Strange Fish Swallows 52m In Abia State

 52 million naira meant for the South East Entrepreneurship Development Centre(SEEDC) contract job and renovation of Women Development Centre has been swallowed by a strange fish.

Igbere Tv gathered that the contract was given to Phrenemos Int Ltd and was supervised by the current Abia State SSG, Dr. Eme Okoro.

Sources said  that before now there had been news of the SSG mismanaging  financial transactions and requests for bribes from contractors but this  was the last straw which broke the camel’s back as a mysterious fish has been alleged to have swallowed the whole money meant for the job.

On investigations, it was gathered that the SSG who was instructed by Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu to oversee the job told the MD of Phrenemos Int Ltd to open a UBA account with one Glory Emucha in the pretence that UBA is the bank Abia State government is dealing with, not knowing the reason is for access into his account.

Weeks later, the MD of Phrenemos Intl Ltd, Engr Emma Uche Adimoha approached UBA to know the status of his account in respect of the contract payment and discovered the unbelievable.

Adimoha was told that a strange fish had swallowed the whole money.

He discovered that N2m was paid in to the account but was swallowed by the fish without his knowledge, meanwhile he had started using his personal funds in facilitating the project.

He also discovered that a financial project report was sent to  the governor detailing that over N15million that was released has been used for the project.

This simply means that the government actually released N15million for the project but N2m was deposited into Phrenemos Int Ltd’s account which was withdrawn without his concent and the remaining diverted.

The DSS already made some arrests in connection to the fraudulent activities and Gov Okezie’s government is already gathering bad image based on fraud.

It may be recalled that within the country N36m was reportedly swallowed by a snake in JAMB office and a monkey also  swallowed 70m only few weeks ago.
