Sowore's serial blackmail: Senator Ned Nwoko never grabbed any land at Idumuje-Ugboko

Sowore’s serial blackmail: Senator Ned Nwoko never grabbed any land at Idumuje-Ugboko

Sowore Omoyele, the publisher of Sahara Reporters, has begun re-enacting the same old lies he told more than two years ago — that Senator Ned Nwoko grabbed land in Idumuje-Ugboko and caused the murder of some persons.

As someone who has followed the trauma suffered by the 29 victims of the 2017 Idumuje-Ugboko mayhem, allegedly orchestrated by Prince Chukwunonso Nwoko, the current state-installed Obi of Idumuje-Ugboko, I am in a good position to correct this malicious falsehood against an illustrious son of the community.

In 2015, Prince Ned Nwoko, now a Senator, applied for a 90-hectare piece of land to establish a Sports University in Idumuje-Ugboko. The then Obi of the community, HRM Albert Nwoko, consulted members of the land allocation committee. After a series of verifications and consultations with stakeholders from the four federating villages, the land was duly approved by the late Obi and allocated to Linas International Limited, a company owned by Ned Nwoko.
