Ebonyi Governor’s Aide Arrested, Detained Over Alleged Contract Scam

By Uka Ibeakolam

A Senior Special Assistant to Governor Francis Nwifuru on Project Monitoring, Chukwuma Nwiboko has been reportedly arrested and detained by the state Police command over an alleged contract scams.

Nwiboko and other suspects were said to have been detained by the Crack Squad Unit of the command on the directives of the Governor.

A source disclosed that the embattled aides have spent over three days in police detention before they were granted bails.

A source who spoke on condition of anonymity claimed that Nwiboko and other suspects were mobilized with several millions of naira to build government projects in various communities but they pocketed the monies and refused to do the jobs.

The source noted that Nwiboko may have diverted the funds which amounted to over ₦200 million to enable him complete his gigantic private residence in Abakaliki capital city.

According to the source: “this is not the first time Mr. Nwiboko is being detained over the contract scam. Governor Nwifuru was referring to Nwiboko in his Ojiji 2024 address when he stated that his kinsmen in his government were those creating problems for his administration”.

“It is obvious that Nwiboko used the project fund to complete his gigantic private residence in Abakaliki capital city”.

“Ebonyi people who were worried about the attempts of close aides of the governor to frustrate most of the signature projects of the Ebonyi People’s Charter of Needs administration said that they were looking forward to seeing Governor Nwifuru’s decisive actions to stop his friends, associates and aides from their negative attitudes and thereby protect the interests of Ebonyi people whose collective mandate brought Nwifuru to power”.

However, all efforts to get reactions from the governor’s aide and the police proved abortive.
