Except there’s last minute change of plan, the new Warri/Uvwie Development agency that will soon be passed into law by the Sheriff led Delta State House of Assembly, will be the new cash cow of former lawmaker, Efe Ofobruku of Uvwie local government area, SecretReporters has reliably gathered.

The agency which is an executive bill by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa is modeled after the Asaba Capital Development Authority.

According to our various sources, the bill was vehemently defended by Ofobruku, who used to be a pauper, driving a Mercedes Benz that was...

The Judge(s) charged with the responsibility of hearing and giving out judgment in civil and criminal cases as well as ensuring that the law is obeyed and justice prevails in the country has in recent times drifted from their core functions as they now use their “almighty positions” to administer wrong judgments to citizens which tends to confirm the saying that power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

This is evident in the alleged refusal by the Acting President of the Customary Court of Appeal Imo State Hon. Justice C.U. Anwukah to sign the release papers of an inmate who she sentenced to 30 days imprisonment for perjury in the Federal Prisons Owerri Imo State after completing his jail term.

Her refusal to lawfully grant release to the inmate, Chief Uju Madu who was earlier sent to prison because he allegedly refused to...

Although the erstwhile governor of Imo State Rochas Okorocha, has relinquished power to his successor Gov. Chukwuemeka Ihedioha following his victory at the polls, it appears that the can of worms which was hidden behind his administration is beginning to open.

The Free Mother and Child Hospital, Owerri which was built by the former governor and commissioned on May 23rd, 2019 by President Buhari who was represented by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo after it has been adjudged to have been completed, has proven to be a pure charade with an undisputable intent to deceive gullible Imolites into believing that he was actually expending tax payer’s money for their benefit.

Information made available to SecretReporters revealed that the Hospital which looked completed and equipped with world class facilities when...

When one would have thought that the relationship between the governor of Kogi State Yahaya Bello and President Muhammadu Buhari would transmit into massive development and leadership which will in turn better the lot of the people of Kogi State, it appears that the reverse is the case.

Information made available to SecretReporters reveals that after the controversial inauguration of Yahaya Bello as governor of Kogi State following the death of the original victor at the polls, one would have expected that the position of Deputy Governor would be heavily lobbied for due to the lucrative nature of the position of the number two citizen of the State.

However, this was not the case as...

Men of the Security Unit of the University of Calabar have arrested one Ikezue Kingsley Nnadi, a 400-level student of the Faculty of Medicine for alleged cultism and illegal possession of firearms.

The Chief Security Officer of the institution (CSO), Jarlath Abang who paraded the suspect said he was arrested at Students’ hostel, Moore Road by gallant men of the security unit who were on routine surveillance of hostels.

Abang said men of the security unit had already received intelligence reports about his nefarious activities in the hostel, a cogent reason; it swung into action and arrested him at the wee-hours of the morning.

The CSO said Ikezue who is suspected to be a cult leader had forcefully occupied the Hall Chairman’s room at...

The 10 days proposed trip for the 68 Osun State Local Government Chairmen met a brick wall few days to its scheduled commencement as the State Governor Adegboyega Oyetola through his chief press secretary, Adeniyi Adesina announced the cancelation of the trip which many believe was an Eldorado getaway for his local government chairmen especially at a time when the state government is alleged to be struggling to stabilize the state’s economy while also trying to pay backlogs of workers salaries.

In a circular with reference number CM/724 /160 dated 3rd May, 2019 and signed by W.B Ojulari for the Coordinating Director, SecretReporters gathered that an approval was made by the State Government to enable the chairmen representing the 68 Local Government Council in the state embark on an all-expense paid trip to the United Arab Emirate (UAE) In the month of June 2019.

The former special adviser on community relations in Cross River State Signor Omang Idiege has not only proven to be wearing corruption as a crown but has it as his insignia as SecretReporters learned of his alleged refusal to release the de-shelling machines delivered to him by the governor for the Bekwara Community all in a bid to convert the machines into his private property.

In fulfilling his first tenure promise of building one cottage industry across the 18 local government areas of Cross River state so as to create a viable neighborhood jobs and curb rural-urban migration and also following a report by the Channels TV Calabar correspondent, Imani Odey, of the Bekwara people requesting for machines to ease their stress of breaking groundnuts with their bare hands, this online news medium learned that early this year the governor of Cross River state took delivery of a container load of 40 Groundnuts de-shelling machines and mini compact oil extracting machines intended to be distributed to Bekwara Community.

According to governor Ayade, while imploring the chiefs and community leaders to look for choice locations for the project takeoff after the machines were said to...

While it may be almost correct to say that Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River State may have a mantra for infrastructural development and a drive for industrialization, it appears that this charade is all in the guise of grabbing lands belonging to innocent citizens and located in choice areas in order to expand his numerous personal business investments.

This is discernible in the proposed Obudu Garment factory which was initiated by Governor Ayade’s led administration in 2016 which evidently have been abandoned and converted into a private parking lot for trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles which we learned belongs to two private companies; Leophina Construction Company and Sydney Construction company allegedly owned by the governor.

The land proposed for the factory SecretReporters uncovered once housed an existing primary school known as St. Stephen Primary School which coincidentally was the same school from which the governor obtained his...

Education in Nigeria is becoming unaffordable by the day especially with the neck breaking amounts demanded from gullible students for hostel space which after been subsidized is supposed to be the last resort for those who obviously cannot afford the jaw-dropping amounts tagged for accommodations off-campus.

This menace of hostel racketeering which has become a norm in most tertiary institutions in Nigeria is also very firmly rooted not only in the University of Uyo (UNIUYO) but also in...

OPAN in a statement by President Austyn Ogannah, said the NBC decision was wrong, draconian and capable of leading the country towards autocratic rule.

It is always the dream of every Nigeria parent to see their child studying in any of the prestigious universities in the country, little wonder why they could go to any length, even if it is to part with a certain amount just to secure admission for their ward.

In a sad tale of an industrial chemistry student of the University of Jos we learned that she applied for admission through the help of a university lecturer and subsequently got an admission letter, prompting her to proceed to pay her school fees, departmental fee, student fee, faculty fee e.t.c with the lecturer dubiously aiding her all through the process.

Just like her peers, after her matriculation, she diligently faced her studies and happily continued to participate in all the school and departmental activities.

However, in her 300 level, her happy experience as an undergraduate hoping to write her final examinations the next...

Students of the Federal University Otueke have expressed their displeasure over the incessant lack of power supply to most areas within the campus which they now see as a norm on campus despite paying for this each academic year.

As the Edo State gubernatorial election begins building to a crescendo; it appears that the high-level power play that was witnessed in Lagos State which saw the ouster of the then incumbent governor of Lagos State Akinwunmi Ambode may also be replicated in Edo State.

Information made available to SecretReporters reveals that Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, who is the godfather of the All Progressive Congress in Edo State as well as the National Chairman of the party is currently at loggerheads with the incumbent Governor, Godwin Obaseki which according to sources may hinder him from picking his second term ticket in the state.

An orphan in a recent post on Facebook has threatened to commit suicide if the management of his university does not rescind the punishment meted to him and his colleagues stating that he struggled to pay school fees by himself for four years with little support from his aunties and uncles who made him go through hell before giving him any form of assistance for his education.

A 400 level student of the Federal University of Technology Owerri simply identified as Uche in this story shared an experience of how he almost joined the internet fraud business ( Yahoo ++) all in a bid to belong to the most influential, wealthy and highly esteem class of students in the campus.

According to Uche, he recently noticed that his friends right from year one suddenly began living a luxurious lifestyle as well as riding expensive cars to school.

Unknowing to him that his friends had joined the bandwagon of internet fraudsters, he genuinely requested to know the kind of business they were into as he was willing to engage in such business to at least financially support himself in school.

In response to his request, one of them told him that he will unravel the secret to their success and promised to show their business plan to him as little or no capital is required for the business startup.

A Catholic Priest in the Eastern Heartland of Nigeria has been accused of trying to use his connections, intimidating tactics and legal instruments to forcefully take a land belonging to the family of one Chief Uju Madu who is currently sitting behind prison bars all because he allegedly refused to surrender his land to the priest and his family who want an access way to their property.

Speaking to our reporter, a source disclosed that the whole charade started when the family of the priest identified as Fr Gerald Njoku bought a property in their estate and demanded for an access land to the said property which according to him had no direct bearing to chief Madu’s property housing a school that is managed by the wife.

The priest and his brother Mr Ifeanyi Njoku who we learnt were hell-bent on having their way subsequently approached the...

A few hours before Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State formally announced his unexpected appointment as Secretary to the State Government, Chiedu Ebie was lounging at home reflecting on the past four years and relishing what is now a short break from the daunting task of governance, policy and politics.

His tenure as Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, during which he led the ongoing reforms in productivity, work culture of employees, students’ performance as well as infrastructure, was a success.

Though Ebie, 48, was one of the appointees tipped to return as a Commissioner because of his sterling performance in the strategic Education ministry, no one saw this new appointment coming; not even those in the governor’s inner circle.

I know this because my sources in that government remain authoritative despite my decision to keep a distance from the affairs of the state for personal reasons.

It is not surprising that Ebie’s emergence as Okowa’s pick for this strategic office has elicited mostly positive...
