Barely six months after assuming office, the new Director General of the NTDC (Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation) , Mrs Sally Uwechue- Mbanefo is swimming in the murky waters of allegations of corruption.

Along with some top officials of the agency, Sally is being investigated for an alleged N270m fraud.

And the case has reached such an extent that anti corruption agency E.F.C.C ( Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) has invited and questioned all parties involved.
Insiders revealed ‘the new D.G and her agents are so embroiled in the matter that, they were only allowed to leave the office of the E.F.C.C based on administrative bail’.

And a travel ban slammed on ‘them’ as investigations continues.

The ‘official’ car of one of the accused identified as ‘the C.S.0’ was reportedly impounded till circumstances sorrounding it’s acquisition were cleared.

The case against Mbanefo and her aides centres on illegal manouevering in ‘allocating budgets’ and ‘ approving expenditures’.

A concerned insider is said to have discovered the anomaly and petitioned the E.F.C.C with supporting evidences.

Six top staffers of the NTDC- including the D.G and the ‘C.S.0’- are involved in the ongoing case.

Mbanefo, a former banker and top staffer of Lafarge Cement Wapco Nig Plc assumed her present post in May 2013.
