An Abuja Federal High Court has mandated the police to produce a former governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim unfailingly before his court after he was charged for pornographic assault and harassment of a lady, Chinyere Amuchienwa. Upon assertions of irregularities in serving the former governor the charge, sheet the court asked the police to produce Ohakim on March 3, the next adjourned date.

GWG had reported that Ohakim was supposed to have been arraigned on Monday. He was to have been arraigned along with a fellow accused, Chnedu Okpareke.

However, the defendants were absent in court.

Lawyer to Okpareke told Justice Taiwo Taiwo, the presiding judge that his client had not been served with the court paper.

Upon the claim, Justice Taiwo case adjourned to March 3 for the arraignment of the former governor with an instruction to the Police to produce Ohakim and his co-defendant on that day.

The two accused were alleged to have harassed Ms. Chinyere Amuchinwa to the intent of also sending the lady’s nude pictures viral if she should refuse to drop an earlier charge that they attempted to kidnap her.

The allegations were contained in the charge sheet FHC/ABJ/CS/287/2020, in which the two were alleged to have threatened to release a nude photograph of Amuchienwa if she fails to drop the charges of attempted kidnap against them.

In the five-count charge dated November 25, 2020, which was issued by by M.O. Omosun, Ohakim and Okpareke are accused of intentionally transmitting communication through a computer system or network to harass and bully Amuchienwa.

One of the charges for which Ohakim is to be arraigned read, “That you Chinendu Okpareke ‘m’ 49, and Dr Ikedi Ohakim ‘m’ and others now at large on the 13th day of August 2020 within the jurisdiction of this court did conspire among yourselves by knowingly and intentionally send messages by means of computer system or network in a grossly offensive, pornographic, nude of an indecent obscene and menacing character of one Chinyere Amuchienwa ‘f’ and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 27 (1)(a) of the Cybercrime Act 2015.”

It is believed that the new case of indecency may be connected to the earlier case in which it was reported to have arisen from a love relationship turned sour.

Mr Ohakim and Chinedu Okpareke were sued by the police over allegations of threatening and harassing a woman named Chinyere Amuchienwa.
