The Managing Director of Tweenex Consociates H.D Ltd., Mr. Abule Sule has confessed that former governor of Imo State, Mr. Ikedi Ohakim gave him N270million cash to buy a house for him at House 60, Kwame Nkrumah Street, Plot No. 1098, Cadastal Zone A04, Asokoro, Abuja.

“Before November 2008, he requested that I buy him a house in Asokoro. When we found one for him at 60, Kwame Nkrumah Street in Asokoro, we told him and he trusted my judgment on it. I told him the price was N270m and he provided me with the money about $2.29m or thereabout in cash.

“I collected the money from him at the Imo State Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro at night. The money was in cash in one tranche and he said that I should use it to pay for the house at 60, Kwame Nkrumah Street, Asokoro.

“The following day, I called Alhaji Muktari Isa Maidabino, then we met at Unity Bank, Maitama. Alhaji Muktari Maidabino said he had loan with the bank, so he offset the loan and retrieved the documents. When I collected the title documents I informed Chief Ohakim so that he could give us the name we were to use for the deed of assignment and power of attorney.

After a little delay, he said I should use my company name, Tweenex Consociates H.D. Ltd for the deed of assignment and power of attorney.

“We did as he said and I signed the sales of agreement and deed of assignment. After we perfected the purchase we renovated the house for one and a half years. After the renovation, we handed over the house to him”.

“In 2012, Chief Ohakim, now put pressure on me and made me to do a tenancy agreement between him and Tweenex Consociates. We did him an offer letter and he wrote us an acceptance of the offer accompanied with three cheques totaling N20m. We issued him a receipt and we gave him a tenancy agreement. “Chief Ohakim said we should use the N20m to renovate his house at No. 8, Haile Selassie, Asokoro Abuja,”
