The Delta State Command of the Department of State Services (DSS) is currently investigating Osedume who was also expelled for related offenses during his studies at Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike.

Top government sources confirmed that Osedume, formerly with the Union Bank, was also sacked after being linked to fraudulent activities.

“While at Union Bank, he also forged the signature of the Students Union Government executive of his former school, Ogwashi-Uku Polytechnic, thereby clearing the account of the said union.

“He was appointed S.A. in 2019 when the governor visited one of the tertiary institutions and watched him speak, an act that impressed him and got him appointed on the spot.

“He is Special Assistant while Jerry Ehiwarior is Senior Special Assistant to the Governor. Jerry was appointed in 2015,” a top source said.

Another source stated, “Osedume has been sacked for forgery and Impersonation. He was sacked for forging the signature of Comrade Jerry Ehiwarior, SSA to the Governor on Students affairs to defraud the state government of over a N14million.

“The case is currently with the Department of State Services, Delta State Command. Before now, the former S.A. Students, Francis, stole the files of the SSA, and that was when the forgery happened.”

GoldenNewsNG learnt that Osedume sent the letter with the forged signature to the governor for approval of about N14million.

“Any approval from him must pass through Jerry, so he forged Jerry’s signature and sent it to the governor. That was when the bubble burst,” a senior official stated.
