There seems to be more trouble for
the Communications Minister, Alhaji Adebayo Shittu, as the Computer Guild of
Nigeria (CGN) has invited the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC)
to immediately investigate and probe him over allegations of corruption, misappropriation
of public funds and self-enrichment against him by former aide, reports ITRealms.
Shittu, ITRealms recalls was accused of owning
12 luxury homes, N93m printing press houses and 25 luxurious cars by his former
media aide, Mr. Victor Oluwadamilare.
Reacting to the allegations, the
President of Ibadan-based CGN, Mr. Wole Adedoyin, told ITRealms that the Minister, Adebayo
Shittu should be immediately investigated over these allegations of massive
frauds and corruption.
He went on to say that until his appointment
as Minister, his law chamber was shut due to N100,000 debt owe the landlord.
“There is a popular rumour ferried
around Uncle Joe in Mokola in Ibadan that Minister Adebayo Shittu was quitted
from the apartment he was using for his legal consultancy due to debt of
N100,000 owing his landlord.
“Today, this same Minister Adebayo
Shittu now owns a well-furnished complete building turned to his law chamber at
Kabiawu in same Mokola axis,” he said.
The group, therefore urged EFCC to
also invite Minister Shittu’s former aide, Mr. Victor Oluwadamilare who in his
statement described his boss as greedy and corrupt to come and say all he knows
about his boss’s accumulation of sudden wealth through bribery and corruption.
