J.A. Amahi Esq, a Delta State government lawyer, has been accused of purposefully preventing the release of Comrade Ighorhiohwunu Aghogho, a human rights activist and Delta State Chapter Coordinator of the human rights organisation, Take It Back Movement. Aghogho, who has been detained since June 2022, accused the prosecuting lawyer of deliberately frustrating the case to delay his release from prison. The activist had been at loggerheads with the police in the state after he protested against the lack of police vehicles for an investigation involving child trafficking.
