*Denies Extortion Allegations, Vow to Testify In CourtAn Abuja-based private investigator, Victor Uwajeh has reacted to a petition written against him by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Public Accounts, Andy Uba, even say he has challenged the senator to produce his original certificates which he says are with him.The Investigator also denied allegation of blackmail and extortion raised against him in a petition by Senator Uba to the Inspector General of Police, stated that he was ready to testify in court with ample evidence to support his claims.Recall that Sen. Uba had on Tuesday accused Uwajeh of trying to blackmail him, urging the IGP to treat his petition with your characteristic urgency and meticulousness.Addressing journalists on Wednesday in Abuja, Mr Uwajeh denied he ever blackmailed the senator as there are evidences to question the fidelity of the lawmakers certificates, for which he paraded before newsmen.Uwajeh explained that: This is a case that is already in court, that is going through the judicial process. One of the things I sought in my plea in court was for an order directing Sen. Andy Uba to collect the originals of his academic certificates being the doctorate degree in Buxton University, degree certificate in science from Concordia University Montreal, Canada, his WAEC certificate and the document from his Boys High School, Awkunanaw. All the originals are with me. Let him come and collect his originals and pay me my money,Sometimes in 2012 I met with Senator Nnamdi Emmanuel Uba who briefed me that he had issue with UK authority because he was banned in 2018 from entering the UK and being a British citizen and a private investigator he wanted me to assist him to lift his exclusion ban from entering United Kingdom and he made available to me some documents relating to that ban.Some of the documents Uwajeh provided included: Application seeking for Judicial relieve to enable him enter UK, he also made documents on grants for hia relieve for the then Home office Secretary Theresa May, who is now British Prime Minister, to lift the exclusion ban against him among others.According to him, the exclusion ban was made in public good of the United Kingdom to exclude him from all territories in UK and the order was sustained.He also explained that when he met Sebator Uba in 2012 at his residence in Asokoro where he gave him Power of Attorney duely signed by both of them to act to wirk on his behalf and that he was going to refund him all the expenses at the end of the job.He added that he also obtained the second Power of Attorney on January 5th 2013 to enable him get a lawyer in the United States to lift the arrest warant placed on him and this was successfully done.In the process of working for him to get his arrest warant lifted with the UK border Authorities. He issued a letter of Authority to me to act on his behalf on his Senate Letter headed paper. I did the job for him satisfactorily.He said: After I have concluded everything, I sought for my professional fees and I sent my bill to him and he kept lingering, he refused to pay neither did he negociate with on payment terms. At this stage, I filled a court process against him seeking for payment of my professional fees. We started the case since 2016 in Justice Merriam Anenih Court and the case was later moved to Court 11 in Apo.So, we have been in Court since 2016. I dont see the reason why he is alluding to blackmail because we are in Court and you can see the documents that were used to served hi which passed through the Clark of the National Assembly and also pasted at his residence at TY Danjuma in Asokoro. This why I dont understand a case that is in Court be termed blackmail.On the issue of certificate forgery, he said in the process of Senator Andy Uba trying to prove that he is a genuine character he presented a lot of documents to be presented to the UK authorities which included some forged documents like WAEC certificate and others which were parts of documents that was filled in Court and has become a public document and WEAC confirmed when we were trying to verified the issue that the certificate of Senator Emmanuel Nnamdi Uba is a forged certificate and I expected the authority to look into it because the issue of forgery in the National Assembly has reached alarming proportion.
