DELTA STATE WHERE ANYTHING GOES........

Sunday Chukwuedo, the chairman of Aniocha North local government of Delta State was yesterday mercilessly beaten up by the councilors in a hotel by the transition committee for sharing the  monthly allocation without their participation.Also Mr.Onwuka,the council Secretary, as well as the treasurer and the head of Personnel Management.

This incident occur  in one of the rooms at Dove Hart Hotel at the Issele-Uku headquarters.

 It was gather that as soon as the angry councilors arrived at the hotel, they forcibly opened the door to the room where the illicit deal was allegedly taking place and they met four council officials  seated dismantling the allocation and the visibly angry councilors gave them the beating of their lives. 

According to the source, it took the intervention of the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Mr. Victor Ochei who is still away in the United States of America on a training course, along with other prominent indigenes of the local government, to bring the matter under control and taken from the police station..

One of the angry councilors disclosed that the embattled ‘’Chukwuedo, who was allegedly planted as the transition committee council chairman by Ochei, has fraudulently introduced the concept of “built-in” salary, the proceeds of which he discreetly shares with the three council officials.’’

Explaining futher he said ‘“built-in” salary is the fraudulent smuggling of fictitious names into the council’s pay roll.  In practice, as soon as the allocation arrives, the chairman and his cohorts would deduct the illegal salaries, running into millions of Naira and shared it. ‘’ He alleged that the manipulation has been going on for several months.

Two councilors who simply gave their names as Mrs. Egbe and Mr. Buggy confirmed the story .
Since the incident happened, the acting Chief Press Secretary to the speaker, Mr. Nkem Osu, have been mounting pressure and pleading with a section of the press to drop the story with a promise that as soon as the speaker returns from his leadership training in the USA, they would be “appreciated.”
