The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has placed former NNPCL chief executive Mele Kyari on its watchlist over the $7.2bn refinery maintenance probe.
A Federal High Court in Abuja also ordered a 30-day freeze on four Jaiz Bank accounts linked to him, after investigators traced suspicious inflows of over N661m.
EFCC sources said the probe has reached an advanced stage, with Kyari’s associates already questioned. The court adjourned the matter to September 23 for updates.
Kyari was removed by President Bola Tinubu in April and replaced by Bashir Ojulari.
