He was arrested and detained by DSS since May 5, 2017 on the allegation that he was allegedly involved in acts of “economic sabotage which include stealing, diversion and illegal sale of petroleum products stored in his tank farm (in Lagos) by the NNPC. So, far, it has been established that the products stolen amount to over Eleven Billion Naira (N11bn).”
