This is not the best of times for the
Chairman of Ladipo/Osoro Traders union, Amaechi Nneji, as Police intensify
efforts to apprehend him over alleged WAEC certificate forgery and diversion of
N20m union’s funds, which the petitioners claimed that he used to build a house
in Lagos State.
P.M.EXPRESS gathered that the Chairman, Mr. Nneji,
went into hiding and is now at large after Police detectives from Zone 2
Command Onikan went to the market and he narrowly escaped arrest over a
petition against him and his cohorts over forgery and diversion of the union’s
fund.
It was gathered that the petition was weighty because
the petitioners investigated and got the evidence of the house he was building
at Ijedodo area of Lagos, which they claimed he used the union’s fund to build
and the issue of certificate forgery known to many traders. And so, he decided
to escape and went into hiding.
This is happening almost the same day the Lagos State
High Court stopped his planned election through an exparte motion filed before
the Court by his opponents led by Monday Nkwo over the union’s constitution
breach and disqualification of Mr. Nkwo.
In the petition dated 3rd November,2024 by the
chambers of EV’ANN ATTORNEY led by Bar. G. E.S Igbokwe on behalf of the
petitioners, it stated:
“CASE OF WAEC CERTIFICATE FORGERY AND FRAUDULENT
DIVERSION OF N20M FUND Of LADIPO/OSORO TRADERS UNION AGAINST AMAECHI
NNEJI, IFEANYI OPARA, DONATIUS EMEAFOR, AMBROSE AGHANU AND CHIGOZIE UWAKWE”
“The above subject refers.
“We have been briefed and our services retained by the
following under listed names and members of Ladipo/Osoro Traders union thus:
Mr. Monday Nkwo, Mr. Isiugo Chinaza Pascal. Mr. Oliver Chukwu, Mr Charles
Ogueli and Mr. Chigaemezu Njoku of No. 186 Street Papa Ajao Street Mushin
Lagos.”
“It is the brief of our clients that sometime in
March, 2019, Mr. Amechi Nneji and his cohorts forged West Africa Examination
Council Certificate to fraudulently meet the criteria for the position of
Chairmen, Iadipo/Osoro Traders Union in Lagos State.”
“Following their emergence as the executives of the
union, Mr. Amaechi Nneji and his cohort swifly suspended paying the funds
generated from and for the union into the union’s account instead fraudulently
channeled the funds almost N20,000,000.00 to their private accounts that he
currently converted same for building his house at ljedodo town Lagos. Attached
herewith is the photographic evidence of the building.”
“Due to Mr. Amaechi Nneji’s highhandedness and in a
ploy to cover up his misdeed of “syphoning the union’s fund throughout the
period of his maladministration, that is since March, 2019, he surreptitiously
picked a candidate, one his cohorts, in total disregard to the terms of the
union’s constitution, to the greatest surprise of all, he singichandedly
disqualified our clients, and worse still as against the will of the majority
members of same union, utterly super imposed his protégé as only qualified contestant.”
“Sir, we seek the intervention of the Men and officers
of Nigeria Police Force Command Zone 2 to investigate the activities as it
relates to the funds of the union at instance of Mr. Amaechi Nneji since March,
2019 till date he fraudulenty assumed the position of the Chairman
of Ladipo Osoro Traders Union, Lagos.”
Therefore, we humbly seek further your urgent
intervention to fish them out and bring them to book.”
Yours faithfully,
G. E. S. Igbokwe Esq-
For the clients.”
