\nThe Network Against Corruption and Trafficking (NACAT), has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC),\u00a0 Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Chief of Defence Staff and his naval counterpart to immediately commence investigations into alleged abuse of office by the Executive Director (Operations) of the Navy Holdings Limited, Commodore Gabriel Martins Aligwe.<\/p>\n

The group in a statement issued on Friday and signed by its Director of Investigation, Oghenedoro Tega, accused Aligwe of violating public rules as well as abuse of his office.<\/p>\n

One of the allegations include the alleged running\/owning of private companies by Aligwe while still running the affairs of Navy Holdings Limited.<\/p>\n

The group also drew the attention of the general public to widespread suggestions that the Naval Officer allegedly frustrates contractors and accepts kickbacks for his personal gain.<\/p>\n

The statement read in part, “NACAT’s investigation revealed that Commodore Gabriel Martins Aligwe, the Executive Director, Operations, of the Navy Holdings Limited and his immediate family members have interest as Directors in the companies, “Max- Magins Nigeria Limited – RC 912887 and Martgab Nigeria Enterprises Limited – RC 866375; and he did not declare them in his Assets and Liabilities Declaration Forms with the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), in compliance with the law.”<\/p>\n

This is just as the anti-corruption agency accused Aligwe of owning real estate companies, adding that he is using his office to award contracts to himself “Through these private companies that he incorporated solely as a medium of perpetrating fraud and abuse of office.”<\/p>\n

Similarly, the group noted that Aligwe has continuously flouted and breached some provisions of the 1999 Constitution as amended and the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) Act Guidelines on Assets Declaration.<\/p>\n

“Our investigations revealed that as a result of the numerous complaints while he was in office as Managing Director, the immediate past Chief of Naval Staff constituted an investigative panel that found Commodore Aligwe culpable and as a result of the findings, he was recommended for Court Martial and was to refund huge sums of money that was unaccounted for.<\/p>\n

“Till date, Commodore Aligwe has not been tried. It is therefore unfortunate that despite the alleged and perceived atrocities and abuse of office Commodore Aligwe perpetrated at the Naval Building and Construction Company Limited while in office as Managing Director, he is yet to be tried.<\/p>\n

“As an Non-Governmental Organization with a mandate to fight corruption and various anti-corruption war to our credit, NACAT expressed concern that such a naval officer would be allowed to continue in the service with the alleged destructive tendencies without appropriate investigative action and\/or punitive actions taken against him.<\/p>\n

“It is, therefore, our firm position that it is necessary and expedient to revisit and conclude the pending case against Commodore Aligwe.<\/p>\n

“His posting to the Navy Holdings Limited, which is a business entity operated under the Companies and Allied Matters Act (not by obeying the last order), should be reconsidered by the Chief of the Naval Staff.<\/p>\n

“Otherwise, the Nigerian Navy should prepare for a barrage of lawsuits” NACAT warned.<\/p>\n
