- A report by Sahara Reporters against Senator Stella Oduah may have been false after-all - The former minister was said to have purchased the property in 2012 - She however described the details of the report as false, emphasizing that the documents provided and the information given about the house did not add up The report of an online medium Sahara Reporters alleging that former aviation Minister Stella Oduah procured a property for $1.2 million has proven to be false. According to a document obtained by our correspondent, the allegations by the medium seem to be false as the details given about the said property did not tally with the document obtained from the UK department of Lands. Both the cost of the house and the time it was acquired did not tally with the details on the document which is an extract from the UK lands Department. Sahara Reporters alleged that the house which was kept secret was blown in the open when Oduah who is now a senator representing Anambra decided to put the house up for rent.

According to the document, the title number for the house that is in Oduah’s name is NGL860208 while Sahara reporters gave theirs as NGL834683. The registered address of the house allegedly bought by Oduah was given by the medium as 22 to 37 Monck Street, 84 Horseferry Road and 65 Great Peter Street, London. However, the land document obtained gives the property address as Apartment 209, Cavendish House, 31 Monck Street, London (SW1P 2AS). Sahara reporters quoted the registered owner as: ADRIATIC LAND 4 LIMITED, incorporated in Guernsey in the United Kingdom. Registration No. 56274, of Mont Crevelt House, Bulwer Avenue, St. Sampson, Guernsey, GY2 4LH. However the document obtained shows the registered owner as: STELLA ADAEZE ODUAH of Longacre, St. Leonards Hill, Windsor SL4 4AL.

While Sahara Reporters quoted that the house was bought for £1,155,000 million, the property registered in Oduah’s name was bought for £700,000. Sahara reporters also alleged that the property was bough while she was the minister of Aviation, but the title document obtained from the UK Lands Office showed that Stella Oduah bought her London property in 2005, 6 years before she was made a minister of Aviation in 2011. The online medium also attached a picture of a tenancy agreement allegedly made by Sen. Oduah in March 2017. But rather than carry the address of the property which the medium alleged the minister bough for 1.2 million pounds (22 to 37 Monck Street, 84 Horseferry Road and 65 Great Peter Street, London.), the tenancy agreement bore the address of the original property belonging to Mrs Oduah and which was bought for 700,000 pounds in 2005 (Apartment 209, Cavendish House, 31 Monck Street, London (SW1P 2AS).

Evidently, the report of the medium does not correspond with what the document shows. In a hurry to put out falsehood, Sahara Reporters also failed to align the currency: while the figure in its report was in dollars, the figure on the document which it quoted was in pounds sterling. Meanwhile, Mrs Oduah who was an aspirant in the forthcoming governorship election in Anambra, had threatened withdrawal from the race, alleging irregularities in Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) build-up to the primary election. Oduah made this known while briefing newsmen on Friday in Abuja. She said that the Ward congress of the party held on Wednesday to elect three delegates per ward was fraught with “irregularities and sabotage’’.

We are not surprised. That's afonja media for you...targets Biafraans. Only God knows all the stories against Diezani are fake. Hope she sues them

So thr quoted price is different, does she own it or not? Did she buy it or not?

Those who "mastubated" on the "media" fight against corruption by efcc and buhari administration should feel very shameful right now...

Some do not read before making comments.
Look up there,you would understand,but let me help.
"Sahara Reporters also alleged that the property was bought while she was the minister of Aviation, but the title document obtained from the UK Lands Office showed that Stella Oduah bought her London property in 2005, 6 years before she was made a minister of Aviation in 2011."

Oduah did the best for her nation,and i also understand she was into money before politics,even though I have certain reservations on the administration she served.
The media didn't help us in 2015,by calling black,white and vice-versa.I believe we are politically mature to decipher falsehood now,unless we choose not to.
The EFCC must get serious with business,and should also remember no convictions yet.What happened to the Oke and Lawal Report?dead and gone?
These are trying times.Democracy is all about debate and rule of law,let us remember where we are coming from so as to know where we are headed.

Who takes those uneducated Sahara reporters serious.

Sahara reporters, dishing out trash, just for cheap traffick.
