Alleged N*de Photos: Court Fixes Sept 27 To Rule On AGF/Police Feud Over Ohakim

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Thursday fixed
September 27 to decide on the application brought before it by the
Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of
Justice to take over a case against a former governor of Imo State,
Ikedi Ohakim.

The complainant, Chinyere Amuchienwa, had alleged that Ohakim
threatened to release her nude pictures. This prompted the police
to file charges bordering on threat to life against the
ex-governor.

When the matter came up on Thursday before Justice Taiwo Taiwo,
a lawyer from the AGF’s office, Bagudu Sani, informed the court
that the police had transferred the case file to the office after
filing a notice of discontinuance.

Sani also told the court that the office of the AGF had filed an
affidavit of compliance to that effect.

Counsel for the police, Rufus Dimkpa, while adopting his
counter-affidavit, urged the court to grant the notice of
discontinuance and strike out the charge.

However, counsel for the former governor, Emeka Etiaba (SAN),
opposed the AGF’s application to take over the matter.

Etiaba urged the court to dismiss the AGF’s application, stating
that the affidavit of compliance did not affect the notice of
withdrawal of the charge.
Justice Taiwo adjourned till September 27 to rule on the
application.”
