EBONYI GOVERNOR'S ARRESTED ON MONEY LAUNDERING ALLEGATIONS

Ebonyi State governor’s son Elechi Nnanna Elechi, is currently being quizzed by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Sources at the anti- graft agency said that the member of the Ebony’s first family who arrived the Commission’s head office in Abuja Thursday morning is being grilled over allegations of money laundering running into millions of Naira.

He is alleged to be the face of the family’s company that profited from contracts from the state and local governments running into millions of naira and which remain unexecuted less than four months to the end of his father’s tenure.

Last week the anti-graft agency quizzed the Permanent Secretary of the state Ministry of Works, Cornelius Onwe; while the state’s Accountant General, Edwin Igbele; Commissioner for Finance, Timothy Ogbonnaya Odaa; and Commissioner for Local government and Chieftaincy Matters, Cele Nwali had earlier been being quizzed by operatives of the EFCC, in Abuja, on allegations of fraud regarding an Asphalt Project earmarked for the 13 local government of the state,  which monies running into millions of naira was deducted at source, from local government accounts.

The spokesperson for the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, could not be reached to comment for this story. He did not answer or return multiple calls made to him. He also did not answer a text message sent to him.

TELL GANI ADAMS TO SPEAK FOR HIMSELF....'YORUBA WILL NOT VOTE FOR BUHARI'..SAYS ADAMS

Ganiyu Adams, Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), factional leader  has told Nigeria Today that he does not agree with projections made by some pundits that Buhari will make a clean sweep of South-west by virtue of the dominance of his party in the geo-political zone, saying, “South-west is a place that you cannot use the media to deceive. We are highly exposed and highly educated.”

His words, “For you to say we should go one way, it is impossible. I don’t think that the South-west will vote for Buhari en mass. Don’t forget the pain caused by the June 12 annulment, it is still fresh in the mind of our people many died in the cause of June 12 struggle, many lost a lot of properties. I don’t think our people will trust a Hausa/Fulani man from the north this time around.”
