A Police Investigation Report (PIR) has said that former minister of aviation, Senator Stella Oduah, colluded with the Director General of the Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA), Olusegun Oshinowo, to lie about completing her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) primary assignment with NECA in 1982.
The report signed by the head of the IGP Monitoring Unit, ACP Ibrahim Musa, and dated May 11, 2023 was in response to a letter by A. C. Ozioko asking for the certified true copy of the report.
The report said investigation was carried out on Oduah based on a petition written June 7, 2022 by Prince Casmir Ajulu complaining of conspiracy, impersonation, perjury, forgery and obtaining government money by fraud against Oduah and Oshinowo.
TheNiche exclusively got hold of the police report on Monday which read, “That a petition titled ‘Petition against one Princess Odu Stephanie (not her real name) for forgery and fraud’ dated 19th July, 2017 was written by one Adenekan O. Esq on behalf of his client one Mr Alex Usifo of No 14 Lagos Benin Road, Edo State to the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Force Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department, Force Headquarters, Abuja, who referred same to Special Enquiry Bureau (SEB), FCIID Annex, Alagbon for investigation.
