CAC official ‘murdered over $1.092b’ Malabu oil deal’
The probe into the controversial $1.092 billion Malabu oil deal led to the murder of an official of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), it emerged yesterday.
The agency’s head of Compliance, Justin Ndia, said Abubakar Umar, who was in charge of the Malabu brief, was “brutally murdered”.
Ndia spoke when he appeared before the Hon. Rasak Atunwa-headed House of Representatives ad hoc committee on the alleged corruption , malpractices and breach of due process in the award of Oil Prospecting Licence OPL 245 on Wednesday.
Umar’s murder led to the disappearance of the file in which the structure of the ownership of Malabu was “illegally” changed, the committee learnt.
Although Ndia’s appearance before the committee was secret, The Nation obtained the details yesterday.
