Abdulazeez Gbadebo, the station manager of Emadeb Energy Service Limited, has been detained by agents of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) Kaduna Zonal directorate on charges of criminal breach of trust and money diversion totaling N500 million.
In a social media statement, the EFCC said that Gbadebo’s arrest came after a petition claiming that it had learned through an external audit that the suspect had illegally manipulated pump meters to sell bulk gasoline to consumers and transferred N500 million from the fraud to his personal bank account.
The EFCC said the investigations carried out by the Commission revealed that the suspect sold bulk petrol and diesel to different individuals and received payments through his private bank accounts.
Items recovered from him include an ash-coloured Mercedes Benz, an ash-coloured mini cooper, a green-coloured mini cooper, an ash-coloured mini cooper and a white Mercedes Benz GLK.
