KARMA IS A BITCH: Lauretta Onochie Becomes Stranded, Homeless, After Fleeing To UK

 


Lauretta Onochie, the former Chairperson of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), finds herself in a precarious situation in the United Kingdom, according to information gathered by SaharaReporters.

Following President Bola Tinubu's decision to dismiss the board she led, Onochie reportedly fled Nigeria for the UK. Her sudden departure may be related to the financial scandals that plagued the NDDC during her tenure.

Upon arriving in the UK, she sought refuge in her cousin's apartment in Barking Town, East London. However, she was met with rejection and eviction from the property.

A family member, speaking anonymously to SaharaReporters, shared, "Lauretta Onochie has fled to the UK and she's currently homeless because she doesn't have anywhere to stay. Seems she wasn't expecting her dismissal yet. The President's decision really shocked her.

"On getting to the UK, she made an attempt to force herself into her cousin’s house in Salamanca Place, Barking Essex. She started blackmailing her cousin emotionally to accept her into his house as she had nowhere else to go in the UK. She said she was a victim of a witch-hunt by the Tinubu government and that she needed somewhere she couldn’t be traced to for the time being.

"This is someone who abandoned her family members while in power; she didn’t even know the children of this cousin of hers till she got to his place during the week. Karma started too early if you asked me; a whole Lauretta now homeless in the UK."

Videos obtained by SaharaReporters show Onochie facing difficulties in her cousin's East London residence. In one of the videos, her cousin's daughter confronts her, expressing her displeasure with sharing a room with Onochie.

Despite the controversy surrounding her nomination in December 2022, Onochie was confirmed by the Senate as the substantive Chairperson of NDDC. Prior to this role, she served as Buhari’s Special Assistant on New Media.

During her tenure as NDDC board chairperson, Onochie faced allegations of attempting to assume the role of the commission's accounting officer, contrary to the law. The NDDC Act 2000 designates the Managing Director as the chief executive and accounting officer of the commission, responsible for its day-to-day administration, while the board has a supervisory role over NDDC management.

In May, SaharaReporters reported Onochie's request for a mansion, cars, and full control over contractors from the Managing Director, Samuel Ogbuku, which was not approved, according to sources.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
