Grave Secrets: Otti’s Aide Reveals Bizarre Rumors Of Animal Burials In Government House

Ukoha Njoku Ukoha, the Chief Press Secretary to Abia State Governor Alex Otti, has stated that the people of the state are more interested in effective governance than in the Governor’s physical location of operations.

Speaking during a live broadcast of Open Parliament on Family Love FM, Umuahia, Ukoha addressed lingering rumours surrounding the new Government House. He debunked bizarre claims that unusual practices occurred in the building before Governor Otti assumed office.

According to Ukoha, some of the rumours included allegations that live animals—such as cows, vultures, and tortoises—were buried on the premises as part of ritualistic activities aimed at harming the newly elected Governor.

He remarked, “I hope it’s not what I’m thinking. Why is this pressure to move into the Government House coming from the same people who peddled these strange rumours? We heard all sorts of things—claims that cows, vultures, and tortoises were buried and incantations made to eliminate the Governor. Of course, these are unfounded rumours, but one begins to wonder about the motivation behind them.”

Despite the controversy, Ukoha reassured the public that Governor Otti remains focused on delivering developmental projects across Abia State. He noted that extensive renovation work is ongoing at the old Government House, including the refurbishment of the Secretary to the State Government’s (SSG) office and the Government House clinic.

He also praised the administration for significant infrastructural improvements, citing the long-overdue completion of Port Harcourt Road, which had been neglected for years.
