The Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), has assured that former NNPCL Group CEO Mele Kyari will face investigation following petitions demanding his probe.

Speaking through Winifred Adekunle, a deputy director at the Ministry of Justice, Fagbemi promised that “whatever questions you have asked will be addressed appropriately” after lawyers from the “Guardians of Democracy and Rule of Law” marched to submit their April 23, 2025 petition.

Protesters under “Concerned Citizens Against Corruption” also staged a two-day demonstration at the AGF’s office, calling for Kyari’s immediate investigation over alleged mismanagement and opaque transactions during his five-year tenure.

The petition accuses Kyari of facilitating questionable refinery rehabilitation deals—highlighting a $400 million investment claim by Matrix Energy despite a $1.5 billion Federal Executive Council approval—and servicing a $2 billion debt through crude allocations.

The group urged the AGF to review all agreements under Kyari’s administration, launch a fact-finding investigation to quantify losses, and establish a commission of inquiry to recover misappropriated funds and ensure accountability.
