Alleged $6.9m scam: Obuah denies involvement

Former Chief Security Officer to former President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, Gordon Obua, yesterday said that he did not initiate any memo for the construction of stage for the former president. In a statement by his lawyer, Andrew Itsekiri, Obua said that he also did not receive a penny for the construction of any stage for Jonathan.
The lawyer equally said that the company which was said to have received $6.9 million for the construction of stages did not belong to Obuah and had no relationship with the company. He challenged those behind the fabrication to produce evidence from the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, linking the ownership of the company that purportedly received the said sum of $6.9m to his client. He also challenged the leadership of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to identify the person or the owner of the company to whom the purported money was paid.
Itsekiri also pointed out that resorting to media trial was a calculated attempt by government to discredit his client after agencies of government had investigated him and found nothing with which to nail him. He said that Obuah was confronted with this same allegation by the State Security Service and that nothing incriminating was found against him. He wondered why government had now resorted to media trial.
