Former Electricity Company CEO Tinuade Sanda Faces Mounting Questions About Credentials

In a bombshell revelation that has sent shockwaves through the corporate world, the former Managing Director and CEO of a major electricity company in Nigeria, Tinuade Sanda, has been exposed as a brazen liar and academic fraudster.

The revelations shook the corporate world, shattering the carefully crafted image of Sanda as a trailblazing, accomplished leader who had shattered the proverbial glass ceiling through sheer talent and integrity. But the harsh glare of public scrutiny has now exposed the ugly truth behind her meteoric rise to the top.

Sanda's claims of holding prestigious degrees from the likes of the University of Edinburgh and Harvard Business School have been systematically dismantled through extensive investigations. The findings are as damning as they are shocking. The University of Edinburgh, for instance, has categorically stated that it does not offer any MBA program in Strategic Planning, despite Sanda's bold assertions on her resume and LinkedIn profile.

Even worse is Sanda's alleged "Doctor of Philosophy in Financial Management and Entrepreneurship" from the dubious ICON University in the Republic of Benin – a country that has, in recent years, become notorious as a hub for the mass production of fake academic credentials.

A closer inspection of ICON University's own website, replete with grammatical errors and grandiose claims, is enough to raise serious doubts about the credibility of the institution and the validity of the degree it claims to have awarded Sanda.

These allegations make one wonder just how Sanda was able to ascend to the pinnacle of corporate power, securing such a prestigious position, despite the apparent lack of qualifying credentials.

As the scandal continues to unfold, the public is left grappling with the sheer audacity of Sanda's lies and the extent to which she was willing to go to maintain her facade of success. Her claims of having "shattered the corporate glass ceiling through hard work, intellect and integrity" now ring hollow, and her aspirations to be a mentor to young, aspiring girls have been irrevocably tarnished.

The unfolding saga surrounding Tinuade Sanda serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the dire consequences of ethical misconduct and the urgent need for stronger verification mechanisms in the corporate world. As the dust settles on her tenure, the episode prompts a broader reflection on the importance of honesty, accountability, and the true meaning of leadership in the business landscape.

The revelations have not only exposed Sanda's personal failings but have also raised serious questions about the regulatory oversight and corporate governance that enabled her ascent, despite the apparent inauthenticity of her credentials. This scandal serves as a stark reminder that the integrity and credibility of individuals entrusted with critical roles must be beyond reproach, lest they discredit the very institutions they seek to lead.

As the fallout from this bombshell exposé continues to reverberate, one can only hope that the lessons learned will inspire a renewed commitment to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct and professional integrity in the corporate world. For Tinuade Sanda, the downfall from the pinnacle of power to the depths of disgrace serves as a cautionary tale for all those who would seek to climb the corporate ladder through dishonest

Flagrant Disobedient of Court Orders By the Chief of Defence Staff And the Chief of Defence Intelligent Agency

On the 8/01/2024 the vessel MT KALI and 13 crew members (while on sea trial from Lagos to Port Harcourt) after a major repairs on the vessel, were arrested by the men of the Tantita Security Services (TSS) on suspicion of their involvement in Dealing on Petroleum Product without License.

The vessel and her crew members were later transferred to Defence Intelligent Agency (DIA) on the instructions of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) for further investigation.

The Law Firm of Obinna M Ofodile & Co. were briefed by the owners of the vessel to undertake legal services on behalf of the vessel owning company.

After the transfer of the crew members to the DIA all efforts of their family members and lawyers from the law firm to visit their love ones and clients was vehemently rejected by the DIA, as they were confined and kept incommunicado.

On the 22/01/2024 the law firm of Obinna M Ofodile & Co. secured a court order of the Federal High Court, sitting in Warri, Delta State, via a Suit No. FHC/WR/CS/5/2024 directing the DIA to allow “…Mr. David Adeboye (the captain of the vessel) and the 12 crew member unhindered access to their lawyer in preparation for their defense.”

Several letters attaching the court order was sent to the Chief of DIA to allow the crew members access to their family members and their lawyer. However, the Chief of DIA has refused to obey the court order.

The Nigerian Police saddled with the responsibility of protecting lives and properties of all Nigerians and the internal security of the nation via the provision of section 4 (d) of the Nigerian Police Act, 2020, was mandated to carry out an in-depth investigation into the matter, after which the police has filed a charge in the Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja in Charge No. FHC/ABJ/CR/18/2024, the charge had come up in the court on 12/02/2024 and 26/02/2024 and the Police were unable to produce the defendants for their plea, citing the refusal of the DIA to transfer the defendants to the police for arraignment, despite letters written to the CDS by the Inspector General of Police.

The court frowned at the inability of the Police to produce the defendants for arraignment; the matter was further adjourned to the 18th day of March, 2024 for arraignment.

The public should please ask the Chief of Defence Staff, why the daley in releasing our clients for trial?

On July, 2023,(as reported by the PUNCH news-paper) the Chief of Defence Staff, Major General Christopher Musa, lamented the delay in the trial of suspects handed over to civil authorities for prosecution, the same CDS is slowing down the wheel of justice by not allowing the arraignment of the crew members on board the vessel MT KALI, what has gone wrong?
