A civic organisation, Make a Difference Initiative (MADI) has urged the Nigerian government to expedite the trial of Seplat Group, the company's CEO, Mr Roger Brown, and some others. Alongside Brown, Chairman of Seplat Group Board of Directors, Mr Basil Omiyi, and others are facing trial for alleged criminal violations of Nigeria's immigration laws and regulations.

The Nigerian government had filed criminal charges against Seplat Energy Plc; the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Roger Brown; the Board Chairman, Mr. Basil Omiyi, for alleged breach of extant provisions of the Immigration Act 2015.

The group has consistently spoken out on allegations of racism, discrimination against Nigerian employees, favouring foreign nationals, breach of good governance standards, and violation of Nigerian immigration laws and regulations, resulting in criminal charges against Seplat and its leadership.The group said its attention had been drawn to a “misleading claim” by Seplat Energy PLC that the Federal Government had withdrawn the “four-count criminal charges against the company; the CEO, Mr.

“Our investigation further revealed that although the Defendants are doing everything possible to thwart the legal proceedings by hook or crook, the criminal charges against Seplat and its offending Directors remain live as at today. “Secondly, the purported Notice of Withdrawal/Discontinuance was stamped and dated 6th April 2023, the same date the four-count criminal charge was filed against Seplat and its leadership. Could the same FG be filing the charges and the Notice of Withdrawal at the same time?
