Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, (NNPCL) Bayo Ojulari, on Monday morning was in his office at the NNPCL Towers, Abuja, on normal duties.
Ojulari’s presence in office is in conflict with a story by an online medium on Friday that he was abducted by top officers of the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) forced to resign from office.
NNPCL officers said they were amused by the fake news as they knew that Ojulari worked from home at the weekend and resumed normal work on Monday at about 9.30am.
“When the former management was removed, it didn’t take more than a press statement or a post on X to achieve that. So, saying it took the combined effort of the DSS and EFCC to remove a government appointee in office is a new high in the growing fake news industry,” one officer who didn’t want his name mentioned, declared.
