ICPC Invites Aliko Dangote to Submit Evidence Against Ex-NMDPRA Boss Farouk Ahmed, Says Resignation Will Not Stop Corruption Probe
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has formally invited Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, to present documentary evidence supporting his corruption allegations against the former Managing Director of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), Alhaji Farouk Ahmed. The anti-graft agency stressed that Ahmed’s recent resignation does not affect the ongoing investigation, which is being treated as a matter of public interest. According to ICPC sources, a special panel of seasoned investigators has been constituted to handle the probe, with Dangote or his legal representative expected to adopt the petition and submit supporting documents. Dangote has accused Ahmed of abuse of office, illicit enrichment, diversion of public funds, and spending over $7 million on the education of his four children in Switzerland—expenses he claims cannot be justified by a public servant’s earnings. The ICPC said it would follow due process, isolate issues raised in the petition, and allow Ahmed to respond, warning that both proven corruption and frivolous petitions carry severe legal consequences under the ICPC Act. @
