank, Others

Mohammed Shosanya

Some stakeholders in the nation’s economy have implored the African Development Bank, The World Bank and Export Credit agencies to discontinue financing fossil fuel projects in Nigeria.

Rising from the 2nd People’s Annual General Meeting,which was convened by the Africa Network for Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ) on Tuesday,participants advised that multinational oil companies in Nigeria and their investors such as Blackrock, Vanguard, Legal and General Investment management, should take responsibility for loss and damage in the Niger Delta as recommended during COP27.

In a communique signed at the end of the meeting,the participants also urge the incoming administration to demonstrate the political will to end gas flaring in Nigeria.

The AGM re-stated its earlier call for the companies’ major investors to go to the Niger Delta for the fact-finding mission and resolved to undertake high-level advocacy to engage the investors and government currently supporting multinational oil companies in Nigeria.

The Norwegian Oil Fund and other investors should follow the example of The Church of England which made a commitment to vote against all directors at the upcoming AGMs of multinational oil companies in response to their failure to meet climate change objectives.

They also implored investors to conduct further research on the activities of oil companies ongoing in Kogi, Nasarawa, Gombe, and other parts of Nigeria, to promote learning and experience sharing between Niger Delta communities and other parts of Nigeria.

According to the participants,the Energy Transition Plan of oil companies should be in compliance with Paris Agreement on climate change and Climate Change Act, reflecting the perspectives of communities affected by decades of fossil fuel extraction.

They advised the Federal Government of Nigeria to should appoint a substantive chairman for the Governing Council of HYPREP, Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP). to ensure consistency in the leadership.

The government, companies and other stakeholders should contribute to the remediation process by supporting the development and adoption of new technologies that can accelerate the Ogoni cleanup,the communique added.

The communique added:”We also call on HYPREP to embark on fullscale livelihood restoration programme for the Ogoni people.There should also be an unbiased investigation into the remediation process in Ogoni land as well environmental and health audits of the entire Niger Delta and a total cleanup of the region”.

The participants expressed concern over the divestment of oil companies from on-shore to off-shore without taking into consideration the environmental hazards and damages caused by their operations.

They noted that there are technical and governance issues with the cleanup of Ogoni land which is slowing down the process, and the lack of stability in the leadership of the governing Council of Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP).

They further expressed concern over the new communities in Nigeria where oil fields are being developed, so as avoid the similar fate as communities in the Niger Delta.

Mohammed Shosanya

Minister of State Power, Jerry Agba has hinted of ongoing negotiations were on with the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation NNPCL to augment gas supplies to distributors at local rate.

Agba,who spoke after the Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday, at the Presidential Villa Abuja, said with the interventions being put in place, power stability was bound to come in few days.

He said:”You’ll agree with me that of late, we’ve had problems with gas supplies for generation companies. We just negotiated with the gas supply companies, NNPC limited to augment gas supplies to distributors at the going local rate.

“Gas was sold to them at export rate, whose price differs and the collection is made on domestic rates. So there was a differential and the argument, however, we had an agreement with the NNPCL and natural gas company to supply gas to GENCOs commencing from last week, and they are buying at local price not at the export price.

“So with that we hope in the very near future in a week or two we should have improved generation and supply. Distribution is going to be done by DISCOs which is why we are doing everything possible for transmission company to have all the equipment necessary for effective transmission. We hope and I assure you that power generation and distribution as well will improve despite the rains that have come in now”.

Speaking on the second memo presented before FEC, the Minister noted that an approval was given for the award of contract for the procurement of telephone numbers of 33 KV circuit breakers and 120 numbers of surge arrestors for systems use for Transmission Company of Nigeria.

He promised that government was still committed to providing an improving services on electricity to Nigerians.

He added: ” The Transmission Company of Nigeria is the main body that has to do the transmission. You know generation and distribution are in private hands now, so government is only responsible for transmission. Most of the equipment have become obsolete over the years which is why you have breaking transmissions, low power outage, low power supplies and outages here and there”
