Dangote withdraws corruption petition against ex-NMDPRA boss

Dansk

Aliko Dangote has withdrawn his earlier petition to the ICPC accusing the former head of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) of corruption, marking a resolution to the regulatory dispute.

Alhaji Aliko Dangote, president of Dangote Industries Limited, has withdrawn the petition he filed in late 2025 with the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) against the then-head of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA). That original petition, which prompted ICPC to launch an investigation into corruption allegations amid petroleum sector regulatory issues, has now been resolved through withdrawal. Reported on January 8, 2026, this development ends the probe without disclosed details on the withdrawal reasons or original claims.
