Dangote retira petição de corrupção contra ex-chefe da NMDPRA

Aliko Dangote retirou sua petição anterior ao ICPC acusando o antigo chefe da Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) de corrupção, marcando uma resolução da disputa regulatória.

Alhaji Aliko Dangote, presidente da Dangote Industries Limited, retirou a petição que apresentou no final de 2025 à Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) contra o chefe da época da Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA). Essa petição original, que levou a ICPC a lançar uma investigação sobre alegações de corrupção em meio a questões regulatórias no setor de petróleo, foi agora resolvida por meio de sua retirada. Reportado em 8 de janeiro de 2026, esse desenvolvimento encerra a investigação sem detalhes divulgados sobre as razões da retirada ou as alegações originais.
