Edo Council Boss Arraigned For Contract Scam by 247frolicboss(m): 10:06am On Feb 06, 2016
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Friday arraigned the chairman of Akoko Edo Local Government Area of Edo State, Akerejola Folorunsho, on a 12-count charge of criminal conspiracy running into millions of naira, before Justice E.A Edigin of the Edo State High Court, Benin city.

Others arraigned alongside Mr. Folorunsho on the same charges were Ogbekhiulu Benjamin, Enabulele Ferguson, John Oyana, Victor Ewelafoh, Gadimoh Ozavesh and Amuda Balogun.

The six accused, in various capacities, allegedly inflated contracts and forged documents for projects executed in the council.

The projects in question are renovation and re-opening of Erhurun Maternity, procurement of three transformers, procurement of six Toyota Buses for mass transit and installation of 300kVA transformer at Sasaro village.

The accused persons pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Prosecution counsel, Steve Odiase, then asked the court for a date for hearing.

why will they not do as they like when the brief monkey in the name of a governor in that state wouldn't concentrate on managing his state, but goes around searching for everything in skirt. and when a no is the answer, allegations without base become the order of the day. NOI will bear me witness. In other news, I heard Edo children now receive their classes on top of trees. can someone confirm that.

EFCC are into inhouse recruitment. They dont publicise thier vacancy. They give slut to ministers and advisers to the president to present their candidate for recruitment.
