Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Kaduna Zonal Directorate, has arrested Abdulazeez Gbadebo, station manager of Emadeb Energy Service Limited, for allegedly diverting ₦500 million through fraudulent fuel sales.
According to the EFCC, the arrest followed a petition and external audit that uncovered Gbadebo’s manipulation of pump meters to sell bulk petrol and diesel, with proceeds funneled into his personal bank accounts.
Investigations revealed that he received payments directly through private accounts, bypassing company records.
EFCC operatives recovered multiple high-value items including an ash-coloured Mercedes Benz, three Mini Coopers (ash and green), and a white Mercedes Benz GLK.
Real estate assets recovered include a three-bedroom fully detached bungalow, three landed properties, a Certificate of Occupancy (File No. KDL 328159), and an authorization letter from the Kaduna Geographical Information System (KADGIS).
The EFCC confirmed that Gbadebo will be charged to court upon conclusion of investigations. The case highlights the Commission’s continued efforts to combat financial crimes and recover stolen public funds
