Godsday Orubebe Denies Involvement in N605 Million Fraud in Niger Delta Affairs Ministry
Ex minister of Niger Delta affairs, Godsday Orubebe, has denied involvement in the disappearance of the N605 million, which went missing during his tenure.
During a phone chat with Vanguard, Orubebe said he had already resigned from the ministry when the money went missing.
The cash was allegedly withdrawn from the Constituency Project Account of the ministry by five officials without authorisation, a development which prompted the ICPC to drag the suspects to court.
The ICPC has already filed charges against the five persons in conjunction with the fraud: Yusuf Agabi (Director of Finance and Account), Akpore Okeroghene (Deputy Director of Finance), Abibu Ayinla (Director of Finance), Idowu Adewale (Deputy Director, Accounts) and Ngozi James (Deputy Director, Accounts).
