Ex-EFCC Boss Bawa Reveals N3.7 Billion Petrol Subsidy Fraud

 


Former EFCC chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, has shared shocking details of how Oluwaseun Ogunbambo, a businessman, defrauded the Nigerian government of N3.7 billion through petrol subsidy fraud.


In his book titled The Shadow of Loot & Losses: Uncovering Nigeria’s Petroleum Subsidy Fraud, Bawa explained how Ogunbambo used fake documents to collect money meant for importing fuel. According to Bawa, Ogunbambo claimed he imported petrol, but the fuel never existed. He forged shipping documents and presented them to the government to receive payments.


Ogunbambo, who was the managing director of Fargo Petroleum and Gas Ltd, was declared wanted by the EFCC in 2013. He was charged with collecting N976.6 million fraudulently. While the case was still in court, he jumped bail and fled the country. Bawa said Ogunbambo had multiple identities and was also wanted in other countries like Ireland, the UK, and the USA.


The book also talks about how fuel subsidy fraud has been a major problem in Nigeria. Bawa pointed out that many people took advantage of weak systems and corrupt officials to steal billions of naira. Fake fuel importation, over-invoicing, and smuggling were common tricks used to loot public funds.


Bawa called for serious reforms in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector. He said the only way to stop such fraud is through transparency, accountability, and strong regulations.


This story is another reminder of how corruption affects development and why it is important for Nigeria to fix its systems and punish those who steal public money.

Behind closed doors, Pastor Mwangi wept—not out of shame, but because his daughter’s trust had been betrayed. Amani, devastated, deleted her accounts and shut herself in, fearing the world’s cruelty more than her father’s wrath. But on Sunday, Pastor Mwangi did something no one expected. He stood before his congregation and said, “My daughter is not perfect. But she is loved. And she is forgiven.” Silence fell. Then tears. And for once, the church lived what it preached: grace. And just like that, the he aling began.
