Alleged 48m barrel NNPCL’s oil theft, baseless, says CHURAC - Vanguard

Chairman Board of Trustees, Centre for Human Rights and Anti-Corruption Crusade (CHURAC), Cleric Ebikonbowei Alaowei, Esq has queried the credibility of the ‘George Uboh Whistleblowers Network’ against the leadership of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited over a contentious sale of 48million barrel stolen crude oil to China.

In a statement he signed on Tuesday, Alaowei stated that the allegation that NNPC Limited sold 48m barrel stolen crude oil to China is baseless and has no atom of truth, adding that the self-acclaimed whistleblower group is only blackmailing the Company maybe to achieve some fraudulent purposes.

The statement reads in parts: “We’re aware that the person behind the so-called whistleblower group is an ex-convict both nationally and internationally. For a person who has been convicted by courts of competent jurisdiction in Nigeria and in the USA over financial crimes cannot float whistleblower organisation in Nigeria to fight financial crime.

“While we support every genuine move to checkmate corrupt activities both in private and public sectors, some whistleblowers are now taken advantage of the gesture to witch hunt perceived enemies. Some are now indulging in cyber bullying or stalking, while others carry out smear campaigns in the media to assassinate the characters of their victims.
