Dangote Reveals NNPC Officials, Others Have Oil Processing Plants Abroad Amid Moves Against Him (VIDEO)

Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has revealed that some staff members of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited and oil traders are operating a blending plant in Malta, Europe.

News ToGo reports that Dangote made this statement over the weekend when he hosted the leadership of the House of Representatives, led by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas and Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu.

He asserted that the quality of fuel produced at the Dangote Refinery is far superior to that of the fuel imported by other marketers, which has caused significant damage to many vehicles in Nigeria. “I still stand by what I said. Go to filling stations and check the quality. That is the only way,” Dangote emphasized.

He continued, “We know where they blend these things. Some NNPC people and some traders have opened a blending plant somewhere off Malta. We all know these areas. We know what they are doing.”

Dangote also addressed claims that his group of companies enjoys a monopoly, calling these assertions untrue.

“If you look at all our operations at Dangote (Group), we add value by taking local raw materials and turning them into products. We have never consciously or unconsciously stopped anyone from doing the same business we are doing,” he explained.

He pointed out that when Dangote entered the cement production industry, Lafarge was the only other company operating in Nigeria, yet no one labeled Lafarge a monopoly.

“Monopoly is when you stop people and block them through legal means. No, it is a level playing field where whatever Dangote was given in cement, for example, others were given as well, with some even receiving more than us,” he added, expressing his disheartenment over the monopoly accusations.

BREAKING: Tension As Gunmen Kidnap Top Rivers Official, Fubara

Gunmen have kidnapped Aribibia John Fubara, a senior director with the Rivers State Board of Internal Revenue Service, in Port Harcourt.

News ToGo reports that the abduction occurred at the Marine Base area of the city, where six armed men arrived by speedboat, fired several shots into the air, and forcibly took Fubara, who is also a Knight of Saint Christopher in the Anglican Communion, to an unknown location.

Emmanuel Fubara, the victim’s brother, confirmed the incident and stated that the family has reported it to the police. The Rivers State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, also confirmed the kidnapping.

As of now, details about the kidnappers’ demands or Fubara’s whereabouts remain unclear. The state’s Commissioner of Police has directed tactical units to ensure Fubara’s safe release and launched a manhunt to apprehend the perpetrators. Iringe-Koko stated, “The command is aware of the incident, and the CP has directed tactical units to ensure the victim is released unhurt. A manhunt has been launched to arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice.”

BREAKING: Bangladesh's Prime Minister Flees As Angry Protesters Storm Her Palace

Protesters jubilantly stormed the residence of Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday after she fled, capping over a month of violent anti-government demonstrations.

News ToGo gathered that crowds, waving flags and some dancing atop a tank, broke into Hasina’s official residence in Dhaka. Channel 24 in Bangladesh aired footage of the crowd entering the compound and waving to the cameras in celebration.

An insider revealed that Hasina, 76, had relocated to a “safer place.”

Army chief Waker-Uz-Zaman was set to address the nation on Monday afternoon, according to a military spokesman.

Before the breach, Hasina’s son urged security forces to prevent any overthrow of her 15-year rule.

“Your duty is to protect our people, our country, and uphold the constitution. Do not allow any unelected government to seize power, not even for a minute,” said her US-based son, Sajeeb Joy, in a Facebook post.

Security forces had supported Hasina’s administration throughout the unrest, which initially began over civil service job quotas and escalated into broader demands for her resignation. However, protesters defied curfews and violent crackdowns.

On Sunday, the deadliest day of the unrest, at least 94 people were killed, including 14 police officers. Clashes between protesters and government supporters involved sticks and knives, and security forces opened fire.

Since the protests began in early July, at least 300 people have been killed, according to an AFP tally based on reports from police, government officials, and doctors.

Army chief Waker assured officers on Saturday that the military “always stood by the people,” according to an official statement.

The military had previously declared an emergency in January 2007 after widespread political unrest, leading to a military-backed caretaker government for two years.
