The newly appointed Niger Delta Minister has a murder case hanging on his neck

The newly appointed Minister for Niger Delta
ministry, Pastor Uguru Usani Uguru, has been
fingered in the alleged murder of one Mr. Iwara
Osuaya, a Chairmanship contestant in May
1996, in Cross River State, according to a
petition filed at the Oputa Panel in 2001. The
petition signed by Jenny Iwara Osuaya, wife of
the deceased, alleged that Usani and others
murdered her husband in 1996.
According to PETITION NO 673 to the Oputa
Panel, Mrs Osuaya said that her late husband
was murdered by Mr. Usani Uguru Usani &
Others in a Wednesday report by
Pointblanknews.
The assailants were arrested by the police.
Mr. Usani who was a member of the Cross
River State Executive Council used his
influence to suppress investigation into the
matter. The preliminary investigation report of
the matter indicted Mr. Usani and others but
the police did not prosecute them. The
preliminary report was admitted in evidence as
Exhibit 2.
The Commission ordered the Inspector-
General of Police to constitute another panel
to conduct fresh investigation into the matter.
According to Pointblanknews.com the case
had remained a “cold case” after the Oputa
Panel.
Usani, who allegedly supported another
candidate in the election, was said to have
promised offsetting Osuaya’s election
expenses. But when Osuaya went to collect
the promised compensation, a fracas ensued
which resulted in his death.
The now Minister for Niger Delta appointed by
President Mohammadu Buhari and screened by
the Senate, allegedly killed Osuaya alongside
few unnamed persons, rolled him up in the
blood stained rug carpet in his sitting room,
carried the body into his car, drove into the
bush and poured acid on the body to conceal
evidence.
At the Justice Chukwudifu Oputa Commission
in Port Harcourt, one Group Captain Gregory
Agboneni was linked with helping Usani to
cover up the alleged crime and forestall the
prosecution of the former Information
Commissioner, according to Pointblanknews
investigation.
Usani served as Commissioner for Information
under Agboneni.
Meanwhile, the new Minister and his Minister
of State, Cladius Daramola, yesterday assumed
duties with a warning to staff of the ministry
not to mislead them in the course of carrying
out their duties for the benefit of the region.
Usani, urged Directors and other top
management of the ministry to transparently
guide the new leadership “because you are on
ground.”
“Be open to one another. When there is
anything you will want to hide, tell us and we
will hide it well together. Avoid scheming for
popularity. I believe in working together and
not individual championship.”
Usani, until his new appointment, was the
Chairman of APC in Cross River State. He was
also the state coordinator of National Unity
Club (one of the associations that formed the
Grassroot Democratic Movement (1994).
In 1998 and 1999 when the current political
dispensation came into being, Usani was one
of the pioneer members who formed the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Cross River
State. He however left the party in 2001 due to
irreconcilable differences within the party on
matters of principle.
He contested the seat of Governorship of
Cross River state in 2003 and 2012 under the
opposition political platform of National
Democrats ND and Action Congress of Nigeria,
ACN.
