EFCC, 2027

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has uncovered a sprawling illegal industrial complex housing several processing plants, warehouses and an illegal distillery in Ogere, Ogun State, arresting foreign nationals, police officers and other Nigerians in connection with the discovery.

The facility was discovered during an inspection led by the EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, as the commission intensified efforts to investigate suspected illegal industrial operations and economic activities in the country.

According to a report by Arise News, the complex was allegedly operated by foreign nationals believed to be Chinese citizens and contained several industrial facilities operating within the same premises.

Among the installations discovered were a petroleum processing plant, a lithium processing factory, a specialised wood processing facility and a power generation plant.

The inspection also reportedly revealed warehouses and an illegal distillery within the sprawling industrial complex, raising concerns about the nature and scale of activities taking place at the facility.

The EFCC subsequently arrested several individuals, including foreign nationals, police officers and other Nigerians suspected of having connections with the operations.

The arrests are expected to form part of investigations into the ownership, legality and financial activities of the industrial complex, as well as the possible involvement of individuals and institutions in facilitating its operations.

The discovery has raised fresh questions about regulatory oversight, industrial compliance and the activities of foreign-owned businesses operating in Nigeria.

The presence of multiple processing facilities, particularly petroleum and lithium processing plants, has also drawn attention to the need for effective monitoring of industrial operations and compliance with environmental, safety and business regulations.

Petroleum processing and lithium-related activities are industries that require appropriate licences, technical supervision and regulatory approvals to ensure compliance with established standards.

Similarly, the reported discovery of an illegal distillery within the premises adds another dimension to the investigation, particularly regarding the production and possible distribution of alcoholic products outside approved regulatory frameworks.

The EFCC has yet to disclose the identities of those arrested or provide a comprehensive breakdown of the alleged offences connected with the complex.

It was also unclear whether the commission had established the full ownership structure of the facility or the extent of its industrial operations before the inspection.

The investigation is expected to establish whether the operators possessed the necessary permits and whether financial crimes, regulatory violations or other offences were committed.

The commission’s discovery underscores continuing concerns about illegal industrial activities and the need for stronger enforcement of regulations governing businesses and manufacturing operations across Nigeria.
