In another case involving a Senator, who was implicated in the Panama Papers for offshore property, Obono-Obla claimed his attempts to investigate the matter were stymied despite presenting evidence to relevant authorities.

IN another development, the member representing Ikwuano, Umuahia North and South Federal Constituency, Obi Aguocha, has sought the support of the former President, Buhari, for the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra , Nnamdi Kanu.
