In a statement titled: Re: on the arrest of Ambrose Ezenweani signed by Comrade Obiri Ebilade himself and released to VRH-BLOG, the President of NADESSTU dismissed the allegation as false and unfounded. Comrade Obiri Ebilade in his statement, challenged Ambrose to sue him as a person for defamation of character, if any of the below facts presented by him are lies deliberately fabricated to tarnish his image or sue NADESSTU as an entity if any of his rights have been breached for arresting him.
As a result of the various misconceptions surrounding the arrest of Mr. Ambrose Ezenweani, I have decided to break my silence and set the following facts straight;
1. That Ambrose Ezenweani was arrested by NADESSTU because he collected money from several Students in the guise of registering them for bursary and never did, thereby causing so much unrest from the students who paid money to him but were not registered. The Students wrote petitions to us, indicating their matriculation number and the amount they paid to Ambrose, and it was only proper in such a circumstance that we took lawful means to bring him to book, hence the arrest.
2. That Ambrose Ezenweani has been using the name of NADESSTU to cause several problems. He is no more a Student of University of Lagos as he claimed in the kangaroo protest he staged in Lagos, reported by the media to have been attended by fewer than 10 persons, yet poses as Student to stage a protest because, the fraudulent names he registered with his bank account number was fished out and the Scholarship Board refused payment. I even visited the Dean of University of Lagos and he corroborated it that Anbrose is no more their Student since 2011. The problems of NADESSTU should be left alone for Students and I have not for once believed that Ambrose has any business with NADESSTU after his graduation and does not have the loco standi, to use the name of NADESSTU for any purpose as he was not conferred with the title of Life Member of NADESSTU, but because to him NADESSTU is a business and looking for a job to do after graduation is not even an option.
3. That Ambrose Ezenweani registered alot of fraudulent names in the bursary to divert money meant for students to his private pockets, which initially was not our business, but with the way he is negatively dragging the name of NADESSTU to it, we have no option than to take precautionary measures. He raised false alarm that there was fraud in the Scholarship Board perpetuated by the Honourable Commissioner Prof. Hope Eghagha and the Scholarship Board Chairman Mosignor Buchi Aninye and upon investigation by the EFCC, it was discovered that Ambrose was the actual fraud, hence he was detained by the EFCC for one week, but later released to report back to the EFCC, when he pleaded that he was an NYSC Candidate who needed to do his clearance. The EFCC thereafter arrested his surety when Ambrose jumped bail by refusing to report as ordered by the EFCC. The question is why did Ambrose refuse to report back to the EFCC, if his hands were truly clean?
4. Finally, I challenge Ambrose to sue me as a person for defamation of character, if any of the above facts presented by me here are lies deliberately fabricated to tarnish his image or sue NADESSTU as an entity if any of his rights have been breached for arresting him.
Aluta Continua!!! Victoria Acerta!!!
