Dafe Sejebor, Others Fingered As Controversy Engulf Planed Sale Of Building Owned By Embattled Oil Baron, Jide Omokore For $48m Above Asking Price!

Details coming to town have it

They glide together like a murder of crows circling to make a kill. But they are merely human, magnates desperately seeking to make a killing via the sale and acquisition of yet another controversial property.
For undisclosed reasons, Dafe Sejebor, Group General Manager, National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS) and other top guns of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and NAPIMS.

According to Sahara Reporters, they are pressuring oil giant, Addax Petroleum, to purchase a building owned by their friend and embattled businessman, Jide Omokore, at $48 million above the asking price.

They have reportedly been pressuring Addax to acquire the building at $115 million even though it’s actual price is $67 million. It would be recalled that Omokore, the owner of the building was arrested in June for alleged money laundering.

However, Sejebor seems to have also developed a knack for being in the news for the wrong reasons. Recently, he was accused of corruption by a Niger Delta group even as news gains traction that he recently purchased property in Houston, Texas, United States, valued at between $1.2 and $1.4 million.

When Sejebor was allegedly contacted on phone by Sahara Reporters to verify his ownership of the five-bedroom house, he declined to comment and hung up.

However, an online property search revealed that the registered owner of the pricey house is one Dafe S. Sejebor. Such ownership is at variance with Nigerian laws, which require public officials to declare ownership of properties abroad.
