ENUGU—Former members of Enugu State House of Assembly, who served between 1999 and 2003, have asked the state government to pay them their entitlements estimated at over N385.8 million owed them since 2003.

Facilitator of the group, Hyacinth Nsude, said that out of the 24 members that make up the House, nine members were selected and paid all their entitlements by the then Governor Chimaroke Nnamani, leaving 14 of them who opposed his “dictatorship.”

This was even as one of the former legislators, Ogbo Asogwa, has denied ever asking that the state acting Chief Judge, Justice Ngozi Emehielu, should not be made the substantive Chief Judge. Asogwa said  that as a commissioner in the present administration, he should not be seen fighting another official of the same government.

However, Nsude, further said that one of them, Linus Ali, has died, leaving his family in penury as he was denied all his entitlements.
