Obudu Transformer Theft…
Dear Mr. Chairman Pita Pars,
I have now confirmed that some of your appointees were directly involved in the theft of the two transformers that were kept in Obudu, by the Ayade administration.
Though they weren’t yet in use for reasons that are still not clear, on the day the transformers were carted away, your S.A. on Peace and Security, Emmanuel Ikem, the Chairman of the Obudu chapter of the National Youth Council of Nigeria NYCN who also doubles as the Chairman of the Traffic Control Unit in Obudu LGA, Linus Abuokwen, the youth leader of Indi-Abeb, Unimke Sunday Ogar, the Urban Cyclists Chairman, Itiunbe, one Ulayi Peter and some past leaders of the NYCN, in Obudu were all there and were given N500,000, to share at the scene.
Infact, your S.A. Peace and Security, Emmanuel Ikem, and Linus Abuokwen, confirmed to yours sincerely that they were at the scene to “collect what belongs to us.”
Sir, unless you were personally involved in this, or unless you are the one that sent them, please let your S.A. Security, immediately tell you:
1. Who brought the idea of going to steal our transformers?
2. Who were the people that gave them N500k?
3. Who are the owners of that truck that was conveying the transformers?
4. How on Earth is it even possible that they did all these without your consent?
5. Why will several heads not roll if this was actually done without your consent and approval?
6. What do your appointees actually mean by “what belongs to us?
If no one could, I sincerely have confidence that you can stop the incessant theft of the few things Governor Ayade left in Obudu.amd make optimum use of them. Almost all the generators and amor cables that were powering the street lights in Obudu have been stolen without retribution. The last set of cables that were retrieved from thieves last year, also disappeared from the Police station. Upan Odey, has removed the public generator at Animal junction, and it’s now powering his mother’s shop. This impunity has to come to an end under your tenure sir, unless you are involved yourself.
Consequently Sir and with due respect to your office, I am demanding that heads must roll. Any government that lacks the will power or the capacity to discipline its erring appointees is either incompetent or complicit.
As your friend and brother and a concerned citizen of Obudu, I am also demanding that your S.A. Security and your traffic control chairmen, who are supposed to be quasi security enforcers, but rather became part of the heist, must be suspended pending the investigation of the roles in the theft. That’s in the spirit of accountability.
I will also call on the DPO of Obudu Division to ensure that the transformers do not disappear from the Police Station as it has become characteristic, and that all those involved in this theft and other recent ones, are not only arrested and prosecuted, but their names be made public. This matter must not be swept under the rug.
Thank you and God bless you sir.
Yours sincerely,
Citizen Agba Jalingo.
