According to SaharaReporters, Adeolu and his wife, who secured the contract through Ronchess Global Resources Plc during former Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s administration, have been evading accountability for the diverted funds and unfinished project.
Following Kaduna State Government and House of Assembly’s probe into the alleged fraud, the cleric’s son filed a suit (FHC/L/CS/1206/24) at the Federal High Court in Lagos.
Adeolu seeks an injunction restraining the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Kaduna State Government, and the House of Assembly from arresting or detaining him over the abandoned N17.26 billion project.
The EFCC, Inspector General of Police, Assistant Inspector General of Police, Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Kaduna State Government and Kaduna State House of Assembly are the 1st to 6th Respondents respectively.
A Kaduna State House of Assembly team inspected the Wusasa to Danmagaji Nagoyi Road project site (Kaduna North Local Government Area) on May 16, 2024, at 4:47 pm. They found the site abandoned by Ronchess Global Resources Plc, owned by Adeolu Adeboye.
The project is an 8km road in Zaria. Though N8,195,014,236.95 had been paid for the project, the job was only 30 percent completed before being abandoned by the cleric’s son.
The period of contract is 18 months and the expected completion date was January 2, 2021. Meanwhile, the contract was awarded to Ronchess Global Resources Plc on September 15, 2020.
The initial contract sum is N8.74 billion while the full contract sum was revised on December 6, 2022 to the sum of N17.26 billion.
