HERE IS THE SUMMARY
In 2024, Kariyai Daukoru, then a 400-level Petroleum Engineering student at Igbinedion University and a father of three, applied for an aviation scholarship program announced by Bayelsa businessman Dr. Eruani Azibapu.
According to Kariyai, the program was advertised as an opportunity for the brightest Bayelsa youths to be trained in the United States as pilots and aircraft engineers. He claims participants were told that successful candidates would be flown to the US and that partnerships existed with organizations and institutions that would make the process seamless.
A total of 776 people reportedly applied for the program. After a screening exercise and examination involving 155 candidates, Kariyai says only two people met the required pass mark: himself and another candidate, Yebei Ebilate.
Following their success, Kariyai alleges that they were publicly presented as beneficiaries of the scholarship and that announcements were made suggesting they would travel to the United States within days.
However, he claims the promised trip never happened.
According to his account, they were later informed that they would first have to undergo a six-month probationary period working under the Azikel Group before being allowed to travel. Kariyai says he and the other candidate objected because they had applied for a scholarship program, not employment, but felt pressured to accept after allegedly being told that refusing would mean forfeiting the opportunity.
Kariyai claims he subsequently put his university education and personal business activities on hold in order to comply with the requirements of the program. He alleges that what was presented as a temporary probation period eventually stretched to approximately sixteen months.
During that time, he says they carried out various duties related to aviation operations, administration, and other assignments. He further alleges that they were repeatedly assured that arrangements for their overseas training were still being processed.
As months passed without any progress, Kariyai says he and his colleague began seeking answers from management. According to him, multiple letters requesting clarification were ignored, while officials allegedly distanced themselves from responsibility for the program.
He further claims that investigations carried out by himself revealed that some of the international partnerships and arrangements that had allegedly been referenced during the promotion of the scholarship could not be verified. He states that inquiries he made to foreign organizations produced responses that contradicted what participants had been led to believe.
According to Kariyai, these developments convinced him that the scholarship program was never intended to achieve the objectives that had been publicly advertised.
Believing he had been misled, he filed a lawsuit against Dr. Eruani Azibapu at the Bayelsa State High Court in February 2026.
Kariyai alleges that after filing the suit, he became the target of a campaign aimed at discrediting him. He claims statements were circulated portraying him as dishonest and attempting to undermine his credibility.
He also alleges that criminal complaints were later filed against him over social media posts connected to the dispute. According to his account, he was arrested, detained, and spent several months in custody while the legal battle continued.
Kariyai further claims that pressure was placed on him to withdraw his lawsuit and abandon his claims against Dr. Eruani. Despite this, he says he chose to continue pursuing the matter through the courts.
Throughout his statement, Kariyai maintains that he is not seeking sympathy but accountability. He argues that the case goes beyond his personal experience and raises broader questions about how scholarship programs are administered and whether young people can rely on public promises made by influential individual

God bless you
