Oil cabals working against Dangote Refinery – Pastor Adeboye
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has disclosed an alleged scheme involving an oil cabal in Nigeria working alongside international oil companies (IOCs) to undermine the operations of private refineries like Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
During his address at the November 2024 Abuja Special Holy Ghost service, Adeboye called on Nigerians to pray for divine intervention against the actions of unscrupulous oil marketers who are intent on causing hardship for the populace.
The cleric said that oil marketers are working hard to obstruct the refinery’s operations, following previous sabotage incidents affecting Nigeria’s four state-owned refineries.
Pastor Adeboye reminded the congregation that it was God who inspired Aliko Dangote to create a refinery after many unsuccessful attempts to revive the country’s four public refineries, which had wasted billions of Naira with minimal success.
He raised concerns about the continued reliance on fuel imports, despite Nigeria being a significant crude oil producer.
“Are we under a curse?” he asked. “We have four refineries, we poured all kinds of money into them, none of them is working.
“But God raised someone to build a refinery that works. He is not my relative; he is not from my village. He is not even a Christian, but he is a Nigerian who says, ‘Why should my people suffer when I have the means to build a refinery that can work?’ Now he is refining petrol, and some people want to stop him from selling it, so they can keep importing.”
DAILY POST reports that the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN has reached an agreement with Dangote Refinery to sell petrol to its members directly.
Meanwhile, Nigerians are still buying petrol at N1060 and N1200 at NNPC stations and other retail outlets.

Rivers: We’ll not go into media battle with Fubara – Police
The Nigeria Police has vowed not to engage in a media tussle with Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara over the political crisis rocking the state.
The police, however, condemned the allegations by the governor, saying they were only conforming to a court order barring the force from participating in the LGA elections.
A statement by the police spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, on Monday also debunked what it termed the prevailing falsehood of partisanship circulating in the media.
Adejobi also reiterated the police’s neutrality and non-interference in political affairs within the state and the country.
According to him, the misinformation triggered by the unwarranted outburst of Fubara was totally uncalled for and unfair to the law enforcement institutions in Nigeria.
“For the avoidance of doubts, the general public is free to profile the career journey of the Inspector-General of Police and his track record in every place he has served, which undoubtedly show him as a man of honor, integrity, and focus before and after his assumption of office as the 22nd Indigenous Inspector General of Police of Nigeria.
“The IGP is very well respected in the Association of Chiefs of Police Worldwide, particularly in Africa, where he’s currently serving as the Chairman of the West African Police Chiefs Committee (WAPCCO) and providing meritorious leadership within the West African Chiefs of Police.
“We have seen Chiefs of Police from across the world coming to attend his events in Nigeria and extending several invitations to him. For the first time, the president of Interpol was at the opening ceremony of the Nigeria Police conference and retreat in Owerri last year under this IGP. Let us please observe some decorum in our politics in Nigeria,” the statement read.
