Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr. Mohammed Adoke
The House of Representatives yesterday summoned the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr. Mohammed Adoke, over a letter he purportedly wrote to a foreign organisation, Global Witness, stating that the House had cleared him of any wrongdoing in the controversial Malabu oil deal.
The summon occurred the same day the House passed a resolution condemning the recent attack and burning down of several Itsekiri communities in Warri North Local Government Area. The lower chamber of the National Assembly had some months ago, raised the red flag on the disposal of the Oil Prospecting Lease (OPL) 245 following allegations that there were breaches in the deal that saw the sale of the block by Malabu Oil and Gas Company to Shell and Agip.
The House also instituted a probe and a report of findings was submitted to the lower chamber last week. It is yet to be considered by the lawmakers.
