Nwifuru Orders Whistleblower’s Release Over Alleged N3bn Scam.
Governor of Ebonyi State, Francis Nwifuru, has ordered the
immediate release of the People’s Democratic Party, Publicity Secretary, Chima Nwoba,
from detention.
Nwifuru who disclosed this during a Holy Mass at the Government
House Chapel, Centenary City, in Abakaliki told the Commissioner for Commerce
and Industry, Oguzor Offia-Nwali, to temper justice with mercy, and consider
standing down the case against Chika Nwoba.
The Governor implored the Secretary to the State Government,
Professor Grace Umezurike, to heed the court’s ruling regarding Chika Nwoba’s
bail and oblige by signing as surety to ensure he meets his bail conditions.
Nwoba had been in detention since February after writing a
petition to the Economic and financial crises commission, against the
commissioner for commerce and industry, Offia-Nwali over alleged embezzlement
of N3 billion meant for empowerment.
