Nigeria’s state oil company illegally paid 216 billion naira ($707.4 million) in fuel subsidies in 2017, according to a Senate probe, the findings of which were released on Thursday.

The investigation by the upper legislative house said that parliament had not approved those payments by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation last year, and any further spending on subsidies should be halted with immediate effect.
