EKO HOT BLOG reports in the ongoing trial related to the controversial Gas Supply Processing Agreement (GSPA) between Process and Industrial Development (P&ID) and the Nigerian government, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has demanded to see the death certificate of the former Director of Legal, Ministry of Petroleum Resources, Grace Taiga.

Taiga, who was standing trial on allegations of bribery in the P&ID case, had reportedly passed away on August 1, 2023, as informed by her lawyer, Daniel Alumun, on November 4, 2023.
