Former
governor of Imo State, Dr. Ikedi Ohahim has without reservations, denies the
fraud allegations brought against him by one Ms Chinyere Amuchinwa, who accused
him of diverse issues that bothered on money.
But
in a swift response, the former governor denies all issues raised by her, and
accused her of trying to blackmail, extort and defame his person.
Part
of the former governor’s response made by his Political Adviser, Emmanual
Chukwu reads: “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 Ms Chinyere Lilian Amuchinwa and 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 Ms 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 request for the goods,
acknowledgment receipt and the address of 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 toss”.
In
the coming days, the world and Ms Amuchinwa would be hearing more from Dr
Ohakim on this matter.
