Controversial businessman and politician, Andy Uba, is currently behind bars at the Police Headquarters, otherwise known as force headquarters, Abuja.
He was arrested on Wednesday April 26.
The Inspector General of Police (IGP) monitoring Unit, acting on a petition dated April 5, 2023 written by billionaire Activist, Dr George Uboh for alleged 400 million naira fraud has arrested Senator Andy Uba on Wednesday, April 26.
A source, in the IGP monitoring Unit disclosed to The Union Nigeria, that while in detention Sen. Uba and his alleged cohort, one Mr Benjamin Etu continued in the same alleged fraudulent pattern in trying to create a phantom job to cover up their tracks which proved abortive.
The source stated that Andy Uba allegedly claimed that he discounted Panic Alert Security System’s (PASS), Paris Club Refund Promissory note without evidence and without establishing evidence of nexus between the company that discounted the Promissory note and himself.
It was disclosed that in an undertaking signed by Mr Benjamin Etu, written on Monday September 13, 2022, in which Etu squarely linked Andy Uba to the fraud and promised to pay in 30 days, Etu again demonstrated same wanton disregard for law enforcement by propounding that the senior Police Officer in charge of the case and his men to whom the undertaking was made, had guns pointed at him when he was writing the undertaking.
Meanwhile the senior Police Officer has debunked Etu’s assertion as pathetic and unrepentant stating that he was actually pleading to George Uboh on behalf of Etu for him not to be detained on the date of the undertaking.
The source said that,”Etu when confronted on the recordings George Uboh tendered in which Etu and Uba were begging Dr Uboh to refund the money after which Etu collected George uboh’s account number, Etu said the recordings were clone, given the fact that George Uboh is a security expert.”
A former senior Special Assistant to former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, Andy Uba, has always been at his best when he courts controversy.
He is either enmeshed in a political, business or private controversy. The last controversy the former governorship aspirant of Anambra State was enmeshed in, was over a debt of N50 million he owed renowned businessman, Arthur Eze, prompting the seizure of some of his cars when he refused to pay back.
He had promised to be making a monthly N1 million installment payment, but defaulted on that promise. He, however, denied he got any loan from Eze when the matter came up in court.
More details…
We know the professional blackmailer that is writing this shit. He had conspired with the said Benjamin Etu to get at Senator Andy Uba but failed woefully. It’s aoney payment facilitation job that a company called CLEAN VISION…. that the said Benjamin Etu presented did for the said PANIC ALERT……. brought for the job by one Mr. George. Upon the job having been started and N4,000,000,000 only realised, Mr. George was said to have absconded with the money and refusing to pay the facilitator for the payment until later when he paid N400,000,000 only out of the N1,000,000,000 only that VLEAN VISION is entitled to. When Mr. George’s move to get the job of the MD of NDDC for his sister failed, he now turned around trying to get back the N400,000. 000 part payment which he had paid to CLEAN VISION back in annoyance while PANIC ALERT is still owing CLEAN VISION a balance of N600,000,000 only till date. It’s noteworthy that ARistinguished Andy Uba is neither a shareholder or director in CLEAN VISION OF PANIC ALERT nor a job facilitator and this not privy to all those issues around the four people individual or corporate. It was all in an effort to rope Senator Andy Uba into their deals that Mr. George went to the Divisional Police Office of Maple Abuja to make that illegal undertaking against Mr. Benjamin Etu and Senator Andy Uba in the absence of and without the knowledge of Senator Andy Uba. Most illegal is the fact that the said undertaking was written by the said Mr. George and the said Mr. Benjamin was forced to sign same. Most importantly and we’ll settled is that unassailable fact that the said undertaking having been made before the said police DPO ONUH, it’s I mlaw baseless, unconstitutional and can.never be put effect to in our civil courts. That’s why Mr. George has petitioned the office of the inspector general of police to help him put effect to the undertaking. If not that Mr. George knows the ilegality embedded in the undertaking why is approaching the police instead of the civil court to recover same from Mr. Benjamin who had undertaken to pay same to Mr. George? Distinguished Senator was invited on Wednesday to come to the police headquarters on Thursday 27/4/2023 but because the Senator knows very well that Mr. George and Mr. Benjamin are just on cheap blackmail, he went to the police that same Wednesday he received the invitation and never arrested. Upon reaching there, he told the police all he knows about the crooked and illegal undertaking and left from there without any issue or arest detention of behind the bar. We know the shuddy character behind all these publications and we shall be tackling him directly or indirectly as he come up until the public know that whole truth and nothing but the truth. Will yourself robbed of millions of naira just because you’re a successful business man and a national figure? MBANO. All these are menat to make the Distinguished Senator to fear his well earned names and succumb to cheap blackmail. He can keep sponsoring lie lie writeups and we shall be countering it but will never pay an amount the senator knows nothing about under a worthless undertaking made against him before the police without his knowledge or consent. The senator is very gentle calm matured and unassuming but he’ll never succumb to cheap blackmail especially as he knows the real blackmailer well just as everyone know him. A convict can never intimidate a distinguished Senator. For yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?????????????)
