Governor Ikpeazu Tax Fraud: The Underlying Evidence by Controversialad: 12:19pm On Apr 05, 2016
WHY COME UP WITH A CASE AFTER LOOSING?

I don't wish to go circular with my report and research. For Months now the case of Governor Ikpeazu of Tax Fraud has been splashed through the media. Can we start with the obvious questions. let us back date a bit;

A PDP chieftain and governorship aspirant in the December 8, 2014 PDP primaries in Abia state, Sir Friday Nwosu had shortly after the primary election won by Ikpeazu approached the Federal High Court accusing him (Ikpeazu) of forging the tax certificates he submitted to the electoral body.

QUESTION
Why did he(Friday Nwosu) withheld the accusation till after the primaries which he lost?
In other words; assuming Friday Nwosu won the primaries, this accusation might not have happened even if it was the truth. (Nigerians wake up)
Again;

While the matter was going on, the presiding Judge, Justice M. S. Shuaibu was transferred to Kaduna. However, the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court directed him to hear and conclude the matter in his Owerri, Imo State former division.

QUESTION
Why was Justice M.S. Shaibu all of a sudden transferred to Kaduna?
Even though he was still in charge of the case, why the transfer. I sense foul play already but let us continue with the examination (wait ooo, are you telling me that you are not seeing the obvious loophole?)

Oh ok, hear this;
However, when the matter came up on Friday, March 18, 2016, at the Federal High Court, Owerri Division, for the adoption of written addresses by parties, Ikpeazu’s lawyer, Mr. Casmir Elele informed Justice Shuaibu that the order directing him to hear and conclude the matter has been revoked by the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Abuja, an information that surprised the Judge who has not been informed by the Chief Judge.

QUESTION
How come? How can an ordinary Attorney be in charge of an information concerning all?
Ohhhh! This is really embarrassing.
As a party interested in the poor exploited masses, I rather jubilate on how two elephants are busy killing themselves but on second thought, 'Na we the grass dey suffer am ooh'.
I remember that it is our resources these hoodlums are using to run their personal selfish interest.

Ngwanu hear grammar from Justice Shaibu;
'He therefore promised to probe to know how Elele was the only person who has the information which neither he nor the applicant and his lawyers have, saying that he would find out if the lawyer of his principal had been having communication with his boss, the Chief Judge of Federal High Court'.
Justice Shuaibu adjourned the matter to Thursday 28th April, 2016, to enable him confirm from the Chief Judge if there was an order directing him to hands off the matter.

QUESTION
Bikonu, who is fooling who in this country?
If this case were to involve an average Nigerian, will these long procedures be put in place?
Wait ooo, seems we are really enjoying this evil actors in justice regalia. It is obvious money has exchanged hands but why ridicule the Justice system of a whole country where poor man rely on for proper justice?

Just read further to see how Nwosu fooled himself further;

Meanwhile, the applicant [Nwosu] on his own has petitioned the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Ibrahim Auta, seeking to confirm whether he revoked the order he granted Justice M.S. Shuaibu to hear and conclude the tax forgery case against Governor Okezie Ikpeazu. “In my humble view, there is no way C.C Elele should be in possession of any order revoking Your Lordship’s fiat granted in my favour, when I do not have any copy or any knowledge about it.

“The Judge, lawyers and everybody in the court were very surprised how Barrister C. C. Elele was the one informing Hon. Justice Shuaibu of official information which Your Lordship, the Honourable Chief Judge should communicate to him if it exists.

Again, between Monday 14th March 2016 and today 18th March 2016, nothing happened and no party complained against Hon. Justice Shuaibu to the best of my knowledge. “What could have happened, and what could have warranted revocation of My Lord’s fiat if any, and how could My Lord have sent Barrister Casmir .C. Elele (3rd Defendant’s Counsel) to come and announce same to the Court and to us publicly in the circumstances”, Nwosu said in the petition.”

Gbangan!
Oya make una continu dey fool una sef.
This report is one among million other reports that would be swept under the carpet as usual. The fact that we sit back, fold hands and complain remains the main reason these hoodlums would continue to loot our money and demand us to prais them while doing so!
Arise great men and women of Integrity! Arise and demand for Accountability and Transparency in Government. If you keep mute, they will keep looting!
Today Oyo is issuing ultimatum for salaries owed! what might happen to other tomorrow would be unimaginable if we continue to watch.

Now see more reactions from Vanguard Report;

‘I won’t withdraw forgery case against Ikpeazu’

UMUAHIA—CHIEF Friday Nwosu, who dragged Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State to court over alleged forged tax certificates, has vowed to continue with the matter despite “attacks and intimidation organised against him.” Nwosu said he remained “resolute and undaunted, in spite of official and clannish attempts to appease him for an out-of-court settlement of the suit.”
