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.
A Federal High Court sitting in Warri, Delta State has fixed January 31, 2024, to hear the application to vary the bail conditions and Notice of Preliminary objection filed by the human rights activist, Comrade Ighorhiohwunu Aghogho. Aghogho, who is the Delta State Chapter Coordinator of Take-It-Back Movement, a pro-democracy organisation, has been illegally detained in prison over an alleged cyberstalking charge. He took a fresh plea when the case came up on Monday before Justice M.I. Sani of the Federal High Court, Warri.
The national leadership of a pro-democracy and human rights group, Take It Back Movement (TIB), has announced a plan for a mass protest at the Delta State Ministry of Justice and National Judicial Commission (NJC) Headquarters, Abuja, over the continued detention of its Delta State Chapter Coordinator, Ighorhiohwunu Aghogho.
The activist had been at loggerheads with the police in the state after he protested the lack of police vehicles for an investigation involving a child trafficking case.
SaharaReporters learnt on Wednesday that Aghogho was remanded at the Ogwashuku Federal Prison over trumped-up allegations of “defamatory, cybercrime, false information.”
