Godsday Orubebe to be Arraigned Before The Code of Conduct Tribunal for Taking Bribe of N70million

The former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs in the Jonathan regime will be arraigned before the Code of Conduct Tribunal on November 9th for false declaration of assets and for taking bribe to the tune of N70million.

He is now facing four counts of false declaration of assets, the solicitation of a bribe, and the acceptance of a bribe.  The charges allege that on two separate occasions, Elder Orubebe provided fabricated records of his financial assets to the authorities, despite being legally required to provide an accurate declaration of assets.
In addition, he is charged with the solicitation of a bribe from a Dr. Jonathan Alota as repayment for the awarding of a contract to Dr. Alota’s company Chemtronics Nigeria.  Mr. Orubebe then allegedly accepted a payment of N20 million from Dr. Alota.
The CCT served a summons to Elder Orubebe on October 29, and scheduled his arraignment for November, 9th.
