Aliko Dangote, Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) Chairman, has filed a corruption petition at the EFCC against Farouk Ahmed, former Midstream Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) Managing Director.
Dangote’s legal team submitted a petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), following the earlier withdrawal of a similar complaint filed with the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), urging an investigation into alleged corruption.
The move signals an escalation of the dispute, with Dangote alleging abuse of office and corrupt enrichment against the former petroleum regulator and calling for a full criminal investigation.
