IGP charges Abuja woman for allegedly blackmailing ex-Imo Gov, Ohakim
Mrs Igwegbe is to be tried on Monday, July 19, at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, on charges of making unsubstantiated allegations against the ex-governor and one Chinedu Okpareke to police.
The police however claimed that the allegations were unsubstantiated during their investigation and that they were aimed at blackmailing her victims. Although police authorities arrested the former governor and filed criminal charges against him, Igwegbe was later arrested when it was found that allegations in her petition were unsubstantiated claims.
In the charge signed by Matthew Omasun and Rotshang Faith Dimka, both of the Legal/ Prosecution Unit of the Force Headquarters in Abuja, Igwegbe was accused of supplying false information to the police with the intention to defame the former governor.
