Fresh facts have emerged why Delta State Commissioner for Sports and Youths, Mr. Asupa Forteta was arrested by policemen from Special Anti-Fraud Unit, Ikoyi, Lagos State recently.

We gathered that Chief Emmanuel Ogobene wrote a petition to the police that Mr. Forteta allegedly falsified tax clearance certificate no. 099536, with a file no. EFT.7767, using Deate Ventures to secure a contract of N140 million from DESOPADEC for the construction of roads and drainages in Orogun Community, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State and abandoned the projects after being paid.

Though, the commissioner has been granted bail but he has been asked to report back on April 18, 2016.

We were told that since the commissioner’s arrest, the Managing Director of DESOPADEC, Williams Makinde and the Commission’s Executive Director, Finance and Administration, Askia Ogieh have been running from pillar to post.
