Former Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, has refuted widespread rumours alleging that he is in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Describing the reports as “clear mischief” and a “calculated attempt” to discredit him, Kyari took to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle late Saturday night to issue a strongly worded rebuttal.
“Over the past few days and in particular in the past two hours, I have been inundated with calls from concerned family and friends over claims by an online newspaper that I was in EFCC custody,” he wrote. “This is clear mischief and a calculated attempt by the newspaper and its sponsors to achieve a desired outcome, which only them know.”
Kyari stated that he is currently taking a “well-deserved rest” following the recent dissolution of the NNPCL board and management. He reiterated his readiness to respond to any lawful inquiry related to his tenure at the national oil firm.
