A Nigerian pilot has narrated how the money approved for his flight school scholarship was looted twice when Senator T.A Orji was the Governor of Abia state, just after report of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission tracing billions to the accounts of the former Governor’s son, Chinedum Orji who is now the Speaker of Abia House of Assembly went viral.
The money was uncovered after a group, Fight Corruption: Save Nigeria Group filed a petition against the former Governor and his son on March 17, 2017. T.A. Orji who served two terms as governor between 2007 and 2011 and now represents Abia Central Senatorial district, was accused of withdrawing N500 million monthly as security vote from the state’s treasury during his eight years in office.
The group accused T.A. Orji of diverting ”N383 billion revenue from the Federation Account, N55 billion Excess Crude revenue, N2.3 billion Sure-P revenue, N1.8 billion ecological funds, N10.5 billion loan, N12 billion Paris Club refund, N2 billion agricultural loan, and N55 billion ASOPADEC money while in office”, and also accused Chinedum Orji of owning about 100 accounts in different banks.
EFCC’s Spokesperson, Tony Orilade confirmed that the two politicians were released on administrative bail and also revealed that it took them 3 years to commence investigation after the petition was filed because they were only following official protocols.
