The Bunch Of Paid Agents To Dent The Image Of Erstwhile Onitsha South Chairman Is Set For Reveal - Sir Edwin

The attention of Chief Sir Edwin Ukaora, the CEO of Menezes Int. Ltd has been drawn to a video and report alleging that the erstwhile Chairman of Onitsha South local government area, Chief Emeka Joseph Orji stocked Anambra state government sanitation buckets at his private residence in Onitsha.

Against this backdrop, the management of Menezes Int Ltd wishes to state as follows;

That the said allegations are not only false but unfounded as the property in question belongs to the Company.
That the true position is that Menezes Int Ltd was contracted to supply sanitation buckets to the Anambra state government.
By the time Anambra Waste Management Agency ASWAMA gave the contract to procure and distribute those sanitation buckets the firm had serious challenges of where to keep those buckets totaling 300 as the first batch of the supply and later 1,000 buckets.
Menezes had no option but to search for space and it is on record that the company approached warehouses in Onitsha and they charged her a high cost of storage which the company found too expensive to pay.
On second thought Menezes Int Ltd approached the then Chairmen of Onitsha North and South local government areas and they agreed to allow the firm to store those buckets under their custody.
Onitsha North local government area had enough space to store some of the buckets while Onitsha South had no such space hence the Chairman Chief Emeka Joseph Orji offered his residence in Onitsha for the company to store those buckets at no cost at all.
Consequent to the above the Board and Management of Menezes Int Ltd wish to state categorically that the said buckets are owned by the company and were not diverted by the former Chairman of Onitsha South local government area Chief Emeka Joseph Orji.
That those buckets still bear the name of the company that supplied them which is Menezes Int Ltd.
The management sees those spurious allegations as a calculated attempt by some bunch of paid agents and rabble-rousers to dent the image and reputation of Chief Emeka Joseph Orji.

Meanwhile, three suspects are said to be on the run following the intense investigation over the matter, and financial transactions have also been uncovered to the tune of N27 million allegedly paid to the blackmailers to pull Chief Emeka Joseph Orji down politically.

The Management would make public the three suspects which include a staff of Onitsha South local government area who has been facing police interrogation over several allegations of obtaining under pretenses and arson on public and private properties.

The Management of Menezes Int LTD wishes to urge the general public to discount those reports as they misleading smacks of a campaign of calumny targeted at the former Chairman of the Onitsha South local government area.
