The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it has uncovered an illegal oil refinery in Ogere, Ogun State, that it alleges is operated by Chinese nationals. Outlets report that the investigation involves suspected processing and sale of fuel products, including diesel, linked to the refinery.
Premium Times adds that EFCC operatives stormed the premises on 31 October and found the refinery deserted. Vanguard describes the alleged activity as processing sludge oil into diesel for the Nigerian market, while Legit.ng and The Punch focus on the discovery and the intelligence or investigative basis for identifying the site.
Overall, the coverage is consistent on the location (Ogere, Ogun), the suspected illegal nature of the refinery, and allegations that Chinese operators are involved. The main differences across outlets are the presence of operational details—such as the raid date and whether the site appeared deserted—and the specificity of what materials were processed.
