The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, yesterday, charged a previous Coordinator of Afikpo South Local Government Development Center of Ebonyi State, Ugwuocha Okoroafor, before Justice E.A. Ngene of the state High Court, Afikpo, on a 15-check charge of trick and taking of open assets totalling over N25,000,000.00.
Likewise charged with him were his treasurer, Christian Chukwu Owo, and the managerial officer, Mrs. Anne Eke Agwu Okoroafor and his claimed assistants were said to have at different times, somewhere around 2013 and 2015, raised vouchers for installments as far as anyone knows for contract grants, pay rates and freedom day festivities in the names of staff of the chamber, who denied getting such subsidizes.
Examination concerning the matter, which was accounted for by Center for Prevention of Corruption and Human Right Initiatives and some staff of the chamber, asserted that the blamed persons cushioned their pay rates and that of other staff, in conspiracy with a staff of the bank where the neighborhood government's record was domiciled.
N16,000,000 and N8,000,000 were at various times followed to the blamed individual's record which their salary profile couldn't legitimize. At the point when the charges were perused to them, all the blamed persons argued not blameworthy, inciting direction to the denounced persons, M.O. Njoko and B.O. Igwenyi (SAN) to request that the court discharge their customers on safeguard.
