Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja has today fixed January 17, 2022, for the arraignment of former Governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim. Ohakim and Chinedu Okpaleke are being prosecuted by the Federal Government for allegedly threatening to release nude photographs of an Abuja based lady, Chinyere Amuchienwa, if she fails to drop charges of attempted kidnap against them.
The adjournment follows on the non-availability of the defendants from the court proceedings which according to his counsel was as a result of health issues. Also recall that, on September 27, Justice Taiwo ruled that the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami has freed power to take over the case after he applied to the court to take over the matter.
