The Nigerian Senate has allegedly discovered a rip-off of $141 million gas scandal involving the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and Keystone bank.
Rising through order 42 of Senate rules, Senator Dino Melaye representing Kogi West Senatorial district, explained that a company, Brass LNG Limited was registered with the Federal government having a controlling share of 50%.
He revealed further that the domiciled account with Keystone bank has no bank verification number, which he said, made it possible for the withdrawal of $4 million illegally.
“Mr. President, distinguished colleagues, I rise through order 42 of Senate rules to address the course of our nation.”
“There was a monumental and collosal corruption at the NNPC over a joint venture company, Brass LNG Limited with the FG having a controlling share of 50%.”
In his reaction, Senate President, Bukola Saraki asked that the matter be brought in form of motion to enable debate at another legislative day.
