Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami has dismissed the \u201cpurported\u201d missing 48 million barrels of crude oil.<\/p>\n

Malami, while appearing before the House ad hoc committee on Thursday, dismissed the possibility of the sales of the oil without remitting to the federation account.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me state on record and for the benefit of Nigerians and the committee that the allegations relating to the 48 million barrels are baseless. The allegation is unfounded. It lacks merit and indeed substance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe allegation in its own right is devoid of any reasonable ground pointing to a material suspicion cogent enough to invoke the constitutional oversight of the committee,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also dismissed the organization that wrote the petition on the missing oil. He noted that Protect the World Organization (PWO) has no locus in the investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am here for open engagement for Nigerians to see what we are doing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The committee subsequently resolved that Malami will reappear again for further questions.<\/p>\n
