If care is not taken, the deputy speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, Mrs Lami Danladi will set the entire state on fire with her lies, criminalities and acts that can threaten the peace of the State.
Recently, the embattled Lami faked up a story where she falsely accused the chairman of her local government, Mr. Oche Sunday Oche of operating an illegal detention cell in Obioye area of Ado Local Government.
To substantiate her claim, she obtained a voice note of her accomplice, Mrs Nkechi Okafor with whom she had been collecting funds from Ezaa community elders to procure arms and ammunition for them to fight the Effium community. She used the voice note where Nkechi, the coordinator of Senator Abba Moro, a PDP, lied about the cell and other fake allegations of attacks on people in the area to deceive the public on the social media.
Immediately that lie failed, Lami Danladi used a pseudo group which has Okafor’s connection to petition the Office of the Inspector-General of Police with fat lies against the council chairman and some traditional chiefs. The IGP returned the petition to AIG Office, Zone 4 in Makurdi for an immediate investigation.
During the investigation, Lami made sure that three traditional chiefs were arrested and detained in zone 4, Makurdi. Their offense to Lami was that they refused to join her in deceiving the public about her claim of a detention cell in Obioye.
However, the chiefs were released two weeks ago on the order of the IGP, Kayode Egbetokun when his special team led by CSP Mannase Orhena found out that there was no iota of truth in Lami’s petition. They only found out that the place she claimed was a detention cell is just a market square that occupies some shops and a Catholic Church.
The IGP Special Team was sufficiently briefed by the people they interviewed during the investigation that there has never been a cell in the place.
Before then, Lami had also tried to brainwash the leadership of the State House of Assembly with her usual lies by faking a story that Engineer Oche Sunday Oche double crossed her convoy and opened at attack on her.
She almost made the lawmakers believe her petty story at a Plenary Session that day until the Majority Leader of the State House of Assembly stood up and told the House what truly happened. Again, Lami lost her plan to use her lie to convince the House to suspend Oche that day.
Lami Danladi threatened openly at the premises of the Assembly that day that she wouldn’t stop there. The latest trick is using one of her media bull dogs (name withheld) to open a blog called the nation news where she posted a report yesterday that the Benue APC fumed that the chairman is romancing with PDP and ADC.
The report actually lacked merit as she didn’t mention which of the factions of the APC in Benue that fumed according to her in the cooked report.
In the said report, no name of the official of the Benue APC that fumed over the alleged romance of Oche Sunday with PDP and ADC was mentioned. This means the story was cooked just to cause tension. It lacks a credible source.
However, findings by Nigerian Concord newspaper have shown that the Ado Local Government chairman is one of the best supporters and admirers of the State governor, Reverend Father Hyacinth Alia.
According to findings, Oche has never had any meeting with any member or leader of the People’s Democratic Party or the ADC as claimed by Lami’s media handlers in the report which they tried to use to mislead the public yesterday.
Further investigation showed that the deputy speaker is doing everything to drag the local government chairman down because of her inordinate ambition to go to the House of Representatives in 2027. She practically sees Oche Sunday Oche’s popularity and achievements as council chairman as a threat to her ambition should he decide to join the House of Representatives race in 2027.
Recall that the deputy speaker was recently accused by an anti graft group of sharing part of the revenue of Ado Local Government for close to two years with the two previous Caretaker chairmen of the local government. The group however promised to invite the EFCC and ICPC to investigate the allegation.
Apart from that, she has also been accused of raising a militia to cause troubles in Ado and the entire federal constituency ahead of her inordinate ambition of 2027.
Apart from the fact that she is working against the administration of Father Hyacinth Alia, the deputy speaker has been relating with Senator Abba Moro through his coordination, Mrs Nkechi to use false security alarm to create tension in Ado Local Government.
