Governor Nwifuru
By CHARLES IWUOHA
The Governor of Ebonyi State, Rt. Hon. Francis Nwifuru, has ordered for the immediate release of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Publicity Secretary, Mr Chima Nwoba, from detention.
Nwifuru made the disclosure on Sunday during a Holy mass at government house chapel, centenary city, in Abakaliki.
He told the Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Mr Oguzor Offia-Nwali, to temper justice with mercy, and consider standing down the case he has with Chika Nwoba.
The Governor as well, implored the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Professor Mrs. Grace Umezurike, to heed the court’s submission regarding Chika Nwoba’s bail condition, and oblige by signing as surety to ensure he meets his bail conditions.
Nwoba, had been in detention since February, after written a petition to the Economic and financial crises commission, EFCC, against the commissioner for commerce and industry, Offia- Nwali over alleged embezzlement of 3b meant for empowerment.
