Group Names Masterminds in Plot to Impeach Imo Deputy Governor

Published

on

A group under the aegis of Imo Equity has insisted on its allegation that Nneoma Nkechi Okorocha, wife of Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, is colluding with their son-in-law, Hon. Uche Nwosu, and others in an impeachment plot against the state Deputy Governor, Prince Eze Madumere.

The group through its Coordinator, Paschal Udochi, averred in a press statement on Sunday that recent developments in the state have vindicated them.

The leader of the group revealed that the recent pairing of the Speaker of Imo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Acho Ihim, with Governor Okorocha’s son-in-law has vindicated their claim.

According to the statement, “We are aware of the pairing of Rt. Hon. Acho Ihim of Imo State House of Assembly with Governor Okorocha’s son-in-law, Hon. Uche Nwosu.

“This development has in no little way validated our revelation of Governor Okorocha’s wife, son-in-law, a dethroned majority leader of the state legislature, among others’ grand plot to oust Imo Deputy Governor.”

Imo Equity therefore urged Governor Okorocha to call his wife to order, adding that she is over-reaching herself. The group wondered about “the paradox of hate that surrounds Mrs. Okorocha and outward pretentious lifestyle of a godly woman.”

However, in a twist, Prince Madumere while responding to newsmen at the VIP Lounge of Port Harcourt International Airport, yesterday, described the impeachment plot as a mere fallacy.

Said Madumere, upon his return from a trip to Abuja: “My brothers, I was not in the state when the said impeachment plot was raised. I described such as mere rumour if not fallacious. Many of you may not know may position in this government. I am an integral part of rescue mission government. I have paid my dues and have kept faith with the policies of the government I am part of. I do not believe it. I have not been served. However, when I get to the state, I should be able to know the real state of things but there is no cause for alarm.”

Anambra State Government Arrests Man For Marrying Off His Underage Daughter

Published

on

The Anambra State Government has arrested one Uzochukwu Okoli, for marrying off his underaged daughter.

Okoli was apprehended after his daughter reported to the State Ministry of Women and Social Welfare about the alleged ill-treatment being meted out to her by her father and the man he forced her to marry.

The daughter, Chioma Okoli, who is currently 16 years old, said after the death of her mother, her father took her and her sister out of Edo state and brought them to Anambra.

She alleged that she was first forced to live with a 70-plus-year-old man at the age of 14 but after some time, she ran back to her father’s house before he finally gave her out to a 34-year-old Chinedu Nweke as husband.

Chioma who was in the company of her sister, explained that life with Chinedu has been a living hell because he allegedly beats her and sometimes pees in her mouth.

She said this act made her run away with their 9-month-old baby. Her father, Uzochukwu Okoli, on the other hand, claimed her daughter is 18 years old and, at some point, said she is 20 years old.

After he was handcuffed, Mr Okoli threatened to deal with the daughters if he made it out of prison. He also urged Chioma and her sister to pray he dies in prison because he would make life more miserable for them.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Hon Ify Obinabo, has instructed that the case be charged to court so that the girl can get justice.

Both Mr Okoli and Chinedu Nweke were arrested and will be arraigned in court.
