The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) will on February 15 arraign former governor of Imo state, Ikedi Ohakim before justice Taiwo Taiwo of the federal high court, Maitama over alleged harassment of a lady known as Chinyere Amuchinwa.
The former Governor is to be arraigned alongside one Chinedu Okpareke , on a five-count charge bordering on cybercrime.
Okpareke was earlier arrested and detained in connection with the alleged offences but was released upon fulfilment of his bail conditions.
According to the charge marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/287/2020, the accused persons were said to have threatened to release a nude photograph of Amuchienwa, if she fails to drop the charges of attempted kidnap against them.
In the charge dated November 25, 2020 and signed by M.O. Omosun, a lawyer, the Police alleged that Ohakim and Okpareke “knowingly and intentionally transmitted communication through a computer system or network to harass and bully Amuchienwa”.
Ohakim is also facing trial before a federal capital territory (FCT) high court in Maitama on a three-count charge bordering on criminal defamation against Amuchienwa
