ABUJA- A Spanish contractor, Mr Jose Lopez-Pepe, has dragged the Imo State government before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, alleging that his Nigerian partner, one Benjamin Emenike, connived with some commissioners and diverted contract funds.
.
In a petition he filed through his lawyer, Abiodun Oduwole, and copied to the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Mohammed Abubakar, the Spaniard, alleged that while he travelled abroad to procure technical drawings and other equipment for the contract valued at about N3.6 billion, Emenike who is the Managing Director of a company, Hormipresa Nigeria Ltd, collected part payment for the project and bought several exotic cars.
.
Consequently, Mr Lopez-Pepe, who claims he never received the payment by the state government for the job, prays the IGP and the anti-graft agency to investigate Emenike and some officials of the Imo State government and make them account for the project funds.
