CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS: LECTURER PETITIONS BUHARI, ICPC AND IGP, INDICTS DELTA GOVERNOR OKOWA AND OTHERS.


PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI
A lecturer with Delta State polytechnic Oghara, Mr. Osiobe Ovie has petitioned President Buhari, ICPC Chairman and the Inspector General of Police over various crimes allegedly committed by the Polytechnic Rector Dr. (Mrs) Clara Sogbaike, the Bursar, Mr. Napoleon Akpubi and the Registrar, Mr. Benson Omonode. Mr. Osiobe Ovie alleged that Dr. (Mrs) Clara Sogbaike and others looted a whooping sum of over One Billion naira (N1,000,000,000.00) from the institution’s account and other corrupt practices (including awarding fake Result and Certificates to students as against National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) courses approval and accreditation reports and extorted N5,500 each from over 70,000 (Seventy Thousand) students to carry out fake life policy insurance for the student).    
DELTA GOVERNOR DR. OKOWA
The lecturer alleged that he was abducted for exposing these crimes in the polytechnic. Mr. osiobe who alleged that the Rector, Registrar and Bursar has since August 2014 resisted arrest by the Police Force Headquarters Abuja with the aid of a court injunction which the Police Legal Department in Asaba has deliberately refused to vacate the order since September 22nd 2014 to date. Mr. Osiobe alleged that some very Senior Police Officers (names withheld) both in Police State Command Asaba and Zone 5 Benin City aided, abetted, conspired and protected these corrupt principal officers of the polytechnic from being prosecuted.

DR. MRS. CLARA SOGBAIKE
Mr. Osiobe also alleged that the Rector, Registrar, and Bursar are also being investigated by the Independent Corrupt Practice And Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). Mr. Osiobe Ovie further alleged that the commission has been sued by the same Rector, Dr. (Mrs.) Clara Sogbaike and two others for alleged infringement of their Fundamental Human Right in Asaba High Court of Justice. Mr. Osiobe alleged that Dr. (Mrs.) Sobgaike is only trying to scuttle Police and ICPC investigations into their alleged crimes. Most notable amongst Dr. (Mrs.) Sogbaike’s alleged crimes, is her involvement/link in the sponsorship of ammunitions, bullets, guns and other dangerous weapons to some students/staff who were involved in cultism, robbery and unlawful possession of firearms. A staff of Delta State Polytechnic, Engr. Dickson Eghwatore and four other students were arrested for cultism/robbery and unlawful possession of firearms in Oghara Police Divisional Headquarters, Delta State in October 2014.

The lecturer alleged that the offence being a capital offence ought to have been transferred to Asaba Police Headquarters for further investigation, but the case was silenced by the Divisional Police office in Oghara with the interference of their sponsor, Dr (Mrs.) Clara Sogbaike. Mr. Osiobe Ovie allege that the Rector, Dr (Mrs.) Clara Sogbaike never expelled the students involved in the crime neither did she query/dismiss Engr. Dickson Eghwatore (The staff of the Polytechnic indicted in the crime). Mr. Osiobe Ovie alleged that the management of the polytechnic concealed the crime for over one year until Engr. Dickson Eghwatore was re-arrested on 22nd October 2015 on the directives of the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase. Bullets, Guns, Daggar and other dangerous weapons have been recovered by crack operatives of Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad Abuja. Some of the other suspects are still at large while investigation is ongoing. Mr. Osiobe alleged that several petitions he wrote to the Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa and the Secretary to the State Government Hon. Festus Ovie Agas were unattended to and even several text messages sent to both the telephone lines of the Governor and SSG fell on deaf ears, a clear indication that the State Government has full support for impunity, corruption and notorious criminal activities taking place in the Polytechnic. Mr. Osiobe alleged that since the rector and her cohorts could not terminate his life for exposing their crimes, they terminated his appointment as a lecturer unlawfully with the active connivance of the former Commissioner for Higher Education, Delta State, Prof. Hope Egaga, the Permanent Secretary and Director of Higher Education, Delta State (all beneficiaries of the fraud perpetrated by the Rector and others).
