The allegation is unfounded. It lacks merit and indeed substance,\u201d the minister said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe allegation in its own right is devoid of any reasonable ground pointing to a material suspicion cogent enough to invoke the constitutional oversight of the committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes in 2016, allegations were rife and hyped in social media. There were allegations of the existence of stolen 48 million barrels of Nigerian crude in China said to have been valued at N2.4 billion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The minister said at the time, President Muhammadu Buhari \u201cinformally\u201d requested him, Mele Kyari, group chief executive officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited; Lawal Daura, the then director-general of the Department of State Service (DSS); and late Abba Kyari to \u201clook into\u201d the allegation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut unfortunately, for there to be a reasonable ground for suspicion, at least, you require certain basic facts. The basic details of the existence of the product and connecting it to Nigeria were not there at all,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe vessel perhaps that took it, the particulars and details of the vessel \u2014 were not available at our disposal at all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the issue is simple. There were no reasonable grounds for suspicion of the fact that the purported oil product either exists in spirit or in fact or indeed exists in China \u2014 and it is in no way connected to Nigeria. And all efforts on our part to get details have proven abortive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo it was a committee that was dead on arrival because it has not been formally constituted and then our informal findings do not suggest or provide information that could support (the sale of the crude oil\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we could not establish the substance in the allegation because detail information to confirm the existence and origin of the shipment such as a sample of the oil, vessel involved loading point, location of the crude in China were not provided.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Malami said no further action was taken by his office after it was reported to the President that the \u201cveracity of the allegation\u201d could not be verified.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation (AGF) and minister of justice, has appeared before a house of representatives ad hoc committee probing the alleged illegal sale of 48 million barrels of crude oil in 2015.
