Enugu State government has dismissed a report alleging that “a Senior Special Adviser to Enugu State Government on Special Duties” was quizzed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for embezzlement of over N200 million.
In a statement, yesterday, it said the man, identified as Pastor Sam Iyiogwe, is not a Senior Special Adviser in its service. “He is one of Senior Special Assistants appointed in March by the state government and, to the best of our knowledge, he has not handled any financial transaction of the government other than receiving his monthly salary”, the statement said. “He was elected two-term Chairman of Nkanu East Local Government Area of the state which started on January 4, 2012 during the past administration of Mr. Sullivan Chime and ended on January 4, 2016. “He allegations leveled against him have to do with his stewardship during his tenure as Chairman of the council and have nothing to do with his current appointment in this present administration”.
