Apr 5, 2024
The chairman of Eko Electricity Distribution Company, Dere Otubu, has been fingered in alleged multiple attempts to cover up massive ghost worker fraud rocking the organization by scheming to obstruct the company’s investigations processes and ultimately derail the justice system.
In several email exchanges seen by this medium, Otubu made repeated attempts to sabotage the efforts of board members to investigate allegations of fraud leveled against the company’s Chief Legal Officer, Mrs Wola Joseph-Condotti.
He also made repeated attempts to compromise the company’s internal disciplinary processes and cover up the allegations leveled against Mrs Joseph-Condotti.
Boardroom Crises: The Genesis
Recall that members of the board of the Eko Electricity Distribution Company have in recent times been at loggerheads over the alleged sack of the company’s Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Dr Tinuade Sanda.
Media reports showed that the firm replaced Sanda with Mrs Rekhiat Momoh. It was gathered that Sanda’s alleged sack was communicated through a letter signed by the EKEDC Chairman, Dere Otubu, on March 25.
According to Otubu, the decision to relieve Sanda of her duties followed a directive from the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission.
“We have received a directive from NERC stating that all staff working for the utility must be employed directly by the utility, bound by applicable service conditions that are applicable to the employees of the utility, and paid through the utility’s payroll.
