Nigerian senator representing Delta-North Senatorial District, Peter Nwaoboshi, has reportedly shunned several invitations from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The self-acclaimed ‘loyalist’ of convicted former governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, "despite EFCC's due process, has refused to come to our office for interrogation,” a detective said.
Nwaoboshi, who has been linked to the misapplication of a N1.2bn bank loan, has also been accused of a N1.5bn contract scam involving the Delta State Government.
A detective at the EFCC told PUNCH that in 2014, the lawmaker, through his company, Bilderberg Enterprises Limited, received a contract of N1.5bn to supply brand new construction equipment to the Delta State Direct Labour Agency.
However, the lawmaker allegedly supplied the state government with used goods and passed them off as new.
As part of investigations, the EFCC was said to have written the Nigeria Customs Service to verify if the equipment were new or not.
Nwaoboshi allegedly used part of the diverted funds to buy a 12-storey building at 27 Marina Road, Apapa, Lagos.
