OIL AND GAS MOGUL BEN PETERS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE AS EFCC DECLEARS HIM WANTED

Once upon a time, Peters’ name easily popped up on the list of the movers and shakers of the Nigerian oil and Gas sector. He commanded affluence and his name caused doors of opportunities to swing wide open. But his reign as one of the top movers of the oil and gas business came to a screeching halt when former President Goodluck Jonathan bowed out of office and President Muhammadu Buhari took over.


Since Buhari became the President of Nigeria, many of the numerous oil barons the Nigerian oil and gas sector once boasted of seem to have faded off the socio-economic scene into oblivion. One of the big boys in the oil and gas sector and boss of Aiteo Energy, Benny Peters, has become quite scarce. He seems to have abandoned fame to embrace anonymity.


However, EFCC has declared him wanted. According to the report on EFCC website, which states,”The public is hereby notified that Mr. Benedict Peters, whose photographs appear above, is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), The dark complexioned Peters is wanted in connection with a case of criminal conspiracy, diversion of funds and money laundering. He hails from Abakiliki LGA of Ebonyi state. His last known address is No. 8B Agodogba Avenue, Parkview Estate, Ikoyi, Lagos”.
