A Federal High Court in Abuja has given the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) the nod to arrest the Managing Director of ExxonMobil Nigeria, Mr Richard Laing.
According to the EFCC, Justice Okon Abang on January 29, 2021, granted the Commission’s application for a Bench Warrant to arrest the MD of the International oil firm.
The EFCC stated that it approached the Court for a Warrant after three invitations to Mr Laing were rebuffed.
EFCC says it is investigating alleged procurement fraud in the Major Integrity Pipelines Project involving Mobil Producing Nigeria as the contracting company; Suffolk Petroleum Services Limited as the main contractor; Saipem Contracting Nigeria, Global Offshore Limited and Van Ord as sub-contractor to SPSL.
At issue, is the fraudulent creation of Change Orders worth over $213million.
