An oil firm, Angino Oil West Africa Ltd has petitioned the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, seeking the prosecution of a member of the House of Representatives, Patrick Asadu, over alleged unlawful conversion of a land duly allocated to its principal, Chief C.A. Ubaka, at Sun City Layout in Enugu.
The petitioner also accused officers of the IGP Monitoring Unit of connivance to shield Hon. Asadu from prosecution and pervert the course of justice after the lawmaker had been indicted following a “detailed investigation” by the Force Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department (FCIID) Abuja.
The Counsel to Agino oil intimated journalists in a round table talk on Wednesday, in Abuja.
According to the latest petition on the matter dated February 4, 2019 and signed by C. S. Ebnonugwo, Esq of the law firm of C. S. Ebnonugwo & Co, that after having signed the allocation letter dated April 4, 2001 in favour of Chief Ubaka, Hon. Asadu subsequently turned around and backdated another allocation letter in favour of his company, King of Kings Hospital Abuja.
The petitioner described the lawmaker’s action as “flagrant display of abuse of office” and violations of Sections 11 and 13(2) of the Enugu State Lands Allocation Regulations.
