Bomadi Local Government Delta State chairman, Dagidi Andaye and five others are facing scrutiny after allegedly collecting an N800m unapproved loan from a commercial bank.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission opened a file on the case after 15 LG councilors filed a petition at the EFCC zonal office in Benin City on January 14, 2026.
The petition is titled, ‘Alleged Forgery and Fraudulent Loan Obtaining by Hon. Dagidi Andaye and Five Suspended Councilors of Bomadi Local Government Area of Delta State.”
According to the councilors their signatures were forged to secure the unapproved loan. This followed a motion for impeachment of the LG chairman.
Andaye is accused of financial impropriety, financial recklessness, abuse of office, and alleged political intimidation of councillors.
Also named in the petition are Hon. Doubra Wurukeseiye, the impeached Leader of the Bomadi Legislative House; Hon. John Tome; Asu Eteku, Head of Personnel Management; Adibor Senior, the council treasurer; and Hon. Porbeni Cletus.
The petition to the EFCC read, “We, the undersigned 15 Councillors of Bomadi Local Government Area Legislative House, Delta State, bring to your attention a grave case of forgery and financial impropriety of Hon. Dagidi Andaye, Chairman, Bomadi Local Government Area of Delta State, and five suspended councillors — Hon.Doubra Wurukeseiye, Hon. John Tome, Asu Eteku (HPM Bomadi LGA), Adibor Senior (Treasurer), and Hon. Porbeni Cletus.
“They allegedly forged our signatures to secure an N800 million loan without legislative approval.
”This act constitutes a serious breach of public trust, financial crime, and undermines governance.
”Forgery is a severe offence under the Nigerian Law, punishable by up to 14 years Imprisonment. We urge the EFCC to treat this matter with utmost urgency, investigate, recover the fraudulently obtained loan, and bring the perpetrators to justice.”
