Mr. Dafe Sejebor, former Group General Manager of National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS), has been discharged of alleged sex/human trafficking charges in the United States of America.
BIGPEN had reported that Sejebor was last year arrested by the Houston Police Department over his alleged involvement in human trafficking.
The allegation and charge of sex trafficking against Dafe Sejebor was dismissed on February 19, 2020, Mr. Mark W. Bennett, counsel to Sejebor, disclosed in a statement dated 31 July, 2020.
”Mr. Dafe Sejebor was arrested on March 27, 2019, and erroneously charged with misdemeanor prostitution.
”Reports that Mr. Sejebor was arrested for or accused of sex trafficking are entirely false ”.
Mark W. Bennett, further affirmed ”the charge against Mr. Sejebor was dismissed on February 19, 2020, and the official records have been expunged by Court order of May 20, 2020 (Expunction Order 2920-15803). There will be no legal consequences from this arrest. He may lawfully deny, even under oath, that the arrest ever occurred ”.
However, reacting to the dismissal of the allegation against Dafe Sejebor, an Urhobo youth leader, Mr. Edewo Umukoro, congratulated Sejebor, adding that the dismissal has vindicated the former Group General Manager of National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS).
Mukoro, noted that the development is good for the image of Urhobo Nation in Delta state and Nigeria as a country.
He said that Sejebor is a well respected and illustrious son of Urhobo Nation and patriotic Nigerian, that served the country diligently and meritoriously for 35 years before he retired from NAPIMS, a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), in October 2017.
Mukoro, condemned the attempt to tarnish the image of an innocent Nigerian with false accusation of sex and human trafficking.
He called on the Federal Government and Nigerians to disregard the incident, adding that with the dismissal of the charge, Dafe Sejebor has made Nigeria proud before the international community.
