Following the wanted declaration made by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Abdullahi Bashir Haske, the anti-graft commission has now gone ahead to freeze the account of the founder of AA & R Investment Group.
Haske was declared wanted by the EFCC over allegation of money laundering and fraud.
According to EFCC insiders, Haske’s account was blocked as investigation into the alleged money laundry and fraud expands.
EFCC sources revealed that over $56 million has been traced to different accounts linked to Haske within the last three months alone. The probe also focuses on suspicious financial flows, bulk cash transfers, and questionable contracts tied to NNPC EnServe Ltd., a subsidiary under NNPCL’s Upstream Directorate.
The manhunt for Haske unfolds against the backdrop of mounting controversy over alleged fraudulent contracts tied to him and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).
The Coalition of Nigerian Patriots for Good Governance has accused NNPCL’s leadership under Bayo Ojulari of awarding a ₦5.7 billion consultancy contract to Haske without due process.
The group denounced the deal as “a loot in broad daylight,” questioning why an obscure firm with no proven track record was selected.
It also condemned what it described as reckless extravagance by NNPCL executives, pointing to both the secretive consultancy contract and the lavish management retreat in Kigali, Rwanda.
At the center of the EFCC’s expanding probe are suspicions of money laundering, bulk cash transfers, and questionable transactions linked to NNPC EnServe Ltd., a subsidiary under NNPCL’s Upstream Directorate.
