REVEALED: AIG Mbu, Cop Sam Chukwu Planningto Rig Elections In S'west by KORLAR(m): 10:32pm On Feb 28, 2015
Several police and political sources have told
SaharaReporters that Sam Chukwu, a sinister
police officer reputed for masterminding a group
of rogue policemen who carried out kidnapping,
armed robbery and other major crimes in Enugu
State, was recently promoted and deployed to
Lagos in order to fortify a team of senior police
officers charged with helping the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) carry out massive rigging
in Lagos State and other southwest states. Our
police sources named Mr. Chukwu, who is linked
to a major kidnap and murder case in Enugu, as
a key player in the scheme, whose leader is
Assistant Inspector General of Police Joseph Mbu.
“Sam Chukwu is one of the biggest criminals in
the police force. That is why Sir Mike Okiro gave
him promotion and sent him to Lagos in
January,” a top police source at police
headquarters in Abuja told SaharaReporters in a
telephone interview. The officer, who said he and
numerous other officers were incensed at the
increasing use of police officers for illegal
assignments, added, “Instead of sacking Sam
Chukwu, they have sent him to Lagos today to
join the operation of rigging election.”
Prosecutors in Enugu State have accused Mr.
Chukwu of being the sponsor of a ring of
kidnappers who once menaced the state capital
of Enugu and its surrounding areas. Mr. Chukwu
and his team of rogue officers were reportedly
responsible for the September 2009 kidnap and
presumed murder of Lotachukwu (Lota) Ezeudu,
a 19-year old second year accountancy student
at the University of Nigeria, Enugu campus. One
of the junior officers involved in the kidnapping
ring, Ernest Okeke, is in detention undergoing
trial, but another key player, Desmond
Chinwuba, remains in hiding.
Mr. Chukwu himself went into hiding for more
than a year and a half to evade a summons to
stand trial in the case. His failure to appear in
court led Justice Afam Nwobodo to issue a
warrant for his arrest, with his name appearing
on wanted posters pasted in Enugu and his
hometown of Aninri in Awgu local government
area.
For close to two years, police authorities claimed
they were unaware of Mr. Chukwu’s
whereabouts. But in July of 2014, with days left
before his retirement, former Inspector General
of Police Mohammed Abubakar reinstated the
fugitive cop and posted him to the headquarters
of the southeast command to assume the post of
provost.
At the end of 2014, the Police Service
Commission headed by Mike Okiro, a former IG of
Police, included Mr. Chukwu’s name on a list of
officers promoted to assistant commissioner. In a
secretive scheme, the commission failed to
release the names of all promoted officers, a
move meant to hide the inclusion of Mr.
Chukwu’s name, according to a senior police
source in Abuja.
With his promotion, Mr. Chukwu was posted to
Lagos. Several police sources in the state and
Abuja have disclosed that Mr. Chukwu’s
assignment is to help coordinate the harassment
of voters and a series of electoral practices aimed
at helping the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to
rig the forthcoming elections in Lagos and other
southwest states. One officer disclosed that Mr.
Okiro had selected a special team of officers with
a criminal reputation and sent them to work with
Mr. Mbu to help the PDP manipulate polls in the
southwest. Top PDP officials, including Bode
George and former Minister of State for Defense
Musiliu Obanikoro, reportedly pressed President
Goodluck Jonathan to sign off on the ambitious
rigging plan, arguing that the ruling party may
not be able to retain power at the center without
carrying a few southwest states.
Our sources said, since his January 2015
deployment to Lagos, Mr. Chukwu has been part
of a group that meets frequently with
controversial Assistant Inspector General Joseph
Mbu to strategize about rigging the elections
scheduled to begin March 28. Our sources said
Mr. Okiro, Mr. Mbu and Mr. Chukwu were in
league on the rigging scheme, adding that the
accused kidnap kingpin had become notorious in
Enugu State where he helped rig elections for
former Governor Chimaraoke Nnamani and
current deputy president of the Senate, Ike
Ekweremadu.
“He meets with AIG [Mbu] and it is understood
that their job is to prepare the Mopol and others
they will use to rig,” one of our sources in Lagos
claimed. An Abuja-based police source added
that many officers continued to question the
reinstatement of Sam Chukwu, and his
deployment to Lagos to work with Mr. Mbu, an
officer known for his reckless willingness to do
the bidding of President Goodluck Jonathan and
his wife, Patience Jonathan. As a commissioner of
police in Rivers State, Mr. Mbu virtually went to
war against Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi
who had a political quarrel with the president
and his wife.
Other sources said Mr. Chukwu has a reputation
for spearheading electoral fraud. An Enugu-
based businessman told SaharaReporters that it
was well known in Enugu that Mr. Chukwu was
often hired to rig elections for politicians. He said
the rogue officer owns numerous houses in the
Trans-Ekulu area of Enugu, adding that the
properties were acquired from the officer’s
criminal activities.
In August 2005, Mr. Chukwu, who was then the
DPO at Ogui police station, was accused of
ordering the execution of a young man, Chinedu
Ani, at the behest of a then member of the House
of Representatives U.S.A. Igwesi. An Enugu-
based lawyer familiar with the case told our
correspondent that Mr. Chukwu sent two police
officers after two young men who had had a
verbal encounter with the legislator. The
policemen cornered the young men in their car
and opened fire, killing one and seriously
wounding the other.
The horrific daylight execution by the police,
which happened near ACB Bank on Ogui Road,
Enugu, sparked public protests. Then Governor
Chimaraoke Nnamani of Enugu State set up a
panel headed by Justice Ken Ezeike to
investigate the police attack. Even though the
panel submitted a report, Mr. Nnamani’s
government failed to issue a white paper. An
Enugu-based lawyer accused then Governor
Nnamani of bowing to pressure from Senator
Ekweremadu and other politicians in the state to
shield Mr. Chukwu from blame.
A human rights activist in Lagos said his group
was monitoring the activities of Mr. Mbu and Mr.
Chukwu, adding that it would take vigilance on
the part of all citizens to ensure that nobody can
sabotage the wishes of the electorate.

For pro-GEJites the 2015 campaign is about Buhari, Buhari and Buhari. For pro- GMBites the 2015 campaign is about Nigeria, Nigeria & Nigeria.

Questions for Jonathan and PDP
1. Why was (is) "Boko Haram" busy destroying
states and areas that the opposition party will
win convincingly in the presidential election?
2. If we are to believe that the opposition were
the brains and architects of "Boko Haram",
then why is it that they have never ever
attacked and destroyed any prominent PDP
figure or their properties?
3. If the opposition have the capability of
arming "terrorists" with armour tanks, RPGs,
AA Guns, military uniforms, military trucks,
helicopters and the ability to command
soldiers to vanish from military checkpoints,
wouldn't they have targeted to destroy PDP
strongholds and their assets?
4. Why would the opposition seek to destroy
their own strongholds anyway? To achieve
what?
5. Why was (is) "Boko Haram" targeting to
destroy basically only prominent northern
politicians and their traditional rulers and their
communities?
6. In the light of questions 1 to 5 above, why
has there been a deliberate campaign of lies
and propaganda by the PDP and their religious
wing that collect bribes in billions of naira that
"Boko Haram" is the baby of the opposition?
7. Of all the cars used by "suicide" bombers
retrieved from the scene of their attacks, to
whom were the cars traced after forensic
investigations? Why is it that nothing is ever
heard after such evidences have been collated
at the scenes since 2011?
8. At the last count, over 500 hundred "Boko
Haram" suspects have been in detention since
2009, but why is it that government hasn't
been able to come clean on those sponsoring
the "terrorists", and why is it that, with such a
huge treasure trove, government has not been
able to know and curtail the operational
methods of the "terrorists"?
9. Why did the "terrorists" become stronger
after a scandalous 33 billion dollars (over 4
trillion naira) was expended on the so called
war against them?
10. Isn't it curious and suspicious that a
ragtag group called "Boko Haram" whose bulk
of fighters possibly had only one week
trainings could overcome and overrun our
military men who spend 5 years in the NDA,
some months in Jaji, and some months also
at the National War College in Abuja apart
from several overseas trainings?
11. Why was it that, at a point from 2013, the
Nigerian military was not taking the war to
"Boko Haram" camps in the deserts of the
northeast instead of waiting for "Boko Haram"
to come on the offensive?
12. Since when has repulsion become the best
form of defence instead of attack?
13. Why did "Boko Haram" have the most
freedom to operate and destroy so many
towns and villages during all the period of
State of Emergency that was supposed to have
made them immobile?
14. Was the State of Emergency some fraud
pulled off to empower the "terrorists" and
make the targeted communities sitting ducks
for easy elimination?
15. Who was providing "Boko Haram" with fuel
and other logistics in their camps considering
how they easily move with long convoys of
trucks to operate without challenge?
These are not the only questions.... There are
many more. But they've not been able to
answer any of these, rather they always want
to heap their scheme on others.
These questions and many more could be the
reason they are mortally scared of losing
political power. But it just can't continue like
this anymore.
Change is a basic constant in life.
