The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission yesterday filed additional 15 criminal charges against Mr. Jide Omokore and others, which include two of his companies: Atlantic Energy Brass Limited and Atlantic Energy Drilling Concept Limited, Victor Briggs and Membere Abiye in their ongoing trial before Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of the Federal High Court, Abuja.

The witness, an investigator and data analyst with the EFCC, revealed that sometime in 2013, the EFCC received a complaint from a non-governmental agency urging the Commission to investigate the activities of the former minister of Petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke, adding that the transactions involved huge sums of money in United States dollars between the first defendant and his companies in respect of Strategic Alliance Agreement on Oil Mining Leases 26, 30, 34 and 42.
