Chief Vincent Ejikeme Ezenwajiaku,
who was
declared wanted by the Special Fraud Unit, SFU, of the Nigeria
Police for allegedly obtaining N10.6 million by false pretence and forgery has
announced his resignation from the Anambra State Executive Council.
He has also sued the Commissioner of
Police in charge of Special Fraud Unit, SFU, as well as one Chuks Mgbenena of
NIMASA and CSP Okposiakpo Elolor for N250 million over what he described as an
attempt to damage his reputation.
The embattled Anambra State
commissioner spoke to the newsmen in Awka on Septmeber 19, 2013.
Chief Ezenwajiaku said the import of
what the people were doing was just to take his pound of flesh because he was
appointed a commissioner by Governor Peter Obi.
According to him, the amount
involved was not N10.6 million, adding that Chuks Mgbemena and SFU just want to
put him in bad light, to smear his hard-earned image that had taken him time to
build and perhaps, to lose his job as commissioner in the state.
He said: "Since my life, I have
never been involved in fraud, or arrested or detained by the police on anything
concerning any form of illegality because it was a vow I took after my National
Youth Service Corps.
"As a result of this raging
fire, I am going further by resigning my position as the State Commissioner for
Special Duties and I am going to tender my letter to Governor Obi first thing
tomorrow morning (Friday), because I do not intend to embarrass this
government.
"This is to prove my innocence
until I clear my name of this mess. Whatever it will take to do it, I will do
it".
In the suit instituted at the Awka
High Court, Ezenwajiaku is urging the court to restrain Mr. Chucks Mgbemena,
the Commissioner of Police in charge of SFU and CPS Elohor from arresting him
or continuing to harass him, pending the determination of the suit.
