Controversy

He was accused of embezzling 281 million naira which led to EFCC publicizing his profile on media in 2013. He filed a lawsuit against the anti-corruption agency for a bridge of fundamental human rights since he was not interrogated before the conclusion was made.[1]

In 2015 he was arrested for allegedly tearing up an election result sheet because he was dissatisfied with the outcome of the election.[2]
