Ihedioha Sues Imo Assembly Over Probe Of ‘Missing N19.63b Council Funds’

Former Imo State Governor Emeka Ihedioha has begged an Owerri High Court to stop the House of Assembly from probing him for allegedly mismanaging N19.63billion council funds.

This is coming after the state Auditor-General for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs had issued an interim audit report detailing how N19.63b fraudulently disappeared from the Local Government accounts between May and December 31, 2019.

Apparently worried that the House of Assembly may investigate the allegation, the former governor applied for a perpetual injunction restraining it from investigating him.

In a suit filed on May 5 at the Owerri Judicial Division, the former governor, through an origination summons, is seeking an order of perpetual injunction restraining the House of Assembly from inviting him for an investigation into the alleged missing funds.

Imo State House of Assembly, the Speaker and the Clerk of the Assembly are the defendants.

The suit also asking for an order to set aside any summon or invitation to Ihedioha by the House or its agents to appear before it for an investigation on the funds

Two days after the origination summons was filed, Ihedioha’s counsel, S.A Anyalewechi, dispatched a letter to the Speaker asking him to restrain the House and its agents from inviting his client for an investigation.

But, legal experts are of the view that by constitutional provisions and Supreme Court pronouncements, no court can restrain a House of Assembly from discharging its legislative duties.

The Assembly is expected to respond to the suit ahead of hearing.

Imo State government had on April 14 approved a request by the Auditor-General for Local Governments and Chieftaincy Affairs to recover N19.63billion allegedly misappropriated by the Ihedioha administration.

The money was allegedly taken from the State-Local Government Joint Accounts Allocation Committee (JAAC) through the Bureau for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs (BLGCA).

Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Declan Emelumba, said in a statement that the sum was discovered during a routine audit of the accounts and records of JAAC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

He said the government’s action was in line with the New Imo Agenda of transparency in public service and financial discipline.

According to the Commissioner, the money was illegally withdrawn from JAAC account without any Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Stores Receipt Vouchers (SRV) or Stores Issue Vouchers (SIV).

He alleged that the Ihedioha administration paid a “crony” N1.215 billion for unsupplied construction equipment without any document.

“There was also an unconscionable mandatory withdrawal of N2.405illion by the Bureau for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs (BLGCA).

“Others are payment of N9.378billion to Local Government councils for an undisclosed purpose.”

Emelumba said a firm received N245 million for no disclosed purpose.

“Other fictitious and fraudulent withdrawals include compulsory returns or kickbacks from Local Government Councils to the BLGCA to the tune of N2.404billion.

“This was deducted from the allocated funds of the LGAs,” he said, among others.

Ihedioha and those named in the report to have received the payments had denied the allegations.
