Taraba Activist Alleges Arrest Plot by Minister Maigari Over N16.5bn Namnai Bridge Scandal
Taraba civic activist Abdulmumin Imam has raised alarm over an alleged secret order for his arrest by the Minister of State for Regional Development, Uba Maigari Ahmadu, after he exposed the alleged diversion of N16.5 billion approved for the emergency reconstruction of the collapsed Namnai Bridge. The bridge, which fell in August 2024, remains unrepaired 15 months later despite federal approval and contract awards. Imam detailed multiple deaths and ongoing hardships faced by residents cut off by the collapse. He accused the minister of lobbying to divert the funds to a non-emergency road project while leaving the bridge untouched. Family sources said no formal summons was issued before the alleged arrest plot. Efforts to reach the minister were unsuccessful at the time of reporting.
