With the advent of President Buhari’s government in 2015 and most recently in 2019 we had heaved a sign of relief that the looting of the NDDC would be stopped and past culprit investigated and brought to book. However, today marks the existence of a much more corrupt and looted NDDC under the very watchful governance of the same man that we had thought, fought and risked being killed by our own kith and kin while voting for him in 2015.
The NDDC has been crippled and its just politics that is why the moribund interventionist agency has not been declared insolvent…. YET! With all shades of criminals working together under the guise of IMC, APC Party chieftains, Contractors, Directors, staff and stealing brazenly through the main slimy source called EMERGENCY PROJECTS!!!
It beats us to see that a government such as one under president Buhari that preaches anti corruption would allow and approve such illegality called emergency projects and in recent years turn a blind eye from all the wanton looting that has brought the NDDC to its knees, thereby giving an explicit impression, he or associates around him are beneficiaries of this same harm done to the Niger delta people and the nation at large.
The greatest heist that was carried out in the NDDC spanned the tenure between Nsima Ekere Management led board to the present Ilegal IMC, with Prof Nelson Brambaifa led IMC being the most brazen to have looted over one (1) Trillion naira and shared between himself, Samuel Adjogbe (ED. Projects at that time), Christopher and David Brambaifa (his sons), Anne Brambaifa (His wife), General Charles (Corrupt Army General incharge of security) and Nnamdi Okykar (a highly corrupt contractor and major conduit they used). These following individuals milked the NDDC dry using the same technique of over inflating the Bill of engineering, measurements and evaluations (BEME) of all the emergency road projects and desilting works with each projects padded with over 500million naira in some instances of tax payers money.
The heist was not complete without the active assistance of some highly corrupt yet rich members of staff that have stolen billions over the years and which incudes, Engr. Eyo Etteh (Ag. Director UIDW by then), Mr. Abraham Odukwu (Asst Director PMS seconded to UIDW), Mr. Kingsley Oboh (Principal Manager UIDW), Mr. Chidi Nwankwo (Asst. Director Finance by then), Engr. Emma Audu (Director PMS by then)
These corrupt set of staff masterminded and guided the criminals that were mentioned above into looting the commission dry through mutilation of the BEME and in some cases outright certification and approval for payment of desilting projects that were never executed.
It has been discovered that the present IMC under Prof. Pondei is paying for the emergency roads and desilting projects for brambaifa and adjogbe after negotiating and collecting a percentage in bribes of the same loot.
Several petitions have been written and published exposing these aforementioned individuals with leads given to the EFCC, ICPC, DSS and Force Intelligence dept to simply demand for all emergency road and distilling roads awarded since 2017 till date and get a certified quantity surveying firm to re-evaluate these projects and see the wanton theft these criminals perpetuated.
Another lead mentioned was for these security agencies to check the accounts of these listed individuals and see the billions stockpiled in them, that as civil servants cannot be accounted for. The advent of the BVN makes the work very easy of which such funds and the numerous hotels and estate they have invested such money into can be seized auctioned and the funds paid back into the NDDC to leverage off her debt to genuine contractors.
However, just like the president, all the security agencies have turned a bind eye to all petitions written, which suggest they may be part of the beneficiaries of the embezzlement that have plagued the NDDC or they are just too scared to take on these criminals, which makes governance under today’s government a shame.
For Nnamdi Okykar, he taught the listed members of staff how to mutilate and pad up BEME of which he used his companies, Diamond D’N Sky and Escobar Limited to perpetuate unending crime making illegal funds off the NDDC to the tone of 6Billion naira, and going further to invest these stollen funds into estate in his home state of Anambra, some in Port Harcourt and a Church building along Igwruta airport road. The Niger delta youths need to look into his matter to get their stolen wealth back from this criminal.
The EFCC, ICPC and DSS need to bring these thieves to book ASAP in other not to make the forensic audit a mockery at the end of the day. Because investigating and jailing these listed thieves would mop up over 1 Trillion back to the NDDC which would greatly assist president Buhari in these periods of low oil price hampering the nations revenue. OR are the EFFCC, ICPC and DSS afraid of these listed thieves who do not even enjoy any form of immunity?
We plead with all well meaning Nigerians to kindly prevail on the president to order an immediate investigations into the accounts of these listed persons so he can access funds to use for developing the Niger delta region and live up to his name as an anti corruption czar.
Faithfully,
Niger Delta Global Anti-Corruption Group.
