Son of Chief E.K Clark, Mr Ebikeme Clark, has been accused by the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) of orchestrating his own kidnapping in order to defraud the state government.
In a statement signed by its spokesman, Jomo Gbomo, the group said it “was actually a clever orchestrated fraud masterminded by Ebikeme who stage-managed his own abduction.”
It said that “the ransom of 500Million Naira was paid by the Delta State Government from its security vote and was shared amongst all those involved in this scam.
No word yet from Mr Clark denying MEND’s allegation.
