According to Malami, after investigating the allegation, it was observed that the origin of the crude oil allegedly lost in China was unknown, this was communicated to President Muhammadu Buhari.

The AGF also informed the lawmakers that details of whistle blowers as requested by the committee cannot be disclosed at a public hearing because it breached confidentiality and indeed the whistle blower policy.
