The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) has arrested Jide Omokore, owner of SPOG
and Atlantic Energy.
Omokore is accused of involvement in multi-
billion dollar oil deals, including kerosene scam
that rocked the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC).
On October 2, Omokore’s no 9 Turnbull Street
home in Ikoyi as well as his office on Glover
Street, also in Ikoyi were under lockdown by EFCC
officials.
As at the time of filing this report, Omokore was
being investigated by the EFCC.
The mobile line of Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC
spokesman was off when our correspondent
called.
“It is normal for Oga Wilson to switch off his
phone at a time like this.” an EFCC source said.
“The calls will be too much. Expect a statement
later please.
