Former Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, has denied reports claiming he is in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission ,EFCC, following an ongoing investigation into the alleged misappropriation of $2.9 billion allocated for refinery rehabilitation.
Mr Mele Kyari said in a statement that the misinformation is a clear mischief and a calculated attempt by unnamed individuals to tarnish his reputation.
Kyari, who was removed from his position following a presidential directive dissolving the NNPCL board and management, said he is currently taking a well-deserved rest after years of demanding public service.
He said having served the NNPC and the NNPCL for 34 years—17 of those in management roles, and especially the last 5 years and 9 months he had little time for leave, even for two weeks
He maintained his innocence and expressed his readiness to account for his time in office, both before the Nigerian authorities and ultimately before God.
