ABUJA — Former member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Chudi Offodile, has dragged Anambra State government before a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, alleging that a company owned by the family of Governor Peter Obi was used to divert about N5billion from the state treasury.

The plaintiff, who listed the said company, Next International Limited and six others as defendants in the matter, further maintained that part of the siphoned funds were used by the governor to establish Sabmiller Breweries situated in Onitsha.

Other defendants in the matter are Intafact Beverages Limited, Sabmiller Nigeria Holdings BV, Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

In the suit which he filed through his counsel, Mr. Patrick Ikwueto, SAN, Offodile, was, among other things, seeking a declaration that the brewery (Intafact Brewery) established by the first defendant, Intafact Beverages Limited, is a
bon afide property of and wholly belongs to the government of Anambra State.

He equally prayed the court for an order directing the 1st, 2nd and 3rd defendants to render full and complete account of the operation including the costs of the establishment of the brewery, opened with monies belonging to the government of Anambra State and known as Intafact Brewery, Onitsha Anambra State.

Besides, Offodile, further asked the court for an order directing the 5th defendant (Corporate Affairs Commission) to rectify the records of the 1st defendant by removing the names of the 2nd and 3rd defendants as the shareholders/directors of the 1stdefendant.

In what he termed as the particulars of the alleged fraud, Offodile averred that as at April 12, 2011, the 1st defendant did not have 300 shares of N100, 000 each purportedly allotted and as represented by the written resolution of the Board of Directors of Intafact Beverages Limited dated April 12, 2012.

Offodile further stated that “at the Commissioning of the Brewery, His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Anambra State openly stated that the value of the investment by the government of Anambra State in the Brewery is in excess of N2billion.”

The matter has been assigned to Justice M.L.Mohammed of the high court who has fixed April 30 for hearing.

This is a clear indication that there are no clean politicians in the country. All the past governors except GEJ had been linked to one case of financial mismanagement or the other. Are we really moving forward?

Akuko na Egwu Mike Ejiagha .

Even if he has stolen over 100 billion, He will not be found guilty. That Man is too a big fish to be caught by a little boys hook. I'm not his fan, i must confess that he's too street smart.


Meanwhile, Try a bottle of HERO today and your life will never remain the same. You will be Stronger than Superman, smarter than Batman, more ability to spray webs than spydaman and save the world 10 times more than BEN 10 ever did.
In fact, you will be a real life HERO . ^{Be a HERO for only 150 a bottle}

.

Story others take their investments outside d shores of our country no body wl talk bt Mr Obi is bringing employment and industrialization and some ppl are talking arrant nonsense.Ka mu nweta kwa unu.bia bar man make it 4 bottles of hero 4 me and my friends.

well maybe by the next one or two years now everybody in Anambra might be suffering from alcoholism and some people will be smiling to the bank calling themselves wise and the rest foolish drunkards. Still i want all these NL ministers of information for Anambra State to render me some clarifications before somebody brandishes this accusation a political machination again to discredit a political opponent.

Waste of time...

Habiolar: It'll b more Dan 36, wht of all d vice, senators,house of reps, chairman. All wht death penalty. Infact I dnt know chairman of my area talkless of seeing his achievement.

Me too, I do not know the name of my LG chairman too. That's why I blame GEJ for not tarring the road to my village stream, and the one going to my mother's cocoyam farm.

Peter OBI is yet to achive anything physically in anambra state. I wonder what will be the selling point of APGA in their upcoming campaign

done

IMHO if all Nigerian politicians invested their loots at home, we wouldn't be this poor.

tell the rural dwellers in the state that.

Problem with Africa is nothing but bad leadership, most politicians see themselves as opportunist,there to better their lives,at the expense of the people.

Revolution is imminent.

Another attempt on Peter!! people should first of all enquire about this man called chudi Offodile, a failed politician who lost APGA ticket for house of Reps!!! Here is a professional politician trying to damage Obi's image, like others he has already failed.And for anybody believing this garbage lawsuit, time will tell like the failed 250million naira accusation by the same Offodile. Ican now confirm that Chudi is jobless... too bad for him

asha 80: tell the rural dwellers in the state that.

you have been peddling this your rural dwellers story from one thread to another. Can you kindly tell us what Peter obi has achieved in the rural areas?

Na dem sabi

if all governors have been stealing our money and using it to build their own company here in Nigeria,unemployment wont be this high..if the claim is true about peter obi well its bad but kudos to him for building the said factories in Anambra haters should try river Niger.
