Elder Godsday Orubebe says he is being framed (Read)
Former Minister of Niger Delta, Elder Godsday Orubebe says he is being framed by the Code of Conduct Tribunal, because of his support for former President, Goodluck Jonathan.
Elder Orubebe is to be arraigned on November 9, on a four count-charge of bribery and false assets declaration at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
He revealed during a press conference on Sunday, that he never took a bribe, in his 6-years in office.
“I was served with Code of Conduct Tribunal summons on Friday last week and the paper, which I personally signed and collected stated that I was expected to appear before them on November the ninth.
“I was taken aback by the news that I had already been arraigned. This tells me that it is an issue of witch hunt which is not good for this country. It is not good to take me to the public court before being tried.
“The issues contained in the summons are that I took N50 million bribe from one of the contractors who handled a project for the ministry of Niger Delta and another N20 million from the same contractor as well as not declaring my plots of land in Asokoro and Kyame districts of Abuja. I find these charges very empty and frivolous.
