A former Deputy Governor of Osun State and two-term Senator, Iyiola Omisore, and a firm, Cartill Construzioni Nigeria Limited, are at the heart of a road project fraud initially billed to cost N650 million.SaharaReporters learnt that Omisore got N151 million of the road project fund from the National Assembly as his constituency project and might have shared it with the firm, while the road project was not executed for years.
In the petition, the Secretary to the RCCG General Overseer, Pastor Niyi Adebanjo, said the church, after carrying out the rehabilitation of the road, learnt that the firm, which was awarded the contract since 2010, and had abandoned the work for over six years, after being paid and the government should therefore recover the money.
“There are many of these cases that nobody talks about. Today, the economy is bleeding and people are suffering because of the past mismanagement of public funds. We must make the punitive measures so severe. I once recommended life imprisonment for corrupt persons. The company that has collected money should be ready to face the consequences of the money it has collected.”
At the hearing, the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola clarified that the award of the contract and payment of the said contract sum were made between 2010 and 2011, four years before the present administration came to being. Meanwhile, in February 2021, the former Osun State Deputy Governor, Omisore defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress with many of his supporters.
