Press Release, August 12, 2020

To: All Media

From: Emmanuel Chukwu, Political Adviser to His Excellency, Dr. Ikedi Ohakim (former Governor of Imo State).

Earlier today, being 12th August 2020, we woke to a defamatory and injurious publication by Thisday newspapers bearing several serious but false allegations against His Excellency, Dr. Ikedi Ohakim. The allegations were contained in a Counter-Petition filed on July 8, 2020, against Dr. Ohakim by one Mrs. Chinyere Lilian Amuchinwa. By this Press Release, the allegations are hereby denied in their entirety.

First, the allegations are, to say the least, most ludicrous and laughable. They all together constitute an elaborate and audacious scheme by Mrs. Amuchinwa (currently a criminal suspect) to blackmail, extort and otherwise defame the person of Dr. Ohakim. In the Thisday story, Ms. Amuchinwa presented herself as “businesswoman”, but did not state the nature of her enterprise and her business address, if any. And to be sure, Ms. Amuchinwa had filed this counter-petition as an afterthought to an ongoing investigation of her criminal conducts towards Dr. Ohakim, based on a Petition Dr. Ohakim had filed against her and upon which she was arrested as far back as 20th January 2020, seven clear months before she was recruited to file her false Petition. We are fully aware of her nefarious sponsors.

Second, in purporting to have supplied luxury goods worth N110m to Dr. Ohakim, she did not state the exact nature of these goods, evidence of a request for the goods, acknowledgment receipt, and the address of the transaction. And why would her fake invoices be in foreign currency, especially in Euros when she does not have any shop in Europe?

Third, in claiming to have made N500m payment to Dr. Ohakim for purchase of land, she dishonestly left out whether such was made through the banking system. As of a fact, if such payment ever existed, it is very easy to track money trail through the banking system. Did she make the payment in cash, foreign currency, or how really? Even at that, N500m is certainly a huge sum, so she certainly would require a large bullion van making multiple trips to convey such quantum cash.

Fourth, Ms. Amuchinwa’s Petition constitutes a disingenuous lie concocted from the pit of hell. Dr. Ohakim will, therefore, go to any length and vigorously prove his innocence and ensure that an unconscionable blackmailer/defamer is brought to justice alongside her enablers and co-conspirators. If she had gotten away with blackmail in the past, now she has met her waterloo. As the sages say: “To be toss is nothing but to be safely tossed”.

In the coming days, the world and Ms. Amuchinwa would be hearing more from Dr. Ohakim on this matter.

Thank you.

Signed:

Emmanuel Chukwu
Political Adviser to Dr. Ikedi Ohakim
