It is confirmed, flamboyant publisher Nduka Obaigbena is out of the clutches of ant corruption agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

He has paid back all required funds, gotten back his international passport and now enjoys boundless freedom of movements.

But the owner of the newspaper we all love to read is quietly running into another trouble with operations of his soar away publications.

‘’the unpaid salaries are mounting and the finicky attention that promised to open another chapter of success with the paper fast fading off’’ a source stated.
According to information available, when EFCC grounded Obaigbena with the seizure of his passport until government money traced to him refunded – the newspaper owner blazing trails with this and that project had turned his attention fully to re transforming his paper into a force that would make ‘’detractors’’ think twice before coming after him again.

This was after he had pruned his herd by ‘’sacking’’ disenchanted members after protest by workers over unpaid salaries.

Sources confirmed he paid some of the ‘’outstanding’’ to boast confidence in the retained employees.

The ‘’publisher’’ as fondly called in some quarters had laid down and implemented new policies that involved multiple meetings to perfect ideas and perfect executions for the improvement of the national newspaper.

And he was always on hand to oversee things, and even gone as far as to lure in influence pullers in different spaces of journalism.

Information filtering in have it ‘’the new rule’’ and it’s ‘’promise’’ lasted as long as it took him to regain free movement with payment of his ‘’debt’’ to EFCC.

Out of EFCC clutches and with his international passport back in his possession the ‘’Duke’’ as addressed in other quarters is said to have returned to his former ways – eyes off his cash cow.

‘’His attention is shifted again…his focus obviously moved to other things’’ a source stated.

And the cost of this development is labelled mounting unpaid staff salaries and the bright promises of never before seen successes of a newspaper Obaigbena’s attention held while it lasted.

‘’with this attitude it is safe to say his quietly and steadily running into another problem waiting at the turn of the bend either with his workers or any other of his publics’’ a source explained.

‘’I just hope he gets out of it like he usually does’’ another interjected.
Digs revealed when he started out, Obaigbena’s strong committed and attention to the operations of publication transformed him into a loved and feared stakeholder in economic and government matters. His social recognition was a natural bye product of the successes of his publications.

But 16 years of enjoying this ‘’status’’ with the Government in power then appeared to have greatly changed his focus.

The allure had kept him afloat as he suffered embarrassing workers protest and strike home and abroad over unpaid salaries.

And even helped him to survive the all time low point of the misadventure of game changer that went down the drain- the international project known as Arise Magazine and T.V.

‘’Because of his status back home and we loved to read the paper, Thisday helped him weather the storm in the era of a government that feared and loved him at the same time, we are in a different situation and hopefully he changes strategy and the mistakes of the past don’t come back to haunt him’’ a source pointed out.
