The Major General Adeniyi Oyebade led Nigerian Army panel of inquiry investigating alleged partisanship of members of the Nigeria Army during the 2015 general election set up by the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, has indicted embattled Senate Minority Leader and former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Chief Godswill Akpabio over the killings, hijacking of election materials and the use of thugs during the 2015 general elections in Akwa Ibom1 state.

Testifying before the panel which also has Brig. Gen. Sunday Araoye, Brig. Gen. Emmanuel Kabuk, Brig. Gen. Baba Ibrahim and Col. Danladi Salihu as members, an army captain from the Wellington Bassey Army Barracks in Ibawa who monitored the election in Eket senatorial district, Capt. Addulkadir told the panel that all the killings, thuggery, hijacking and diversion of election materials were masterminded by Akpabio with the connivance of the immediate past Police Commissioner in the state, Mr. Gabriel Achong.

Backing his testimony with video and photographic evidence, Addulkadir said he personally arrested a group of thugs alongside the DPO of Eket LGA on election day with election materials for Eket and Mkpat Enin hijacked from electoral officers of INEC. Surprisingly he said, the vehicle used to perpetrate the electoral fraud belonged to the then Deputy Governor of Akwa Ibom state, Lady Valerie Ebe.

Addulkadir told the army board of inquiry that moments after he arrested the PDP thugs alongside the Eket DPO, an aide of the Deputy Governor called him and offered him money, pleading for the release of the vehicle and the arrested hoodlums. When he did not budge, he revealed that the then Police Commissioner, Mr. Gabriel Achong called saying that he was intervening on behalf of Akpabio for the release of the thugs as well as Akpabio’s deputy Governor’s car that was impounded.

I remember when Asiwaju Tinubu said that many other people will be exposed in response to allegations that the Sen. Saraki's case is an isolated case for political reasons. If the ending of 2015 is like this, 2016 will be a year of "Can of Worms"
