10th July 2023



The Federal Government has slammed an eight-count charge against former Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

Listed as the sole defendant in the suit filed by the FG through the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the former lawmaker is being accused of falsely claiming to have lost her National Youth Service Corps certificate, among other alleged offences.

According to court documents, the charge was filed on June 26, 2023, at the Federal High Court, Abuja Judicial Division by Ochugwu Ogbeh Esq. and Ibrahim Mohammed Esq. of the Legal and Prosecution Department of the EFCC in Benin, Edo state.

One of the counts read, “That you Senator Stella Oduah and D.A.O Oshinowo (at large) sometime in the year, 2017, at Federal Capital Territory, Abuja within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, did conspire amongst yourselves to commit felony to wit: Make a document titled ‘Re: Request for National Youth Service Confirmation which you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 3(6) of the miscellaneous offences Act CAF M17 of the revised edition (Laws of the Federation of Nigeria) 2007 and Punishable under section 3 (1) (c) of the same Act.

In May 2022, the NYSC, in a letter, marked NYSC/DHQ/PPRU/783/Vol III, disclosed that Oduah did not complete the mandatory one-year NYSC programme in response to an inquiry made by a group known as the Concerned Anambra North PDP Stakeholders.

The agency said Oduah commenced her NYSC programme in 1982 but absconded and denied conspiring with the former aviation minister to hide the truth.

Like Ahmed Sirika under Buhari is like Stella Uduah under Goodluck Jonathan

Very loud

Wow! So sad and worrisome, the bullet proof vehicle of $1.6 million still comes to mind. She's an example of a fantastically corrupt person from ANAMBRA STATE and probably one of the side chicks of the stealing is not corruption President.

Well, may this second episode of Oduah's gate favor me and my family.

Really, can you prove your point? Maybe I can learn from it.

Oduah is as corrupt as Tinubu

Dasuki and Brutia the former army chief of staff of the federal republic Nigeria were the biggest scammers in the history under the command of Mohamedu buhari

Well said sir. That woman is utterly corrupt hence she initially ran to the APC haven of safety. She only ran back to the PDP when she discover her Senatorial ambition is being threatened. Now they are back on her tail.

What about Tinubu that forged everything including his name, age and tribe just to deceived the illiterate and tribal Yoruba bigots

And more are still bold enough to forge.

Corruption is now part of government policy in this country, corruption everywhere, this country is doom

If found guilty, she should go in for it. We don't support bad things.

She has been collecting money with fake NYSC cert

Journey well Stella......😎

Sirika is an Aviation professional as former Pilot and he is incomparable to Oduah who literally knows nothing about aviation industry. I am sure you don't even know Sirika is a Captain

This woman will certainly spend all she has on COURT cases.....

Hang her by the jugs!

Data manipulators suing another manipulator

Tinubu is well prepared than Buhari, Obi and Atiku.

That's just the fact
