Jide Omokore

The arrest in London and trial of the former Nigerian’s minister of petroleum resources, Diezani Alison Madueke may have triggered more arrests as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has just arrest the owner of SPOG and Atlantic Energy, Jide Omokore. Omokore is being held for his alleged involvement in multi-billion dollar oil deals, including kerosene scam that rocked the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

It would be recalled that just on Friday last week, Omokore’s no 9 Turnbull Street home in Ikoyi as well as his office on Glover Street, also in Ikoyi were sealed off by the operatives of EFCC.

Recently, a group of anti-corruption advocates called for the arrest of Jide Omokore using the Twitter hashtag #ArrestOmokoreNow.

Omokore has been undergoing investigation by the EFCC.
