The office of the inspector-general of police (IGP) will on
February 15 arraign Ikedi Ohakim, former governor of Imo state, over alleged
harassment of one Chinyere Amuchinwa.
The former governor is to be arraigned alongside one Chinedu
Okpareke before Taiwo Taiwo, federal high court judge, 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”.
According to the police, the offence is punishable under
Section 24(1)(a) of the Cybercrime Act 2015.
Some of the charges reads: ”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.
”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 to cause annoyance and criminal
intimidation to one Chinyere Amuchienwa ‘f’ and thereby committed an offence
punishable under Section 27 (1)(a) of the Cybercrime Act 2015.
”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
called and threatened one Chinyere Amuchienwa ‘f’ that if she does not drop the
first information charge of attempted kidnap against by it and others at large,
the nude pictures of the said Chinyere
Amuchienwa ‘f’ will be posted to CNN and all over the world and thereby
committed an offence punishable under Section 24 (1)(a) of the Cybercrime Act
2015.”
Ohakim is also standing trial before a federal capital
territory (FCT) high court in Maitama on a three-count charge bordering on
criminal defamation against Amuchienwa.
