Ohanaeze Ndigbo: Innoson boss is being victimised

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo has defended the Chief Executive of Innoson
Motors, Innocent Chukwuma, condemning the current travails he is
being subjected to.

The group said its attention has been drawn to a court action
instituted against “the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of
Innoson Nigeria Limited, Chief Innocent Chukwuma in which he is
being charged, ostensibly, of obtaining Custom documents
fraudulently.”

A statement by the Special Adviser to the President-General of
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Emeka Attamah said: “Cognizant of the matter
being in court and without any pretence to the veracity of the case
or otherwise, Ohanaeze Ndigbo views the current travails of Chief
Chukwuma as another attempt at hounding another son of Igboland
who, out of personal enterprise and hard work, has helped in
shaping the economic and industrial fortunes of Nigeria.

“We frown at this recent attempt to obfuscate the victory won by
Innoson’s Group against a leading bank. We see the current twist in
the whole affair as a deliberate attempt to put Chief Chukwuma on
the defensive in a matter that clearly vindicates and confers a lot
of financial advantage on him. It will also taint his reputation by
introducing a criminal angle to an already settled civil
proceeding.

“Ohanaeze is carefully studying this discriminatory treatment of
his adversaries and the law enforcement agents with a view to
reviewing the patronage of our people to any economic establishment
found to be associated in this new criminal assault of Chief
Innocent Chukwuma.

“We will no longer do business with any organisation that
denigrates the best of our people.”
