OBONO-OBLA, OYO-ITA IN HOT WATERS


  
Two prominent Nigerians, Mrs. Winifred Ekanan Oyo-Ita and Okoi Obono-Obla are in deep waters.  Reason: they have stepped into forbidden territories.

Mrs. Oyo-Ita, currently head of Service is in the net for alleged N3 billion contract scam.  She is also under spotlight for abuse of duty tour allowance for which about N600 million had been traced.  She is also alleged to have used different fronts or   associates   to obtain contracts from Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

Obono-Obla, following allegations of misconduct, abuse of office, intimidation forgery and malicious investigation was ordered suspended by President Muhammadu Buhari, Obonoi-Obla was the Chairman, Special Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property.  What irked the President most was Obla’s involvement in the secondment of over 100 policemen to SPIP and engaging lawyers to file charges without recourse to the Attorney-General’s office.  The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) are believed to have waded into the matter.

However, reporters attached to the Newspaperman are worried on the haste to dig into Oyo-Ita’s affairs coming not too long after the Abdulrasheed Maima’s saga, when he was allegedly smuggled back into the Civil Service.

Officials of the Newspaperman are however wondering at the rise of corruption even amongst those who claim to be easy going only to end up having billions discovered in their accounts.

2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS SHOCKING REVELATIONS ABOUT FUNDS DISBURSEMENT

How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent.   However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total.   The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice.   Causing the rumble.

As down to earth investigating Journalist, we travel a lot and wish to bring to your notice certain critical roads that need your urgent attention. One of them is the Lokoja-Okene highway.  Honorable Minister, the continued state of this road is a serious indictment and slap on the face of whoever is the Director of Federal Highways in your Ministry.  This major artery, as important as it is, has caused several unnecessary loss of lives.  There is simply no excuse for this road to remain in this dangerous state two years into the tenure of this administration.  What then differentiates the APC Government from the PDP, if not prompt attention to vital national assets?
