SHARE
Benue Coalition for Democracy has backed the state government in its call to probe minister of special duties and intergovernmental affairs, George Akume over alleged N4.6bn Fraud.

The state government had asked anti-corruption agencies to investigate and prosecute Akume, over allegations of N4.56 billion fraud.

In a statements issued on Saturday, Benue Coalition for Democracy, urged the anti-graft agencies to take action on petitions submitted by the state government.

In a statement signed by Ternenge Bendega, president of Benue Coalition for Democracy, the group said: “This decision is long overdue, and the Benue State Government deserves commendation for taking the bold step to recover the billions stolen from the coffers of the state under Governor George Akume,”

“We are all aware of the damage corruption has done to the economy of the country in many states of the federation. When criminal acts such as the one the Akume administration is being accused of are allowed to go unpunished, society suffers dire consequences.

“We are solidly behind the Benue State Government to do everything lawful to recover the stolen funds.

“We advise the State Government to take the matter further to the courts and not limit it to EFCC investigation. This is a very serious corporate malfeasance against Benue State which must be redressed.

“We also want to warn that we will not accept anything short of justice on this matter. We won’t also accept plea bargain or political solution of any kind. Akume has insulted Benue people for too long. Let him have his day in court to prove his innocence.

“Lastly, we call on anti-graft agencies to act swiftly on the petition before them regarding the reported theft of Benue’s billions by George Akume. EFCC should remember that Nigerians are watching. They must uphold professionalism and let the truth come out on this issue.”
