A group, the Niger Delta advocacy group, Alliance for Growth and Development, has slammed a lawsuit against the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) over what it claimed was an alleged plan to divert N200 billion through payment of an alleged scam on distilling contracts in Rivers State.
The group in the suit jointly filed by Comrade Kegan Weli and Comrade Ameh Tobin at the Rivers State High Court and tagged No. PHC /CS/2023 is among others, seeking a declaration that the process of initiating, awarding and supervision of the so-called distilling contracts by the board is a public scam.
The claimants argued that the contracts were corrupt acts intended to deny the people of Rivers State in particular and the Niger Delta in general of substantial funds meant for the development of the region.
