There is no respite yet for Senator Stella Oduah, representing Anambra North Senatorial district, at the National Assembly, as a Lagos lawyer, Ken Ahia has filed an application before a Federal high Court on behalf of Union Homes Savings and loans Plc to join as an intervener in the on going debt recovery suit filed against the Senator and her company, Sea Petroleum Oil and Gas Group limited by Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria AMCON.

Union Homes Savings and Loan Plc (the applicant) is contending that Oduah, Sea Petroleum Oil and Gas Company and five directors of the company namely, Okoh Davis Ifeanyi, Enechukwu Humphrey, Aaekenwa Theophilous Aguguom, Mrs Nwakaego Ageyingbo and Emmanuel Nnamdi Nwobu are owing the company about N385,750,000.
