Dave Umahi and the 5 Missing NELAN Engineers.

The firm assigned five of its best engineers to the project. They were:

• Engr. Nelson Onyemeh — Lead Consultant/CEO of NELAN Consultants, from Ihiala, Anambra State.
• Engr. Ernest Edeani — From Nkanu, Enugu State.
• Engr. Ikechukwu Ejiofor — From Umunya, Anambra State.
• Engr. Samuel Aneke — From Nkanu, Enugu State.
• Engr. Stanley Nwazulum — From Amawbia, Anambra State.

During the course of the project, serious tensions reportedly arose between NELAN and the Umahi administration over project control and payments. According to the families of the five engineers, the Umahi government allegedly wanted NELAN to "take a back seat" so the state could exercise direct control, issue payment certificates, and give instructions to contractors.

The then-Governor Dave Umahi reportedly wanted NELAN to sign or approve certificates of satisfactory completion for work supervised or executed by other engineers and contractors. NELAN allegedly refused, arguing that doing so would violate the AfDB contract terms, breach its professional obligations, and risk the firm, and possibly the project—being blacklisted by the AfDB.

On November 3, 2021, the five engineers left Enugu for Ebonyi State in an official Toyota Hilux (registration number ERR 001 EB) for site supervision. They never returned, and, to this day, neither they nor their remains have been found.

What happened to the five NELAN engineers?

UMAHI AND THE FIVE MISSING NELAN ENGINEERS

Many Nigerians may have heard that five Enugu-based Engineers (all Igbo) who had issues with Dave Umahi when he was the governor of Ebonyi state went to work in Ebonyi sometime in 2021 and never returned home till date but only a few know the full gist. Come with me as we dive into the detail of what has come to be known as the ‘NELAN FIVE’.

Sometime in 2021, when the current Nigeria’s minister of works, Senator Engineer David Nweze Umahi, CON was the governor of Ebonyi state, it happened that the Umahi led government felt the need to construct the Abakaliki Ring Road with loan from the African Development Bank (AFDB) and as is the case with many project funded by the AfDB, part of the condition for the loan was that AN INDEPENDENT CONSULTING FIRM would be employed to supervise the project to ensure the construction followed the terms upon which the loan was agreed.

These Police Officers just parked me at Bolade, Oshodi, pointed guns at me, and forced me to transfer N100,000 them. When my bank app showed "exceeded transfer limit", they dragged me to a nearby POS to do it with my card.

They initially demanded 150k each.
They were 4 in number.
