BNI investigates Tema Oil Refinery case
The Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) is investigating allegations that a company paid by Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) for the supply of crude oil was not the actual supplier of the commodity.
The investigation, which is at the instance of the government, follows the emergence of a business entity that is claiming ownership of the crude supplied to TOR, according to a statement issued on Wednesday by the Ministry of Information signed by a Deputy Minister, Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
The statement said the government expected the BNI, which had been on the case for a while now, to conclude its investigations “within the shortest possible time”.
“Government will act swiftly on the report of the investigations,” the statement said.
Three companies are said to be claiming ownership of 600,000 barrels of crude oil worth 48 million dollars supplied to Ghana last year.

THIS PARTICULAR CASE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. THE OFFICIALS OF TOR KNEW FOR MONTHS NOW THAT THERE WAS NO COMPANY ANY WHERE IN THE WORLD CALLED REFINEE PETRO PLUS A SUBSIDIARY OF SAHARA THE PURPORTED COMPANY HAD A P.O.BOX NUMBER AND YET THEY STILL WENT AHEAD AND PAID. THE ACTUAL PEOPLE THAT SUPPLIED THE CRUDE HAVE BEEN WRANGLING SINCE FOR THEIR MONEY. SO MANY PEOPLE LAID CLAIM TO THIS CRUDE WHY DID THEY SINGLE OUT PETRO PLUS WHICH THEY KNEW DID NOT SUPPLY THE CRUDE AND DOES NOT EXIST TO PAY? WAS YVETTE AYELE FOLI NOT ARRESTED? AND SHE MENTIONED NAMES OF TOP OFFICIALS AT TOR, WHY IS HER STATEMENT STILL MISSING TILL DATE? WHY IS SHE TAKEN OUT OF SAHARA WEBSITE SO SUDDENLY? SHOULD SHE NOT BE ASKED TO MAKE A STATEMENT TO CLEAR HER NAME IN ALL THESE? THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER USING THEIR CHEAP TACTICS OF INTIMIDATING PEOPLE WITH DEATH THREATS AND HARRASSMENT. THIS TIME THE PEOPLE INVOLVED ARE INTELLIGENT, ERUDITE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE READY TO DIE FOR THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH FOR ONCE WOULD PREVAIL. SO MANY NIGERIANS INNOCENTLY HAVE BEEN KILLED AS A RESULT OF TOR STEALING THEIR CRUDE, SO MANY HAVE GONE UNDERGROUND BECAUSE TOR HAD NOT PAID FOR THE CRUDE THEY SUPPLIED THEM, SO MANY ARE BANKCRUPT STUCK IN GHANA AND CANT GO HOME TO NIGERIA FOR FEAR OF BEING KILLED BECAUSE THEY ARE SO HEAVILY INDEBTED BECAUSE TOR STOLE THEIR PRODUCT AND REFUSED TO PAY. PLEASE PEOPLE WISEN UP OFFICIALS OF TOR ARE THE WORST ROGUES ON EARTH. THEIR NINE DAYS OF STEALING HAS FINALLY RAN OUT IT’S THE TENTH DAY FOR THE OWNER TO GET REPRIEVE AT LAST. THIS IS ONLY GOING TO OPEN A FLOOD GATE OF SO MANY OTHER CASES. WATCH THIS SPACE.
MY READING THE ABOVE COMMENT TELLS ME HOW MYOPIC PPLE CAN BE. CRUDE IS NOT PRIMARY SCHOOL BUSINESS. ITS A TRANSACTION THAT INVOLVES SO MANY STRINGENT CHECKS. THERE IS NO WAY ALL THESE ALLEGATIONS BY THESE SO CALLED COMPANIES COULD BE TRUE. TOR HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG BY PAYING FOR CRUDE THAT HAS BEEN DELIVERED. ALL THESE DIAMOND COMPANIES AND CO , WHERE ARE THIER FAKE DOCS CLAIMING OWNWERSHIP OF CRUDE THEY HAVE NOT SUPPLIED? PPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE OIL & GAS BUSINESS HENCE ARE GIVING COMMENTS OF ALL SORTS. I THINK WE SHOULD TRY AND UNDERSTAND BEFORE WE COME OUT WITH BASELESS COMMENTS LIKE THESE. THIS CRUDE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HAS ALREADY BEEN USED OR REFINED BY THE REFINERY SO GUYS TELL ME HOW POSSIBLE IS IT THAT GHANA HAS LOST MONEY WHEN THIS SAME CRUDE HAS EVEN BEEN USED ALREADY. AMAZING HOW WE THINK AND HOW QUICK WE ARE TO JUDGE AND HURL ACCUSATIONS. THESE PPLE CLAIMING THE CRUDE IS THIERS ARE NIGERIANS. SO WHOEVER U ARE THAT WROTE THE ABOVE COMMENT ,, I REALLY DO NOT GET U…..ELABORATE AND MAKE SENSE. THANKS.
