After the contractor, Monimichelle Sports Facility Construction, ignored four invitations from the Benue State House of Assembly and two of its committees, the Speaker, Aondona Dajoh, directed the Commissioner for Youths, Sports and Creativity, Terkimbi Ikyange, to terminate within seven days the contract for the renovation of the Aper Aku stadium, and directed the Attorney General to sue to recover the money paid. The Commissioner said the contractor had collected over ₦1.3 billion and abandoned the work at about 40 percent. The Assembly said it would ask the EFCC to prosecute the firm, and summoned officials of the Ministry of Works accused of inflating the contract sum.
