The General Overseer of Jesus House of Joy Church, Awka, Pastor Mr Francis Ogwu were yesterday Thursday 27th, June, arrested by Men of Anambra State Police Command for defiling his 7 year old house help.

The Anambra State Police Command has arrested a 65-year-old pastor, Mr. Francis Ogwu for allegedly d£filing his seven-year-old domestic help in Awka, the state capital.

The suspect, a native of Imo State, is the General Overseer of Jesus House of Joy Church, Awka. He has lived with his wife and children in the state for over 30 years.

He was arrested on Thursday, June 27, following an alarm raised by concerned neighbours.

Ọgwụ, during interrogations, confessed to the Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Ify Obinabo, that he “just f+ngered the girl once” but denied other allegations of penetration as against what the seven-year-old victim said.

On why he defiled the child, the suspect explained, “I was tempted because my wife usually gives excuses that she’s fasting whenever I want to have quality time with her.”

Narrating her ordeal, the seven year old victim told Obinabo that the suspect had carnal knowledge of her three times.

“He usually gives me money ranging from N500 to N1000 after each experience. Sometimes, his wife accuse me of sn@tching her husband from her.

What prompted my leaving the house was repeated b£@ting I received from the daughter over irrelevant issue,” she said.

The victim’s mother, a native of Awka, stated that she handed the daughter over to the Ogwu family because of the relationship they have had over time, but was shocked when her daughter returned to her and told her of the development.

She revealed that she quickly called the suspect, who, upon arrival, denied the allegations, which prompted her to involve other persons by raising the alarm.

Court Reportedly Orders Nigerian Police To Arraign Detained Activist, Olamide Thomas, Within 48 Hours Or Release Her Unconditionally

Thomas, who has been at the forefront of advocacy for civil liberties in Nigeria, filed the lawsuit after she claimed her rights were violated following how she was ‘abducted’ by the police in Lagos and subsequently taken to Abuja.

 

The ongoing fundamental rights case filed by Olamide Thomas, a female human rights activist, against the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has been adjourned to January 6, 2025.

The case, which was being heard at the Federal High Court in Abuja, before Justice Abdullahi Liman.

Thomas, who has been at the forefront of advocacy for civil liberties in Nigeria, filed the lawsuit after she claimed her rights were violated following how she was ‘abducted’ by the police in Lagos and subsequently taken to Abuja.

 

The legal action, filed under Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1892/V/2024, raises concerns over the unlawful arrest of Thomas’ uncle as a bait to apprehend her.

 

Represented by her counsel, S.M. Oyeghe, the applicant argued that the police’s actions are in direct violation of the Police Act and are an abuse of power.

According to the suit, Thomas’ uncle was detained unlawfully in a bid to coerce her surrender, a tactic the defence claims is improper and a breach of her fundamental rights.

Oyeghe told SaharaReporters on Monday that they had earlier filed a fundamental rights suit against the IGP, Nigeria Police Force, and the Head of Cybercrime over the unlawful arrest and detention of Olamide Thomas.

 

“We equally filed and exparte application for her bail or production,” he added.

 

The ruling delivered on the motion ex parte for bail is as follows: “The arrest of the applicant’s uncle in place of the applicant as a bait to capture her was improper, unlawful, and a violation of the Police Act.

 

“The FREP Rules and the Police Act provide for interim orders.

“The detention time limit is 24 or 48 hours. Any detention beyond the specified time would constitute a violation of the Constitution.

“The respondent is ordered to arraign the applicant within 48 hours or release her unconditionally.”

However, the fundamental rights suit before Justice Liman is scheduled for January 6, 2025.

 

Meanwhile, the criminal case is scheduled for hearing on December 30.

The Nigerian police on Friday arraigned Olamide Thomas on three criminal charges at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

 

The charges centre on allegations that Olamide Thomas insulted the President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi and top police officials, including Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun and Police Public Relations Officer Muyiwa Adejobi, in a viral social media post.

 

The case, with suit number F/HE/ARS/CR/636/2024, lists the Inspector General of Police as the complainant.

 

Presiding over the matter, Justice Emeka Nwite ordered Olamide to be remanded in prison following her arraignment on Friday.

 

The activist was arrested over a week ago and has since been in police custody.

One of the counts reads, “That you OLAMIDE ABIODUN THOMAS ‘F’, sometime in 2024, in the Federal Republic of Nigeria within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did knowingly and intentionally transmit or cause the transmission of communication in the form of video recording through computer system or network on your Social media platforms wherein you made remarks in Yoruba language stating that Mr. Seyi Tinubu will die this year, and misfortune and calamity has befallen the Tinubu family, with intent to bully, threaten, harass the person of Mr. Seyi Tinubu, where such communication places the said Mr. Seyi Tinubu in fear of death, violence or bodily harm and you thereby commit an offence contrary to and punishable under section 24 (2) (a) Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) (Amendment) Act, 2024.”

 

Count 2 reads, “That you OLAMIDE ABIODUN THOMAS ‘F’, sometime in 2024, in the Federal Republic of Nigeria within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did knowingly and intentionally transmit or cause the transmission of communication in the form of video recording through computer system or network on your Social media platforms wherein you made remarks in Yoruba Language to bully, threaten, harass the person of Mr. Kayode Egbetokun where such communication places the said Mr Kayode Egbetokun in fear of death, violence or bodily harm and you therefore commit an offence contrary to and punishable under section 24(2) (a) Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention Etc.) (Amendment) Act, 2024.”

 

The third count accused her of also insulting Adejobi.

SaharaReporters gathered that Justice Nwite after the charges were read denied her bail, insisting that her lawyers should bring formal bail application before court.

 

“Justice Nwite rejected our oral application for her bail. She is sent to Suleja prison and said that our lawyers should apply for bail and come back,” an activist told SaharaReporters shortly after the court proceeding.

 

Meanwhile, Take It Back (TIB) Movement has condemned the continued detention of Thomas, demanding her immediate release.

Tinubu mustered the temerity to call the President of Nigeria a drunkard, a sinking fisherman. This was how Tinubu put it: “I think the President is wrong because that is an insult to our parents. It is a speech from a drunk sailor fisherman whose boat is about to capsize.

As Nigerian authorities begin a controversial clampdown on citizens criticizing government officials on social media, an old episode from the country’s political history has resurfaced, bringing to light the sharp rhetoric of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during his time as Lagos State Governor.   Tinubu mustered the temerity to call the President of Nigeria a drunkard, a sinking fisherman. This was how Tinubu put it: “I think the President is wrong because that is an insult to our parents. It is a speech from a drunk sailor fisherman whose boat is about to capsize.

Another Man Arrested for Insulting Tinubu, Sanwo-Olu, As Police Begin Crack Down on Nigerians Insulting Politicians on Social Media   In a flashback to 2011, Tinubu, then the national leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), launched a verbal assault on then-President Goodluck Jonathan, describing him as a “drunk sailor fisherman” whose “boat is about to capsize.” Tinubu’s comments came in reaction to a statement made by Jonathan at a campaign rally in Ibadan, where the President had referred to the need to rescue the Southwest from the hands of “rascals.”   Tinubu, speaking at Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos on his way to Abuja for an ACN campaign event, called Jonathan’s remarks an insult to Yoruba parents. “You don’t come to this land, seek our votes, and then insult our parents, saying they raised rascals,” Tinubu said. “It is a speech from a drunk sailor fisherman whose boat is about to capsize.”
