BABYLON DEMONS: HOW DELTA LGA CHAIRMEN MADE THEIR DEPUTIES DUMMY AND SWORE TO MAKE THEM LEAVE OFFICE PENNILESS
Secret Reporters
In the concluding part of our expose on Delta State LG Chairmen, who drives luxury cars but allowed their Vice Chairmen to enter motorcycle to work, we bring to you the tales of sorrows in the various LGs, where this is practiced and how they are denied inclusion against the act setting up the LG.
Part 1, Section 56, Sub Section 1 of the Local Government law of 2017 (as amended) stipulates that : There shall be a cash budget committee comprising of the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, supervisors, HPM, and Treasurer to the LG which shall sit over the income and expenditure of council and authorize release of funds for approved items of expenditures.
Section 72, Sub Section 8 of the Local Government law makes provision for the composition of the Police/Community Relations Committee (PCRC) with the Vice Chairman as Chairman of the Committee. The committee performs the function relating to security in their various councils. The Chairman heads the well funded peace and security committee.
In gross violation of the law, most LG Chairmen travel for a period of two weeks or more without handing over to their deputies
The two laws above have been broken by most Chairmen. We hereby reel out the happenings in the remaining LGAs.
Sapele: The Chairman, Eugene Inoaghan is lord of the manor, with the deputy turned to a complete dummy. While he enjoys the perks of office, his Vice Chairman flags down keke to take him to the council in tears every day. Apart from not having official car, he is also not allowed to come for cash budget meeting, does not collect imprest and allowances, no department given to him to head and the PCRC is not in place.
Burutu: Agele Godknows knows that the law must be followed hence he made sure the Vice is entitled to official car, pays all imprest and allowances, supervises a department and made sure he’s comfortable as a deputy to him.
Patani: It’s not all tales of woe for the Vice Chairman of this local government as the Chairman, Perez Omoun made him to be in charge of tenement committee, attends cash budget meeting, pays his imprest and allowances though not regular. Sadly enough, the Vice has no official means of transportation to work, while the PCRC has not also been setup.
Ika South: Victor Okoh bought a Toyota Corolla of N2.5 million for his Vice not long ago from the coffers of the council. Apart from the car given, the Vice has been denied headship of any department and not allowed to attend cash budget meeting. The Chairman who is a lawyer flouted the law by refusing to set up the PCRC. He pays the Vice imprest and allowances whenever he deems fit.
Ughelli North: Popularly called Coach, the Chairman, Godwin Adode runs the affairs of the council alone, without giving official car to the Vice, no imprest paid apart from stipends to buy airtime. He banned the deputy from attending cash budget meetings and refused to set up the PCRC.
Uvwie: In this lucrative LGA, Ramson Tega did not give his Vice an official car, while paying imprest and allowances that are not regular. The second in command does not attend cash budget meeting and no PCRC in place, he does not head any committee. The Chairman Ramson embarrassed him during christmas by giving him only N100,000 as yuletide package.
Ndokwa West: Osakwe Ifeanyichukwu has not given the deputy and official car. However, the Vice supervises a department with imprest not regularly given and allowances not paid. While he heads tenement rate, the PCRC is not in place.
Aniocha South: He uses his person old car to work, which was refurbished by him. The Chairman Isaac Anwuzia does not care if the Vice exists as he does not get imprest or allowances, not allowed to attend cash budget meeting and supervises no department. The PCRC has been thrown to the dustbin of history.
Okpe: This is the LG of the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, yet lawlessness is the order of the day by Julius Jessa Scott, who has bluntly refused to allow purchase of official car for his Vice, refused to assign a department for him to head or even attend cash budget meeting. No allowance or imprest is paid to the Vice. There is no plan to set up the PCRC by him.
Warri North: Aduge Okorodudu who is head of council gave the works department to his Vice to head. Apart from that, he has turned deaf ears to other aspect of governance. Without an official car, none attendance of cash budget meetings, no PCRC to head and no imprest or allowances paid but just stipends, the deputy is only floating and praying for their tenure to end.
Warri South West: Like his counterpart above, Tuoyo Taiye Duke has also not approved purchase of official car for the Vice, banned him from attending cash budget meeting and refused to put in place the PCRC for him to head. However, he supervises a department and gets paid his imprest.
Chairmen get large pay
In a letter seen by SecretReporters written by the State ALGON to Joint Allocation Accounts Committee (JAAC), some allowances and payment were approved for the Chairmen which includes: entitlement of N600,000 annually for their medical, while their cook will be paid N50,000 monthly and gardener the sum of N40,000 monthly. They are also to be given the sum of N22,500 every month to buy newspapers and another N600,000 paid annually as accommodation to Chairmen who do not have official quarters.
While the Chairmen smiles to the bank, only the sum of N400,000 was approved to each of the Vice Chairmen as their annual medical allowances.

BEHIND THE SCENCES
Kidnapped SecretsReporters Journalist Stanley Ugagbe Found at Police Headquarters After 48 Hours Blindfolded Over Government Secrets Leak and Petition by CBN Deputy Governor Emem Usoro
Secrets Reporters
Fresh details have emerged regarding the whereabouts of abducted SecretsReporters journalist, Stanley Ugagbe, who was allegedly seized by armed men in mufti on his way home before being taken to his residence, where his laptop and mobile phone were confiscated.
SecretsReporters has obtained videos showing masked security operatives handcuffing and taking Ugagbe away. According to information available to this newspaper, he was intercepted by armed men in Karu, Abuja, while returning home from official training on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at about 6:00 p.m.
Policemen in masks abducting Journalist Stanley Ugagbe
The operatives handcuffed him, took him to his residence in Jikwoyi, seized his work laptop and phone, blindfolded him and drove him to an undisclosed location.
As earlier reported by this newspaper, Ugagbe’s arrest is believed to be connected to a report published by SecretsReporters titled: “EXCLUSIVE: CBN Deputy Governor Emem Usoro Linked to N3.6bn Los Angeles Property Amid Questions Over Asset Declaration Compliance (Part 2).”
Sources said Ugagbe remained blindfolded throughout the night at the first location until Thursday, July 2. He was then driven to another facility, still blindfolded, before the blindfold was removed. SecretsReporters has since established that the facility was the National Cybercrime Centre (NCCC).
Sources within the NCCC told SecretsReporters that one of the petitions against the journalist was submitted by the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Emem Usoro, who reportedly alleged that he published false information about her.
According to the same sources, a second petition, allegedly submitted anonymously, accused the journalist platform of leaking sensitive government information and official secrets considered detrimental by the authorities.
During questioning, Ugagbe reportedly maintained that, as a reporter, he was assigned stories by the management of SecretsReporters and was not the custodian of the source materials used in preparing some investigative reports, as all investigations belongs to the organization.
The sources further stated that he noted that laptops, communication devices and other equipment used by him and other reporters in carrying out their official assignments are company property belonging to SecretsReporters.
Meanwhile, an examination of Ugagbe’s mobile phone call records obtained by SecretsReporters showed that his phone was switched on by security operatives at about 4:00 a.m. on July 2. During that period, four calls were received but went unanswered before the device was switched off again.
The Police is yet to officially own up to kidnapping the journalist.

Exclusive: Ex Militant Tompolo Moves Niger Delta Traditional Rulers To Beg President Tinubu Over N2.1 Trillion Pipeline Surveillance Contract Renewal
Secrets Reporters
The battle for the renewal and cancellation of the N2.1 trillion pipeline surveillance awarded to two companies owned by two cousins namely Tantita Security Services Limited and Maton Engineering Limited has shifted to Abuja.
SecretsReporters can exclusively report that the decentralization of the pipeline surveillance championed by social activist and businessman, Tega Oghenedoro, popularly known as Fejiro Oliver, has led to President Bola Tinubu giving his words to stakeholders that he will split the contract along ethnic line, which has caused worries to Government Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo, who owns Tantita Security company covering the Western Corridors of the pipeline contract. His cousin Matthew Tolangha owns Maton Engineering Limited that covers the central corridor.
To convince the President that his company Tantita be solely responsible for holding the multi trillion Naira contract while subleasing to other minor companies, we can authoritatively report that he has bought flight tickets and reserved hotel accommodation for almost all the Niger Delta traditional rulers, apart from the first class kings who refused the gestures, to meet the President next week Thursday in Abuja. They will be leaving for Abuja on Wednesday, revealed several traditional rulers to this medium. The contract is due for renewal in August 2026 but has faced opposition from major stakeholders under the banner of ‘Guard your pipeline and I guard my own’, led by Fejiro Oliver and former Niger Delta agitators like HRM Ateke Tom, Victor Ben aka General Boyloaf, Ajube aka Shoot at Sight, Ateke Tom and many others. Recently, Niger Delta stakeholders such as Ayiri Emami and Diden Michael aka Ejele also joined in the call for the decentralization of the pipeline surveillance.
“We have been promised $5,000 per person after seeing Mr President, which is different from our already paid return flight tickers and hotel accommodation. We should be around hundred selected kings that will meet the President to discuss Niger Delta issues, pass a vote of confidence on Tinubu, endorse him for a second term, even though we know the main purpose is to tell him to give the contract back to Tompolo next month” narrated a king who craved anonymity. An estimated cost of the logistics and welfare package means over N5 billion may be spent by the warlord on the king’s alone.
The meeting we gathered was made possible by the embattled Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, who is facing national heat for allegedly demanding for over Ten billion Naira bribe from Prince Adeyemi ‘fake’ Presidential Investment Council and the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, who is at the forefront of ensuring that the contract is awarded back to Tompolo despite obvious resistance from the region.
The National Assembly committees on Gas, Midstream, Upstream and Downstream recently passed a vote of confidence on Tantita, a move condemned by stakeholders led by Ijaw Youth Council President, Theophilus Alaye during a two hour live coverage on national television.
Since the award of the contract to the ex militant, local oil bunkering has reduced drastically, yet oil production has been below the OPEC benchmark.
