the House of Representatives, (names withheld) has been declared
wanted by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission EFCC, for duping
a Business man of funds running into millions of Naira.
The Business man cum politician who took refuge in his village, Amaike
Mbieri, in Mbaitoli LGA to evade the security personnel was said to
have been shocked when he learnt that his pursuers had trailed him to
his ancestral home and escaped by scaling the fence of the building,
and headed to his Owerri residence, only to encounter another set of
security operatives, and has since gone underground.
The EFCC in a publication in one of the National Dailes of Tuesday may
5, 2015 edition declared the former Lawmaker wanted. In the
publication EFCC said that he is "wanted in a case of criminal breach
of trust and obtaining the sum of N10, 500,000 (Ten million, five
hundred thousand naira only) under pretence".
The crime Body went on to say that he "speaks Igbo and English
language fluently. His last known address is No. 54 Dennis Osadebe
Street, Apo Legislative Quarters, Abuja".
However, many of Imo citizens, who saw the picture of the former
Lawmaker on the EFCC wanted list were surprised and disappointed
because the politician lately added.
"Evangelist" to his name, calming that he is now a man of God, out
winning Souls and urged many who came across him to repent for the
Kingdom of God is at hand.
It therefore baffled many Imolites who are finding it difficult to
situate his present predicament in the hands of EFCC and Christianity,
which has led many people to believe that he was just posturing and
looking for whom to trap.
This same fellow escaped lynching from mob attack during the hay days
of "Otokoto riot" as he was accused as one of those who made life
miserable for innocent citizens.
He however escaped and surfaced to win election as a member of House
of Representatives in 1999, which many said he used to polish his
smeared image.
He tried to be a Governor in 2011 election but failed. By this time
many had thought he has changed, but the latest encounter with EFCC
proves the saying that Leopard cannot change its spots.
