Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , Abdulrasheed Bawa, has told a Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja that the anti-graft agency carried out ‘holistic investigation’ about Abubakar Ali Peters and his company, Nadabo Energy Limited, over allegation of N1.4 billion subsidy fraud.

“Through our investigation, we found out that the content of the documents submitted, including a letter written by Masters Energy to the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency that the defendant discharged 14,000MT equivalent to about 19,000,000 litres of PMS in their tank farm is false. From our findings, some documents from the Department of Petroleum Resources were also false,” he said.
