A former commissioner for Transport in Enugu State, Engr. Luke Mmamel has dragged his boss and former governor Sullivan Chime to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC) for allegedly “distributing/monetizing government quarters to his siblings, nephews and for graft.”
The Commissioner, who claims that his property was given out to a former GOC, 82 Army Division Enugu by the former governor, is also accusing the army chief of abuse of office, “for receiving a gift of his official quarters, knowing full well that the allocation is with me.”
Mmamel added that he had further written the Chairman, Nigerian Army Council, through the Ministry of Defence “to advise Maj. Gen. Shehu Yusuf to hand over my accommodation to me in the interest of justice, fairness and proper conduct.”
In his petition to the ICPC dated June 1, 2015, Engr. Mmamel alleged that Chime “abused his office by offering a gratification of monetization/sale of No 3 Mount Street GRA Enugu to the GOC, contrary to the provision of relevant acts.
He further alleged that Chime engaged in nepotism and abuse of office by distributing/monetizing Enugu Government quarters recovered from the army to his siblings, Nephews, and for graft.
The commissioner while urging the ICPC to look into the issues raised, threatened to go to court for redress and “to compel ICPC to ensure the prosecution of all those involved in this abuse of office in order to preserve the sanctity of laws and build a better nation.
