Dominic, Nigerian mega rich civil servant, finally docked after years of evading arraignment, attempting to kidnap whistleblower

A mega rich Nigerian civil servant reportedly worth billions in local currency, Mrs. Regina Dominic, has finally landed on the dock after years of evading arraignment and attempting to kidnap whistleblower for exposing her.

Mrs. Dominic, a staff of National Sports Commission (NSC), Abuja, was exposed in an investigative report by News Band.

The report followed a revelation by whistleblowers under the aegis of Eagle Eye Transparency International, a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO).

According to the NGO which prides itself with the responsibility of “exposing corruption in all spheres of human endeavors”, Dominic was finally docked on Thursday, July 11, 2024.

She was docked after years of evading being charged to court, allegedly bribing her way through.

She was also alleged to have used some unscrupulous elements in the police to kidnap the whistleblower that exposed her, Dr. George Davidson.

How it all started

Eagle Eye Transparency had queried her source of income, reportedly living above her means and declared assets.

According to the News Band report, Dominic is a Grade Level 8 civil servant, yet a director of a private company.

While still in public service, she was worth well over 500 million Naira way back in 2019.

Her assets in the current state of the Naira are adjudged to be worth over two billion Naira.

Besides owning a company, plus a huge sum reportedly found in her bank account, she also owns buildings and estates in Abuja.

The reports also showed that Dominic boasts of fleet of exotic cars and lives in a sprawling estate.

Following the expose, unknown gunmen, later understood to be policemen, had kidnapped Dr. Davidson.

The gunmen had stormed his residence in Abuja, beat him to stupor and whisked him to an unknown destination.

Police inconsistency

After revelation, the whistleblower informed the medium that the office of the IGP-Monitoring Team chose to detain the whistleblower.

Meanwhile, they left the accused person to wander freely.

Consequently, Dr. Davidson was sent to prison twice on the pretext that he gave false information about Dominic.

Even officials of the Independent Corrupt Practices & Other Related Offences Commission [ICPC] would later join the fray of persecution against Davidson.

Among the ICPC officials accused by Davidson of coming under the payroll of Dominic were Mr. Innocent Ofili, Mr. Lawal, and Mr. Ekoi Akponimisi’nha Osuobeni.

Meanwhile, Mr. Akponimisi’nha Osuobeni, a “lawyer”, was recently alleged to be a fake and an impostor.

In a petition, whistleblowers had asked the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee to initiate a “holistic screening of the most corrupted ICPC “legal practitioner” in the name of Osuobeni, Ekoi Akponimis’ngha”.

The petitioners alleged that Osuobeni was not registered to practice law as published by the Punch Newspaper and The Vanguard Newspaper.

They, therefore, called for a discreet investigation on him.

Regarding Osuobeni, Eagle Eye Transparency said in a memo to Diaspora Digital Media (DDM):

“His name was not found in the Supreme Court roll of lawyers called to the Nigerian Bar and severally dragged our agent to prison frivolously.

“Osuobeni Akponimis’ngha Ekoi of the ICPC, a hunting dog of the former chairmen, is a desperado whose conscience is dead and subverts the cause of Justice.”

Respecting Regina Dominic, the NGO stated: “She went to the extent of using another Criminally minded police officer to intimidate our agent Dr George Davidson.

“They sent him to Suleja prison after detaining him for four months in the NPF facility during the COVID saga.”

Regina Dominic in court

In the latest development eventually, the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) reluctantly charged her to court.

The NGO, however, expressed reservations that the defendant’s properties were not fully attached to the charges.

It implied that “there is intent to conceal some of her properties for reasons known to the investigator, Pius Ukah.

In a petition, file number ST/301/224B1D/2024, dated 10th July 2024, and addressed to the Acting CCB Chairman, Eagle Eye Transparency questioned the rationale behind concealing some of the properties belonging to Dominic.

In the Freedom of Information Act (FoIA) request signed by its Assistant Research Analyst, Musa Bello, the NGO stated:

“We request detailed information (in the case involving Dominic) as follows:

1. Where are the places of the exhibits submitted to the team of investigators by the petitioner?
2. Was it a mere intelligence or a formally written petition to the chairman Code of Conduct
Bureau?
2a. If the answer to the above is a petition, why is the Petitioner not a witness?
3. Why are all the evidence supplied to the investigation team not in the charge sheet as filed?
4. What about the evidence such as lands, six (6) cars, Opilafu Oil and Gas documents: why
are they not exhibited in the charge?
5. Why is the Petitioner not listed as a witness?

“We shall invoke the appropriate section of the law if you failed to address and respond within Seven
(7) as stipulated by this Act,” the NGO warned.

DDM will publish all developments as they relate to the arraignment of Mrs. Dominic in subsequent bulletins.
