A former national auditor of the Peoples Democratic Party, Barrister Ray Nnaji, has asked an Enugu Federal High Court to compel the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to investigate the immediate past governor of Enugu State, Sullivan Chime.

The suit, which was brought pursuant to Order 34 and 56 (1) of the FHC (Civil Procedure) Rules 2009, the EFCC Act, and the Freedom of Information Act, followed the failure of the anti-graft agency to act on a petition in which Nnaji sought the investigation of several allegations of official corruption against Chime.

The allegations include misappropriation, embezzlement, stealing, forgery, and criminal conversion of public property which Chime was said to have committed while in office between 2007 and 2015.

Justice D. V. Agishi of the Enugu FHC had earlier on July 2, granted Nnaji leave to file the application before the court.

Apart from the EFCC, other parties joined as respondents in the suit, which have been slated for hearing on July 16, are the Code of Conduct Bureau, Chime, and his brothers Nnamdi Chime, Tochukwu Chime, and Jide Chime, the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, as well as Chime’s former chief of staff, Mrs. Ifeoma Nwobodo.

Other respondents are one Mrs. Mary Orji, former managing director of Enugu State Housing Development Corporation, and current state PDP chairman, Ikeje Asogwa, former commissioner of lands, and current member of the House of Representatives, Chukwuemeka Ujam, the accountant-general of Enugu State, the attorney-general of the federation and minister of justice, the national assembly, and the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Nnaji also wants the court to compel the EFCC to prosecute Chime, after the investigation.

He is equally asking the court to order the CCB to release to him, the certified true copies of the declaration of assets form filed by Chime before he assumed office as Enugu State governor.

In the alternative, he asked the court to order the National Assembly to, as a matter of urgency, release the terms and conditions upon which the CCB will afford the copies of the asset declaration forms to the EFCC, through him, to assist the anti-graft agency in its investigation.

Also, Nnaji is asking the court to order the RMAFC to release to the EFCC, comprehensive details of Chime’s personal emoluments, including allowances, as governor of Enugu State from June 2007 to May 2015.

Nnaji equally asked the court to order the AGF to give him a written authority to prosecute Chime, on behalf of the Office of the AGF, in the event that the EFCC is not ready to prosecute.

Addressing journalists on Tuesday, Nnaji disclosed that he was invited to the EFCC headquarters in Abuja, where he adopted his petition against Chime.

He expressed satisfaction that, at last, the anti-graft agency has started taking action on the petition.

“The EFCC invited me, I was at their office in Abuja on July 9. I spent two hours with them and adopted my petitions against Chime and Nwobodo.

“At the end of the day they said they will take further actions, but that I should forward any further information I have to them.

“The matter is in court, if the EFCC refuses to prosecute, I urged the court to direct the AGF to give me the fiat to prosecute.

“I will be very happy to see Chime prosecuted, if he is prosecuted those in public office now will do things differently, especially with public funds,” Nnaji said.

Nnaji wondered why the anti-graft agency should wait for petitions before taking action.

He said, “By now Chime should have been visiting them regularly.

“They (EFCC) have a zonal office in Enugu, I believe by now they should have gotten preliminary information http://www.punchng.com/news/ex-pdp-national-auditor-seeks-chimes-probe-prosecution/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter how the man cannibalised the state.”

POT BELLY @THE EXTREME LEFT

......That one fit carry gun?

Why is hazyfm laughing?

Dude was busy organizing and buhari was busy typing his sack letter. Baba go-slow should have given him time to rest after such a long meeting

For kayode Fayemi to have lost the election means that the people of Ekiti rejected him. He should leave Ayo fayose and the people of Ekiti and hold on tightly to Baba go-slow, Maybe baba will appoint him as the chief-cow herder of Nigeria

......He plunged the state into unserviceable debt, he should not pretend to be a saint.



....Dont mind the yaba dropout below me, it aint his fault.

nwadiuko1:
u r so so wrong

Okay

Buhari should distance himself from Tinubu and now Amechi, if 2015 reach na you go campaign for am. Only God know what kind of chronic infliction the brains of you saTANoids are suffering from.

Its only a low IQ individual that will liken any post against APC as partisan.

....please go and pick your brain from where ever you left it and stop disgracing yourself online.

One thing that am sure of is that Ikpeazu won't last in Abia state government house. I pray the judiciary lives up to expectation.

Whoever posts next must be thinking with the Anus.

No matter how, Nigerians only ask for one thing, an end to our security concerns.



......That aside, Buhari please dont grant Boko haram Amnesty, you will ruin your 4 years if you dare it.

No matter how much you try to coat it, any honest person will agree with me that buhari is highly tribalised and a religious bigot.

I think Rotimi Amaechi is the most selfish politician Nigeria ever knew, Once his selfish political agenda wotjs for him, he doesnt care about the effect it will have on the citizenry. Buhari is betterof distancing Amaechi from his government.

If Kayode Fayemi is corrupt please convict him, If GEJ is corrupt please convict him. We have to start having a clear cut priority in this country.Nobody should be bigger than the law.

Go get a life and prevent Buhari-hatred induced heart attack.

This 10 this, 10 that is fast loosing meaning on nairaland.

Wrong section

Oya nah!!!! Let Saraki impeach him then.

Stale news.....Thank God all the same

Why can't the UNITY group faction of the senate bury the hatchet and work with whoever is the senate president towards giving Nigerians a positive change. Politicians have to start learning where to draw a line between governance and politics. Besides, the senate should visit the perm.sec with the full weight of the law.

.....Op is now drawing boko haram's attention to this gate. besides there is nothing exceptional about it, its just another ornamental project that easily carries nigerians attention away from the real dividends of democracy.
