Alleged N3bn Scam: APC Governor Orders Release Of PDP Spokesman From Detention

The Governor of Ebonyi State, Francis Nwifuru has directed the immediate release of Mr. Chima Nwoba, the Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), from detention.

This directive was conveyed during a Holy Mass at the Government House Chapel in Abakaliki on Sunday.

In his address, Governor Nwifuru instructed the Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Mr. Oguzor Offia-Nwali, to exercise leniency and consider withdrawing the case against Chika Nwoba.

 Additionally, he urged the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Mrs. Grace Umezurike, to comply with the court’s decision regarding Chika Nwoba’s bail by serving as a surety to ensure he meets the bail conditions.

Chima Nwoba had been held in detention since February following his petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) concerning alleged embezzlement of N3 billion earmarked for empowerment by Commissioner Offia-Nwali.
