Jide Omokore CEO of SPOG and Atlantic Energy and a very close business ally to recently detained former Petroleum Minister Diezani Allison Madueke is reportedly under house arrest .......well it is alleged that he has been under house arrest for a while now whilst EFCC operatives conducted their investigations on the crimes heaped on his head.
Just after the arrest of Diezani in London by the UK National Crime Agency on Friday Morning, EFCC operatives also stormed the home of Mr Omokore Friday evening to search it but i do not know if the house has been sealed off because he is inside under house arrest.
Another Website Sahara reporters reports that Jide's wife Angela Ebagua was hiding in one of the rooms whilst the search was on. His office on Glover Street, also in Ikoyi is also under lockdown by EFCC officials.
Omokore was said to be involved in multi-billion dollar oil deals, including kerosene scam that dented Nigeria’s treasury by over $6billion.
