The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is investigating Mele Kyari, the erstwhile group chief executive officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, over alleged financial misappropriation.

The ex-NNPC boss was interrogated regarding alleged financial misappropriation of funds for maintenance of the three state-owned refineries during his tenure.

On April 2, Tinubu removed Kyari, citing the need for enhanced operational efficiency, restored investor confidence, and a more commercially viable NNPC.

As part of the overhaul, the president appointed Bayo Ojulari to replace Kyari as the new group CEO, and Ahmadu Musa Kida as NNPC’s new non-executive chairman, replacing Pius Akinyelure.
