Aniebonam threatens to expel Umeadi, KLT chapter chair, from NAGAFF over anti-association conduct.

Eyewitness reporter
Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, the de facto founder of the National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF) has threatened to wield the big stick against one of his field commanders, Engr. Emmanuel Umeadi, over his role in the Clarion bonded terminal controversy.
It would be recalled that NAGAFF 100 percent Compliance team, headed by Alhaji Ibrahim Tanko, had last week picketed Clarion bonded terminal over infractions in terminal operational procedures.
The action had irked Umeadi who complained of not being carried along in the operation, casting aspersion on the team and its chairman.
However, in a strongly worded terse statement personally signed by Aniebonam and obtained by our reporter, the NAGAFF founder frowned at the utterances and conduct of the KLT Chairman which he considered anti-association and totally uncalled for.
“My attention as the founder of NAGAFF has been drawn to the several unguided public utterances of Engr Emmanuel Umeadi of NAGAFF KLT chapter with respect to the activities of 100% compliance team of NAGAFF under Ibrahim Tanko leadership.
“What may be playing out at the moment is that Engr Emmanuel Umeadi is running the risk of being expelled from NAGAFF.
“Tanko Ibrahim is an officer of NAGAFF who is carrying on with his mandate in the 100% compliance team of NAGAFF in accordance with the constitutional provisions and directives of the leadership of NAGAFF at all levels.
“The related case of NAGAFF and Clarion terminal is being investigated by the Tin can command of the Nigeria customs service.
” It is the duty of the customs to deal with the observation and or complaint of the members of NAGAFF in relation to the subject matter under reference.
“At the moment, it is to our knowledge that the matter is receiving due attention for resolution.
” In due course, NAGAFF may make a further statement” declared the NAGAFF High Commander.
Our reporter gathered that Umeadi, whose tenure as the chairman of the KLT Chairman has expired, may not retain his seat in the coming elections in the chapter even if he eventually escapes the hammer of the founder of NAGAFF.
