Nigerian anti-graft officials conducted a raid on the offices of Dangote Industries, a company controlled by Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote. The raid is part of a larger investigation into Godwin Emefiele, the former governor of Nigeria's central bank. The Dangote Group has criticized the anti-graft commission's actions, describing the raid as an attempt to cause embarrassment, as reported by Nduka Orjinmo. The probe has extended to 50 additional companies beyond Dangote's empire. Concerns have been raised by the chairman of an influential parliamentary panel that the raid could damage Nigeria's economy and deter potential investors. The situation has also caused widespread alarm in Nigeria's corporate circles, and questions have been raised about the role of auditor Deloitte in missing a massive fraud at a Nigerian company.
