RIVERS COMMUNITY RAISE ALARM, ACCUSE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE EMEKA NWOYI OF COMPROMISE AND GIVING COVER TO WANTED KILLER GROUP

A human right activist and Leader of future Nigeria movement, Livingstone Wechie, Mr. Ohazurume Chukwu and six others who are members of a Community Vigilantee group code named OSPAC are calling on the inspector general of police to immediately call to order the unwholesome activities of the commissioner of police, Emeka Nwoyi who was recently deployed to rivers state.

It all started In 2017 when a group of killers led by one Daddy Chukwu a.k.a OBONI killed over 30 people in Mgbuoshimini Community Rumueme kingdom Rivers State including Chief Minikwu Chukwu, Godspower Aligbo, Omunakwe Benson in 2019. They were declared wanted by the Nigerian Police under the then CP Zaki Ahmed now retired DIG OPERATIONS.

They later returned to Mgbuoshimini Community Rumueme kingdom Rivers State. As an effort to rescue the Community, some stakeholders in the community setup a Local Vigilantee called OSPAC.

In April 2023, the community stakeholders petitioned the Rivers State Police Command under CP Effiong Okon seeking his intervention. He swiftly set up a team led by the C4i Strike Force (OCTOPUS) and they carried out an Operation and raided the camp of the Wanted group in the Community assisted by the Vigilantee. The camp was dislodged and the Community returned to normalcy.

The killers Group had recruited secret cult boys committing all manners of crimes including Bunkering, killing, gun running etc. their leader escaped but some members of his group were arrested. Since then they've been following up on him while the Vigilantee has been working with the police to restore peace in the Community.

Upon the deployment of the new Commissioner of Police Emeka Nwoyi to Rivers State, the wanted group through their sponsors initiated a fresh petition against Mgbuoshimini Community stakeholders alleging murder and rape etc. After the operation, a sister of the wanted person went on radio to accuse the Vigilantee boys of raping her during the operations under the supervision of the police and her brother was killed in her presence on the spot and buried by the Riverside in the camp.

The new CP Emeka Nwoyi invited some Community stakeholders for a meeting last Monday along with the petitioners. The Mgbuoshimini Community stakeholders appealed to him to sustain the gains from his predecessor CP Effiong Okon on my Community. He had arrested six of the Vigilantee boys and the community heads complained that these arrests will expose their Community to attacks by the Wanted boys but he refused to heed. He ordered the C4i Strike Force Commander Jovinus Iwu to withdraw the charges from court against the people arrested during the operations.

Obviously CP Emeka Nwoyi was thoroughly compromised against and his actions were unfair and unbecoming of a commissioner of police.

The CP Immediately ordered the arrest and detention of the Mgbuoshimini Community stakeholders by the CP X-SQUAD

The leader of the group led by Livingstone Wechie writes as follows:

“We had initiated a petition to the IGP to transfer the matter to Force Headquarters and he referred it to the IRT led by DC Aliyu.

Infact he sent his CP X-SQUAD Commander to stop reporting him to DIGs because some DIGs called the CP on our behalf but it does appear that the CP Emeka Nwoyi is bent on justifying his inducement.
It took the intervention of the AIG FIB who called him on our behalf to caution him against his high-handedness and unfairness towards us.

On Friday 7th July 2023, the IRT team came to Port Harcourt to take over the case. When the signal got to the CP X-SQUAD Commander Mr. Chris Anyanwu, he invited me from the cell to his office to brief me. He said they have no evidence against me and my brothers on all the allegations that the burden of the matter is more on the Wanted boys and the petitioners. He said the allegations lack proof that since the CP is not responding to bail that Force Headquarters is coming to take over the matter.

We were taken into the custody of the IRT from Abuja They said they had a little mistake of not reflecting C4i Strike Force as one of the stations to take suspects from which is where suspects from the April operations are been held. They said they will have to take custody of those suspects first before releasing us who are the Complainants. They said they will be meeting with the CP Emeka Nwoyi to minute on their signal to allow them move those suspects.

Currently we are detained at the Central Police Station CPS in Port Harcourt by the IRT pending tomorrow when they resolve with the CP and take custody of the suspects at the C4i Strike Force Octopus led by Jovinus Iwu. They said they may most likely move everybody to Abuja.

It has been a very painful, embarrassing and frustrating experience.

I had expected that we should be granted bail then asked to report to Abuja on a date. The team leader says it is actually their mandate from their Commander to take over the matter and grant us bail then fix a date for interview in Abuja while they move the other suspects to Abuja. He said doing so requires their commander reaffirming that instruction because of this delay.

The Petitioners against us is one Larry Anele Nyeche who purports to lead a faction of Rumueme kingdom Council of Chiefs in Rivers state “


Note:
THE MATTER HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED TO THE IGP-INTELLIGENCE RESPONSE TEAM IGP-IRT IN ABUJA. PARTIES HAVE BEEN INVITED TO THE IRT FOR AN INTERVIEW WITH THE COMMANDER THIS MORNING. THE SIX OSPAC VIGILANTEE ARE STILL HELD AT IRT CUSTODY IN ALL CUMULATIVELY FOR FORTY DAYS NOW. WE DEMAND THEIR RELEASE AND ACTIONS TO BRING THE WANTED KILLER GROUP AND THEIR SPONSORS TO JUSTICE

MY ONLY OFFENCE IS THAT I ALONG WITH MY BROTHERS, WELI GADDAFI NYECHE, OHAZURUME CHUKWU APPROACHED THE POLICE TO HELP RESCUE OUR COMMUNITY FROM A KILLER GROUP LED BY ONE NOTORIOUS DADDY CHUKWU A.K.A OBONI A GROUP AFFILIATED TO THE NOTORIOUS DON-WANI YET THE CP RIVERS IS BENT ON DESTROYING ALL THE GAINS.....

As the Governorship and House of Assembly Elections are scheduled to hold nationwide, this Saturday March 18th, 2023 including in Rivers State.

During the first round of elections that featured the presidential contests, those of us here voted for our party presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmad Tinubu. Similarly, that we the legacy group in the All Progressives Congress Rivers State commends the governor of Rivers State, His Excellency Nyeson Ezenwo Wike for his stance on power returning to the southern rule which is in line with the aspirations of our founding fathers.

We acknowledge the support of the Governor, his supporters and the good people of Rivers State without whom the Party (APC) would have, once again, lost the presidential Elections in the State as was the case in the previous elections.

In view of the above, therefore, we the legacy group of the All Progressive Congress, Rivers State, hereby without any form of hesitation endorse and adopt the PDP Candidate as the preferred choice for Governorship of Rivers State.

The All Progressive Congress being a party of justice and fairness, the PDP is most appropriate wherein power should rotate to the Rivers south east Senatorial zone, the only zone yet to produce the Governor of our dear State.

Finally, we call on our members within the 23 LGA to support massively for the PDP Governorship Candidate as pay back thanks to His Excellency Nyeson Ezenwo Wike for his huge contributions and sacrifices for the huge success of our APC Presidential candidate.

Coalition of Observers2.jpeg


About 500 Accredited INEC Domestic Observers were deployed by The Coalition of Observers to all the 5 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Abia North Senatorial District for the February 25th General Election.

As Observers, it’s important to begin by saying that the Senatorial election that took place in Abia North on 25th February, 2023 was below the standard and acceptable electoral practice, contrary to INEC electoral Acts and guidelines, and against the wishes and expectations of the electorates/constituents.

According to the INEC Electoral Guidelines for the election, the Official opening of the polling units is by 8:30am. But this was not the case in all the polling units visited by our field observers in the Senatorial District as there were almost a general reports of late arrival of INEC Ad-hoc Staff and electoral materials.

There was late distribution of Electoral materials to the various RAC Centers across the 5 LGAs in Abia North especially in Arochukwu and Ohafia LGAs; where some candidates have to volunteer by releasing their vehicles to convey the INEC Materials to the various polling units.
In some instances there were no attached law enforcement agencies that will escort the INEC Materials to the various polling units. As a result a greater number of INEC Ad-hoc Staff could not proceed to their place of primary assignment on Election Day since the election time was almost up.

A special case is Bende LGA, where election materials moved from the LGA headquarters early but took some time to reach most polling units, while voters were waiting. Some polling units received their election materials between the hours of 2:30pm and 6:00pm as reported by our field observers at the LGA.

This also led to missing or misplacement of Result Sheets in some polling units, while the voters were already on the queue ready to exercise their franchise.

Despite the late arrival of INEC Materials, the people came out en-mass at the early hours of the day to exercise their franchise. Some later went home and never came back especially the elderly and sick ones. The youths remained till they were accredited and voted the candidate of their choice.

The BVAS was supposed to be used to authenticate or capture the faces of the Voters in all the polling units where the elections were held, but our observers noticed that the machines were either not functioning or were not used in most of the Polling Units.

We also observed that some INEC Officials which were originally posted to some areas were dropped and their names changed to entirely new persons as confessed by one of the Youth Corpers we interacted with.

The collation which supposed to be done at the ward level was done at the LGA while some of the Youth Corpers disappeared with their result sheets and reappeared at the wee hours of the night with mutilated results and some never came back especially in some units in Bende LGA.
On the election Saturday being 25th February 2023 INEC returning officer after noticing some irregularities and logistic challenges announced to the observers, party agents and others in Ohafia, after speaking with the Resident Electoral Officer in Umuahia, that there will be a rerun election on Sunday 26th February, 2023 in some places in Abia North where elections didn’t hold as a result of logistics.

We want to put it on record that there was no rerun election in those affected places. Later around 2pm on that 26th of February, one of the officials of INEC informed us that the elections in places where elections never held will be done on the 27th starting by 8:30am. All the voters that turned up in their numbers were disappointed and while some were still hanging around their various polling units, information came to us that the EO and the collation Officers were about to announce the results.

As observers, we rushed to the venue and tried to remind them of the number of voters they will disfranchise if they should go on to call the result of unfinished election and the consequences, but it all went on a deaf ears.

After every effort to appeal to them to do the needful both by the Party Agents and Security Personnel, the two collation Officers went ahead and called the result of what should have been regarded as an inconclusive election.

It took the presence of the heavy joint security officers on ground to calm the situation before the INEC officers were squeezed out of the premises of the Presbyterian Church school in Ohafia.

We want to put on record that election didn’t hold in over 100 polling units across the under-listed LGAs in Abia North Senatorial districts with over 80,000 registered voters.

Again, the new electoral law makes its mandatory that counting and announcement of result should be made open by the presiding officer at the polling units, but this was ignored in most polling units visited at the Bende, Ohafia, Arochukwu and Isuikwu LGAs. The Law also mandates that the results be posted in the polling units; this was also not the case in most of the Polling Units.

This action negates the transparency of the voting process across board in most of the polling units in Abia North Senatorial District.
Also, the 2022 electoral Act provides that there should be online transmission of result sheets at the conclusion of voting through the INEC Result viewing (IRev) portal. The report we received from both CPALD Station and Roving Observers as well from other observer groups is that there is no transmission of result sheet at most of the polling units across the Abia North Senatorial District.

RECOMMENDATIONS
• INEC should as a matter of urgency help to calm the growing agitation in these areas where elections never held and fix a date to conduct a rerun election or cancel the elections as a result of irregularities which took place during the collation of the results which is not in line with the electoral new ACT.

• INEC should critically look into the distribution of both sensitive and non-sensitive materials ahead of the Governorship and State Assembly election. As this was a major setback in the 25th February presidential election.

3. There should be adequately attached police officer that will escort both the election materials and INEC Ad-Hoc Staff as this was one of the reasons while there was no election in some of the polling units in Ohafia, Arochukwu, etc.

4 There should be adequate arrangement between the commission and the major transport operators on how to convey the election materials to the polling units.

5. There should be proper orientation to the INEC Ad-Hoc Staff not to compromise or being influenced by any political party to do their biddings.

6. There should be proper re-training of the INEC Presiding Officers who are going to handle the BVAS. So as to have a hitch-free March 18th rescheduled Governorship and States Assembly elections.

7. INEC should properly communicate to both the State and Non State Actors where there is any issue that will warrant delay in the election processes.

“Your Negligence Made Labour Party Loose The Election”

The former Presidential Aspirant for Labour Party, Oluwadare Joseph Faduri has written to the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi to stop crying foul for losing the election to his opponent out of his negligence.
Faduri made this statement known in an open letter posted on his social media handle on Friday night, which was made available to us, claiming that the politician should stop blaming anyone for his failure.
According to the letter, “It is laughable after losing the 2023 Presidential election and coming third that Peter Obi is crying foul of the election he handled with alacrity.

“2 weeks before the Election, i stated it clearly in an official press statement i Issued out, where I said if Labour Party loses the Presidential election that Peter Obi should be blamed. In that release, I enumerated all the lapses of the non-inclusive leadership style of him, i went further to mention the starving of mobilization and Presidential campaign committees all over the country with funds to mobilize for the election, and not to mention that the Labour Party had no polling agents in many of the polling units across the country.
“Mr. Peter Obi got it wrong in so many ways, he couldn’t even seek the help of the already tired Nigerian Youths to volunteer to be the Party agents and trained them. For such, I knew millions of Youths would have come out to help the party serve as an agent without collecting a dime. All he needed to do was to provide transport fare where needed but he ignored that aspect.
“Not engaging Nigerians but allowing them to be in disarray, thinking that the election would be free and fair. Believing that angels would guard the polls. This is so funny and I laughed.

“Election is never perfect anywhere in the world, not even in a Nation like the America where they have been practicing democracy for over 250years.
“Labour Party had the chance of winning but Obi messed it up. I personally disagree that we were rigged out. Obi made us vulnerable to be rigged out, and it is so disappointing after so many hopeless Nigerians laboured so hard for a new government, and the party returned them to their old ways. We returned what we said we don’t want and to think that the court will revert the case in our favour is an elephant project.
“Though, there are irregularities but those irregularities are not enough to tilt the election in our favour. If we had put agents in all the polling units and begged Nigerian Youths to volunteer, we would be talking from a position of facts, a position of strength, and not emotions.
“I am glad that I started this movement and even when Mr. Obi came to hijack the movement last minute and played politics in Asaba with money during our Presidential primary, i thought he knew better than I do, that the election of such also he would need to guard the house and the votes but because we wanted to guard our resources for the election, we lost the election due to our undermining. Southwest, Northwest and Northeast arm of the Party pulled out last minute, all due to leadership style which is not inclusive. Many members of Labour Party knew I am saying the truth and I dare anyone of them to challenge me if what I am saying is not real.
“Nigerian Youths showed that we are not tribalistic. Yoruba, Igbo Hausa, Fulani and all other ethic groups came out to vote for Peter. I hope in the nearest future, we will continue this culture of Nigerians supporting any candidate from any tribe massively without favour or prejudice.
“We all want Nigeria that works for everyone not just a few and that’s why the Youths are awake to their responsibility. If Mr Peter Obi had listened and not been short sighted to heed my cries and calling of his attention to the basics of politics, we would be talking about handing over to him today and not figuring out how to reclaim a mandate already lost due to our own leadership failures.

“And to INEC Chairman. Professor Mahmood Yakubu, In as much as I knew the magnitudes of the works on your table, it is also important to lash on you sir that you over promised Nigerians and under delivered.
“Nigerians followed you through in all your deliveries and expected a hitch free election but you failed to let them know that no perfect election anywhere in the world, but you will do your best to oversee one. You gave us an impression of a perfect February 25th and here we are with the old story. I hope that you will check your lapses and work on better election for the gubernatorial election ahead of you and other upcoming elections in the future.
“Finally, regardless of who is elected in, I want a Nigeria that works for everyone and a country that we can call home. So, i am using this medium to appeal to Nigerians especially the Youths that we must sustain the political culture we just started, and continue the movement peacefully, intellectually, calculatingly, and persistently.
“Continue the positive and full participation. I see a new Nation ahead. We must get involved not just for Presidency but in all political positions in our country. We should no longer sit aside but decide who is our Governor, Local Govt Chairman and others. Let politicians know that the game is over, now we decide who to vote for, someone that will better our lives and our country, it is no longer business as usual, it’s no longer not too young to run, it is our time to run and decides who runs and who wins”, he said.

REFUTAL OF A DEFAMATORY PUBLICATION ALLEGEDLY SPONSORED BY A CERTAIN BARR. CHURCHILL OKEDU WECHIE AGAINST AN INNOCENT WIDOW MRS. REGINA NYEKPUNWO WECHIE AND HER CHILDREN: CHITURU, NYEBUCHI, LIVINGSTONE AND ORONNE_ 
 
 *RE: A WITCH WOMAN CONFESSES IN PORT HARCOURT" and "TRUE LIFE CONFESSION OF A WITCH WOMAN
 
THIS REFUTAL IS WITHOUT PREJUDICE AND NOT A COUNTER-BLACKMAIL
 
1. The attention of my family has been drawn to a malicious and defamatory publication believed to be sponsored by one Barr. Churchill Okedu Wechie of Rumuihunwo-Orogbu Community in Nkpolu-Oroworukwo Town Rebisi Port Harcourt. The said publication titled "A WITCH WOMAN CONFESSES IN PORT HARCOURT" and "TRUE LIFE CONFESSION OF A WITCH WOMAN" on Facebook and blogs respectively has been trending on social media platforms across the world putting my family in serious reputation damage and public ridicule. As a caveat, I chose to do this refutal at this time after the false publication so I could conclude with the relevant agencies and their investigations as well as my personal findings. The concocted and fabricated story which is published on several online platforms, blogs including Nairaland, gidileak.com, eternityrace.com etc and some YouTube automated audio files dubiously alleges and claims that my precious mother, Mrs. Regina Nyekpunwo Wechie (Née Amadi) Confessed among other things to killing our late father Late Prince Emma Nyekazi Wechie who died in 2011.
 
2. For the records, the self-confessed author and undeniable sponsor of this blackmail, Barr. Churchill Wechie sadly is my step brother. After our father died in 2011, he (Churchill Wechie) turned against my mother's kitchen (household). He started by accusing us from the blues that myself and my immediate elder brother Rev Prince Nyebuchi Wechie refused to join in carrying our late father's body insinuating that we were avoiding the body. This was quite insane because our father died in my arms and I was alone with him in the hospital when he took his last breath at St Patrick’s Hospital in Port Harcourt. There were occasions where I had heated confrontations with Churchill because of the extra medical services he administered on our father for whatever reasons without the Doctor's knowledge and I protested to the Doctor but it was too late into our father's critical condition. Our father’s third wife also had similar encounters with Churchill on same issue, that is if she will be honest enough to admit again at this time. His hostility towards us was very suspicious and unwarranted because he was not even there when our father died and I had to be the one to call and informed him on that fateful day on November 15, 2011. Throughout our father's admission at the hospitals, Churchill Wechie never passed a night or ever bathed him. I had to do that or my immediate elder brother with whom I ran a shift for the entire 28 days of his admission at the hospital. Few days after our bereavement, Churchill further made good his aggression and violence by personally demolishing my mother's house and fence in the Community boasting that as a Lawyer, he will fight us to a standstill and nothing will happen. These are undisputed facts and public knowledge because they were subjects of litigation.
This story was widely reported by the news houses including Africa Independent Television and Rivers State Television at the time and he always avoided the media who investigated the matter as it affects the widow. This matter lingered up to the funeral service held at the St. Thomas Anglican Church in Port Harcourt and beyond. 
 
3. There was heated crisis in the family instigated by Churchill Wechie and he was ready to kill or go after anyone who tried to call him to order or intervene. These resulted in my petitioning the Inspector General of Police against Churchill Wechie whom I officially in that petition accused of the Murder of our father and malicious damage etc at the time. He was arrested and investigated for the allegations by the Nigerian Police Force. He was injecting our father with suspected insulin or substance best known to him while our father was on admission not being a medical practitioner nor the doctor in-charge of our father's treatment. Our father had diabetic foot ulcer which was one of his primary health conditions. I was convinced that Churchill had overdosed him with mixtures that he can best explain even though he compromised the police from conducting an autopsy including other aspects of the investigation. My father was first admitted at Chijiman Hospital in Diobu Port Harcourt before he was referred to St. Patrick's Hospital along Eastern bypass all in Port Harcourt in 2011. Without any prejudice to the Police, these were facts contained in my petitions at the time. As a matter of fact, Churchill Wechie as a legal practitioner in one of his suits against us and the Nigerian Police Force before the Federal High Court admitted that he bribed the Police with one hundred thousand Naira as cited in the process as widely reported at the time. 
 
4. The issues escalated as Barr. Churchill Wechie ignored all interventions by our community, family and senior friends who sued for peace. Churchill Wechie filed multiple suits in Court against my mother myself and my siblings and boasted that he will suffocate my mother's household until we vacate the family. Among some of the suits were the one challenging my mother's statutory marriage with our late father which he (Barr. Churchill Wechie) was present and signed as witness for our late father few years before he died. The other was the one he filed at the Customary Court challenging the Customary marriage between our father and mother. He raised issues concerning our paternity and challenged our legitimacy in those suits. A substantial amount of the content of the defamatory publication are things Churchill Wechie has always used and said against us including during the arbitration on record. It was indeed a trying period for my family but we had to courageously confront the monster and prevailed over him to his knees. I must clearly state that my mother has never been a materialistic person never drawn by or enticed by glamour or wealth as Churchill mischievously made her look in his award-winning fabrication. She was a trained professional Teacher for thirty-five years and retired meritoriously. She implanted that virtue of contentment in all her children and it was possibly the envy of our upbringing and strides that is running Barr. Churchill Okedu Wechie into the realm of irredeemable insanity and lifetime craft of evil and this is not surprising.
 
5. May I state for the records that we (my mother and all her children) grew in our maternal home in Mgbuoshimini Oro-Akwor Community in Rumueme kingdom, Rivers state and bore our maternal surname "Amadi" for most part of our lives and proudly so. We were fully integrated, accommodated and given every right, privileges and entitlements as legitimate and bonafide members of the Community until few years before our father's death. Our father had come to my mother escorted by this same Churchill Wechie and some elders to beg for our return to his family in Rumuihunwo-Orogbu Community Nkpolu-Oroworukwo Town. My maternal home Mgbuoshimini Oro-Akwor Community Rumueme kingdom resisted his advances and Churchill Wechie joined on bended knees to strongly appeal because our father felt the need to reconcile his divided family which was fast depleting from his end. One of the conditions my mother and her Elder sister Dame Julie Owhonda gave was that apart from the full traditional rights done at the time of their Customary marriage in the 70s, that to better guarantee the protection of my mother and her children that my father Late Prince Emma Nyekazi Wechie must have a registry marriage with my mother and that Churchill Wechie must sign as his witness to show their sincerity as if they foresaw the future. All of those conditions were accepted, implemented and fully complied with. Churchill Wechie signed as our father’s witness and Obio-Akpor marriage registry in Rivers State where the marriage took place is there for anyone to confirm. This was because Churchill's late mother Mrs. Fyner Baby Wechie who died sometimes in 1996 or thereabout, during her lifetime, always threatened our mother's marriage with our father violently with physical attacks and same hostility was extended to us and this is common knowledge within the community and beyond. 
 
6. Incidentally when Churchill Wechie started his onslaught against my mother and all of us her children after our father's death, he took various life-threatening steps to undermine us. In response, I was compelled to preempt him by going ahead to defend my mother's house and bring him to justice through lawful means. At this point, Churchill had become a loose cannon and nobody could caution or call him to order as he had also sued our Paramount ruler and others who sought to intervene. One of the steps I took with the consent of my siblings including Rev. Prince Nyebuchi Wechie was a petition to the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC) of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) under the Presidency of Okey Wali SAN at the time. A panel was constituted and Parties were invited. It was at this point that the "almighty" Churchill Wechie seeing that his practicing license was at stake, ran frantically and desperately ran to an Elite group "Club 12" of Nkpolu-Oroworukwo Town of which our late father was a member in his lifetime for an alternative resolution of the dispute. On our own part, we reluctantly consented to their intervention even though we were never interested in what Churchill wanted to die for, which was “properties” of a dead mad or to put it, another man’s sweat. This was because he had defied all appeals from senior citizens of the Community, our Paramount ruler Eze Emeka Anyabelem, Elders, Judges, senior lawyers in the open Court who whenever our multiple suits were mentioned will rise in various Courts as amicus to urge him to settle with his family. Sometimes Judges who presided over the various cases he filed against us will advise him openly to settle with his brothers but he will always rise in his miserable pride and opposition to declare "Over my dead body, I don't know them".
 
 
ON THE PUBLICATION AND CHURCHILL’S ADMISSION/CULPABILITY
7. In the course of the Club 12 hearing after they got the permission of the Court, we came across the malicious publication online for the first time in that 2012 where our mother was maliciously blackmailed and all of us thoroughly defamed. In that false publication, it was criminally and fraudulently alleged that my beloved mother who had just been widowed confessed that she was a Witch, that she killed our father, killed his other children from the first wife and that to sustain her "Witchcraft Voodoo powers alive, that she had incestuous affairs with myself among many other horrifying and lethal allegations. These included the spurious and demonic claim that my mother was sexually irresponsible to the extent that she “got pregnant for all of us with a certain Monday Chinda” whom he (Churchill Wechie) fabricated. Interestingly, Churchill advanced most of the content of the said publication in his argument during the arbitration craftily where he wickedly alleged that this so-called Monday Chinda is our biological father just to question our legitimacy and identity.
On record, during the arbitration, I openly brought to the attention of Club 12 Panel the said publication and I directly accused Churchill Wechie who was present, of authoring and sponsoring the damaging fraudulent story which he never denied on record and this is not in dispute. When asked to respond, Churchill Wechie boastfully admitted before the panel that he deliberately authored and sponsored the publication online because according to him, he did that in retaliation to my petition the Inspector General of Police accusing him (Churchill) of the murdering our father. The Club 12 panel chaired by Alhaji Abubakar Orlu immediately reprimanded him and unanimously directed Churchill Wechie to quickly delete the publication from the Internet in the interest of peace. They further told him that he had gone too far overboard. We have witnesses who were present and are ready to confirm this record because it was terribly untoward and awful to say the least. As a matter of fact, Churchill Wechie when confronted with this publication during one of our sessions at Rumu-Ihunwo Orogbu investigative hearings over his numerous questionable actions, openly admitted responsibility and stood his grounds. Our community leadership is there to confirm this and it is not in dispute. Barr. Churchill Wechie has never denied being responsible for the publication. However, we expected that he did comply with the directive of Club 12 and our community leadership respectively to delete, knowing the grave legal consequences as an acclaimed lawyer; not knowing that he mischievously left some online just as he contemptuously defied brazenly most of our terms of settlement as contained in the judgement order on record, only to sponsor this blackmail to trend again online against us at this time.
 
 
8. A strange and abominable incident took place on the day of our father's funeral. Immediately our late father was laid in state at the family house and the immediate family was called in by the Elders as the tradition demands, we were asked to make an oration in line with tradition to pay our last respect. I and my elder brother Rev. Prince Nyebuchi Wechie prayed for the repose of his soul and everyone said Amen. When it was Churchill Wechie's turn, he placed his hands directly on our father's body, started making some strange incantation and invocations against me and my mother's kitchen and told the spirit of our late father to hunt us that we were strangers according to him, brought to destroy the family. The Elders and our Rumu-ihunwo-Orogbu community present, found his act offensive, sacrilegious and a taboo resulting in the imposition of a fine on him for that singular devilish act. The Community constituted and summoned Churchill Wechie later at the time over the desecration of the land following that act. After the hearing, he Barr. Churchill Okedu Wechie was fined One Cow, forty tubers of yam, One Jar of Palm wine, Palm Oil and other things involved. He was also told that he must commit to the traditional cleansing of the land for desecration it by placing his hands on the body of our late father to make such invocations. Churchill Wechie did not comply with these resolutions reached by the Community led by Eze Emeka Anyabelem the Paramount head of Rumuihunwo-Orogbu Community till today. Churchill Wechie instead filed an action in Court against the Paramount head of Rumuihunwo-Orogbu Community whose subject Churchill Wechie is. He sued the Police whom we had reported to, sued late Eze Charles Olawoka of Oromerezimgbu Community in Port Harcourt, myself, my elder brother among others. Our community made a proclamation that if Churchill Okedu Wechie failed to pay the fine and carry out the traditional ritual of cleansing that he remains ostracized and shall not participate in the Community/family activities or benefit whatsoever in line with our traditional as applicable in Ikwerre land. Also during the burial ceremony, this same Churchill ordered and sponsored some miscreants led by a certain Irobulachi otherwise nicknamed Kento to attack and seized the Video Camera we rented and physically assaulted the camera man hired to cover the funeral for us. 
 
9. We moved on with the rest of the arbitration and concluded. Terms of settlement were reported to the Courts, Police and Nigerian Bar Association etc. Everything touching on property which was Churchill Wechie's undying life ambition and core interest unknown to us was resolved as he was at his own dictates allocated over eighty percent of all our father's properties and we did not bother about the properties of the late man if that will make poor Barr. Churchill Wechie to become rich. It was so pathetic for Churchill Wechie the fact that he insisted that the property on Cherubim road Nkpolu Oroworukwo that our father in his lifetime to the knowledge of Churchill allocated to my mother as her own that Churchill demanded that the property must be divided into two to his own benefit and we allowed it for peace to reign so he can be happy. This was just to help railroad the poor Barr. Churchill Okedu Wechie to actualize his wildest dream to feel like the Napoleon that he always wanted to be over the properties of our late father in the village. Yet Churchill is still diabolically restless because to him our mother must not live. MIRACULOUSLY, HE HAS CONTINUED TO FAIL!
 
WHY WE LIVED AND BORE OUR MATERNAL SURNAME
10. May I clearly put on record for purposes of emphasis, that we were quietly living our lives with our mother in Rumueme and bore our maternal surname proudly without any hard feelings when this so-called Barr. Churchill Okedu Wechie came with our father to beg my mother on bended knees to bring us back to his family. An incident sometimes about 1982 on record was when Churchill's mother Late Mrs. Baby Fyner Wechie transported herself down to my maternal Community, Mgbuoshimini Oro-Akwor in Rumueme kingdom, came straight to my mother's house and destroyed the windscreen of our father's brand-new Peugeot vehicle which he had just bought during that period and almost set it on fire but for the timely intervention of neighbours. We barely visited our father's house because Churchill's mother was always threatening to either poison us or bath us with acid, and so as kids, we avoided her like we avoided Satan. This was the same attitude her late daughter Cynthia took up against us but our mother never reacted to their hostilities because that was beneath her dignity. Our Community Rumuihunwo-Orogbu and indeed Nkpolu-Oroworukwo can attest to these facts because many of them were branded her enemies for cautioning her including some of her blood relatives. This was the main reason my mother and her family at the time decided that it was unsafe for my mother to cohabit with our late father in his family house in Nkpolu-Oroworukwo for her own safety and that of her children. My mother had no hands whatsoever in what killed his mother and siblings as Churchill wickedly painted in his sponsored shameless false publication. Is it not curious that a woman and her children that you have so brazenly accused of many unsubstantiated things that you joined and begged for her return along with her already established children? He alone (Churchill Wechie) knows what killed his mother and siblings and he should tell the world. He should also open up to the world why his immediate younger brother Brignt Anya Wechie ran from him to London for more than twenty years and has scarcely returned since that period for the fear of his life in the hands of Churchill Wechie......

REFUTAL OF A DEFAMATORY PUBLICATION ALLEGEDLY SPONSORED BY A CERTAIN BARR. CHURCHILL OKEDU WECHIE AGAINST AN INNOCENT WIDOW MRS. REGINA NYEKPUNWO WECHIE AND HER CHILDREN: CHITURU, NYEBUCHI, LIVINGSTONE AND ORONNE_ 
 
 *RE: A WITCH WOMAN CONFESSES IN PORT HARCOURT" and "TRUE LIFE CONFESSION OF A WITCH WOMAN
 
THIS REFUTAL IS WITHOUT PREJUDICE AND NOT A COUNTER-BLACKMAIL
 
1. The attention of my family has been drawn to a malicious and defamatory publication believed to be sponsored by one Barr. Churchill Okedu Wechie of Rumuihunwo-Orogbu Community in Nkpolu-Oroworukwo Town Rebisi Port Harcourt. The said publication titled "A WITCH WOMAN CONFESSES IN PORT HARCOURT" and "TRUE LIFE CONFESSION OF A WITCH WOMAN" on Facebook and blogs respectively has been trending on social media platforms across the world putting my family in serious reputation damage and public ridicule. As a caveat, I chose to do this refutal at this time after the false publication so I could conclude with the relevant agencies and their investigations as well as my personal findings. The concocted and fabricated story which is published on several online platforms, blogs including Nairaland, gidileak.com, eternityrace.com etc and some YouTube automated audio files dubiously alleges and claims that my precious mother, Mrs. Regina Nyekpunwo Wechie (Née Amadi) Confessed among other things to killing our late father Late Prince Emma Nyekazi Wechie who died in 2011.
 
2. For the records, the self-confessed author and undeniable sponsor of this blackmail, Barr. Churchill Wechie sadly is my step brother. After our father died in 2011, he (Churchill Wechie) turned against my mother's kitchen (household). He started by accusing us from the blues that myself and my immediate elder brother Rev Prince Nyebuchi Wechie refused to join in carrying our late father's body insinuating that we were avoiding the body. This was quite insane because our father died in my arms and I was alone with him in the hospital when he took his last breath at St Patrick’s Hospital in Port Harcourt. There were occasions where I had heated confrontations with Churchill because of the extra medical services he administered on our father for whatever reasons without the Doctor's knowledge and I protested to the Doctor but it was too late into our father's critical condition. Our father’s third wife also had similar encounters with Churchill on same issue, that is if she will be honest enough to admit again at this time. His hostility towards us was very suspicious and unwarranted because he was not even there when our father died and I had to be the one to call and informed him on that fateful day on November 15, 2011. Throughout our father's admission at the hospitals, Churchill Wechie never passed a night or ever bathed him. I had to do that or my immediate elder brother with whom I ran a shift for the entire 28 days of his admission at the hospital. Few days after our bereavement, Churchill further made good his aggression and violence by personally demolishing my mother's house and fence in the Community boasting that as a Lawyer, he will fight us to a standstill and nothing will happen. These are undisputed facts and public knowledge because they were subjects of litigation.
This story was widely reported by the news houses including Africa Independent Television and Rivers State Television at the time and he always avoided the media who investigated the matter as it affects the widow. This matter lingered up to the funeral service held at the St. Thomas Anglican Church in Port Harcourt and beyond. 
 
3. There was heated crisis in the family instigated by Churchill Wechie and he was ready to kill or go after anyone who tried to call him to order or intervene. These resulted in my petitioning the Inspector General of Police against Churchill Wechie whom I officially in that petition accused of the Murder of our father and malicious damage etc at the time. He was arrested and investigated for the allegations by the Nigerian Police Force. He was injecting our father with suspected insulin or substance best known to him while our father was on admission not being a medical practitioner nor the doctor in-charge of our father's treatment. Our father had diabetic foot ulcer which was one of his primary health conditions. I was convinced that Churchill had overdosed him with mixtures that he can best explain even though he compromised the police from conducting an autopsy including other aspects of the investigation. My father was first admitted at Chijiman Hospital in Diobu Port Harcourt before he was referred to St. Patrick's Hospital along Eastern bypass all in Port Harcourt in 2011. Without any prejudice to the Police, these were facts contained in my petitions at the time. As a matter of fact, Churchill Wechie as a legal practitioner in one of his suits against us and the Nigerian Police Force before the Federal High Court admitted that he bribed the Police with one hundred thousand Naira as cited in the process as widely reported at the time. 
 
4. The issues escalated as Barr. Churchill Wechie ignored all interventions by our community, family and senior friends who sued for peace. Churchill Wechie filed multiple suits in Court against my mother myself and my siblings and boasted that he will suffocate my mother's household until we vacate the family. Among some of the suits were the one challenging my mother's statutory marriage with our late father which he (Barr. Churchill Wechie) was present and signed as witness for our late father few years before he died. The other was the one he filed at the Customary Court challenging the Customary marriage between our father and mother. He raised issues concerning our paternity and challenged our legitimacy in those suits. A substantial amount of the content of the defamatory publication are things Churchill Wechie has always used and said against us including during the arbitration on record. It was indeed a trying period for my family but we had to courageously confront the monster and prevailed over him to his knees. I must clearly state that my mother has never been a materialistic person never drawn by or enticed by glamour or wealth as Churchill mischievously made her look in his award-winning fabrication. She was a trained professional Teacher for thirty-five years and retired meritoriously. She implanted that virtue of contentment in all her children and it was possibly the envy of our upbringing and strides that is running Barr. Churchill Okedu Wechie into the realm of irredeemable insanity and lifetime craft of evil and this is not surprising.
 
5. May I state for the records that we (my mother and all her children) grew in our maternal home in Mgbuoshimini Oro-Akwor Community in Rumueme kingdom, Rivers state and bore our maternal surname "Amadi" for most part of our lives and proudly so. We were fully integrated, accommodated and given every right, privileges and entitlements as legitimate and bonafide members of the Community until few years before our father's death. Our father had come to my mother escorted by this same Churchill Wechie and some elders to beg for our return to his family in Rumuihunwo-Orogbu Community Nkpolu-Oroworukwo Town. My maternal home Mgbuoshimini Oro-Akwor Community Rumueme kingdom resisted his advances and Churchill Wechie joined on bended knees to strongly appeal because our father felt the need to reconcile his divided family which was fast depleting from his end. One of the conditions my mother and her Elder sister Dame Julie Owhonda gave was that apart from the full traditional rights done at the time of their Customary marriage in the 70s, that to better guarantee the protection of my mother and her children that my father Late Prince Emma Nyekazi Wechie must have a registry marriage with my mother and that Churchill Wechie must sign as his witness to show their sincerity as if they foresaw the future. All of those conditions were accepted, implemented and fully complied with. Churchill Wechie signed as our father’s witness and Obio-Akpor marriage registry in Rivers State where the marriage took place is there for anyone to confirm. This was because Churchill's late mother Mrs. Fyner Baby Wechie who died sometimes in 1996 or thereabout, during her lifetime, always threatened our mother's marriage with our father violently with physical attacks and same hostility was extended to us and this is common knowledge within the community and beyond. 
 
6. Incidentally when Churchill Wechie started his onslaught against my mother and all of us her children after our father's death, he took various life-threatening steps to undermine us. In response, I was compelled to preempt him by going ahead to defend my mother's house and bring him to justice through lawful means. At this point, Churchill had become a loose cannon and nobody could caution or call him to order as he had also sued our Paramount ruler and others who sought to intervene. One of the steps I took with the consent of my siblings including Rev. Prince Nyebuchi Wechie was a petition to the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC) of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) under the Presidency of Okey Wali SAN at the time. A panel was constituted and Parties were invited. It was at this point that the "almighty" Churchill Wechie seeing that his practicing license was at stake, ran frantically and desperately ran to an Elite group "Club 12" of Nkpolu-Oroworukwo Town of which our late father was a member in his lifetime for an alternative resolution of the dispute. On our own part, we reluctantly consented to their intervention even though we were never interested in what Churchill wanted to die for, which was “properties” of a dead mad or to put it, another man’s sweat. This was because he had defied all appeals from senior citizens of the Community, our Paramount ruler Eze Emeka Anyabelem, Elders, Judges, senior lawyers in the open Court who whenever our multiple suits were mentioned will rise in various Courts as amicus to urge him to settle with his family. Sometimes Judges who presided over the various cases he filed against us will advise him openly to settle with his brothers but he will always rise in his miserable pride and opposition to declare "Over my dead body, I don't know them".
 
 
ON THE PUBLICATION AND CHURCHILL’S ADMISSION/CULPABILITY
7. In the course of the Club 12 hearing after they got the permission of the Court, we came across the malicious publication online for the first time in that 2012 where our mother was maliciously blackmailed and all of us thoroughly defamed. In that false publication, it was criminally and fraudulently alleged that my beloved mother who had just been widowed confessed that she was a Witch, that she killed our father, killed his other children from the first wife and that to sustain her "Witchcraft Voodoo powers alive, that she had incestuous affairs with myself among many other horrifying and lethal allegations. These included the spurious and demonic claim that my mother was sexually irresponsible to the extent that she “got pregnant for all of us with a certain Monday Chinda” whom he (Churchill Wechie) fabricated. Interestingly, Churchill advanced most of the content of the said publication in his argument during the arbitration craftily where he wickedly alleged that this so-called Monday Chinda is our biological father just to question our legitimacy and identity.
On record, during the arbitration, I openly brought to the attention of Club 12 Panel the said publication and I directly accused Churchill Wechie who was present, of authoring and sponsoring the damaging fraudulent story which he never denied on record and this is not in dispute. When asked to respond, Churchill Wechie boastfully admitted before the panel that he deliberately authored and sponsored the publication online because according to him, he did that in retaliation to my petition the Inspector General of Police accusing him (Churchill) of the murdering our father. The Club 12 panel chaired by Alhaji Abubakar Orlu immediately reprimanded him and unanimously directed Churchill Wechie to quickly delete the publication from the Internet in the interest of peace. They further told him that he had gone too far overboard. We have witnesses who were present and are ready to confirm this record because it was terribly untoward and awful to say the least. As a matter of fact, Churchill Wechie when confronted with this publication during one of our sessions at Rumu-Ihunwo Orogbu investigative hearings over his numerous questionable actions, openly admitted responsibility and stood his grounds. Our community leadership is there to confirm this and it is not in dispute. Barr. Churchill Wechie has never denied being responsible for the publication. However, we expected that he did comply with the directive of Club 12 and our community leadership respectively to delete, knowing the grave legal consequences as an acclaimed lawyer; not knowing that he mischievously left some online just as he contemptuously defied brazenly most of our terms of settlement as contained in the judgement order on record, only to sponsor this blackmail to trend again online against us at this time.
 
 
8. A strange and abominable incident took place on the day of our father's funeral. Immediately our late father was laid in state at the family house and the immediate family was called in by the Elders as the tradition demands, we were asked to make an oration in line with tradition to pay our last respect. I and my elder brother Rev. Prince Nyebuchi Wechie prayed for the repose of his soul and everyone said Amen. When it was Churchill Wechie's turn, he placed his hands directly on our father's body, started making some strange incantation and invocations against me and my mother's kitchen and told the spirit of our late father to hunt us that we were strangers according to him, brought to destroy the family. The Elders and our Rumu-ihunwo-Orogbu community present, found his act offensive, sacrilegious and a taboo resulting in the imposition of a fine on him for that singular devilish act. The Community constituted and summoned Churchill Wechie later at the time over the desecration of the land following that act. After the hearing, he Barr. Churchill Okedu Wechie was fined One Cow, forty tubers of yam, One Jar of Palm wine, Palm Oil and other things involved. He was also told that he must commit to the traditional cleansing of the land for desecration it by placing his hands on the body of our late father to make such invocations. Churchill Wechie did not comply with these resolutions reached by the Community led by Eze Emeka Anyabelem the Paramount head of Rumuihunwo-Orogbu Community till today. Churchill Wechie instead filed an action in Court against the Paramount head of Rumuihunwo-Orogbu Community whose subject Churchill Wechie is. He sued the Police whom we had reported to, sued late Eze Charles Olawoka of Oromerezimgbu Community in Port Harcourt, myself, my elder brother among others. Our community made a proclamation that if Churchill Okedu Wechie failed to pay the fine and carry out the traditional ritual of cleansing that he remains ostracized and shall not participate in the Community/family activities or benefit whatsoever in line with our traditional as applicable in Ikwerre land. Also during the burial ceremony, this same Churchill ordered and sponsored some miscreants led by a certain Irobulachi otherwise nicknamed Kento to attack and seized the Video Camera we rented and physically assaulted the camera man hired to cover the funeral for us. 
 
9. We moved on with the rest of the arbitration and concluded. Terms of settlement were reported to the Courts, Police and Nigerian Bar Association etc. Everything touching on property which was Churchill Wechie's undying life ambition and core interest unknown to us was resolved as he was at his own dictates allocated over eighty percent of all our father's properties and we did not bother about the properties of the late man if that will make poor Barr. Churchill Wechie to become rich. It was so pathetic for Churchill Wechie the fact that he insisted that the property on Cherubim road Nkpolu Oroworukwo that our father in his lifetime to the knowledge of Churchill allocated to my mother as her own that Churchill demanded that the property must be divided into two to his own benefit and we allowed it for peace to reign so he can be happy. This was just to help railroad the poor Barr. Churchill Okedu Wechie to actualize his wildest dream to feel like the Napoleon that he always wanted to be over the properties of our late father in the village. Yet Churchill is still diabolically restless because to him our mother must not live. MIRACULOUSLY, HE HAS CONTINUED TO FAIL!
 
WHY WE LIVED AND BORE OUR MATERNAL SURNAME
10. May I clearly put on record for purposes of emphasis, that we were quietly living our lives with our mother in Rumueme and bore our maternal surname proudly without any hard feelings when this so-called Barr. Churchill Okedu Wechie came with our father to beg my mother on bended knees to bring us back to his family. An incident sometimes about 1982 on record was when Churchill's mother Late Mrs. Baby Fyner Wechie transported herself down to my maternal Community, Mgbuoshimini Oro-Akwor in Rumueme kingdom, came straight to my mother's house and destroyed the windscreen of our father's brand-new Peugeot vehicle which he had just bought during that period and almost set it on fire but for the timely intervention of neighbours. We barely visited our father's house because Churchill's mother was always threatening to either poison us or bath us with acid, and so as kids, we avoided her like we avoided Satan. This was the same attitude her late daughter Cynthia took up against us but our mother never reacted to their hostilities because that was beneath her dignity. Our Community Rumuihunwo-Orogbu and indeed Nkpolu-Oroworukwo can attest to these facts because many of them were branded her enemies for cautioning her including some of her blood relatives. This was the main reason my mother and her family at the time decided that it was unsafe for my mother to cohabit with our late father in his family house in Nkpolu-Oroworukwo for her own safety and that of her children. My mother had no hands whatsoever in what killed his mother and siblings as Churchill wickedly painted in his sponsored shameless false publication. Is it not curious that a woman and her children that you have so brazenly accused of many unsubstantiated things that you joined and begged for her return along with her already established children? He alone (Churchill Wechie) knows what killed his mother and siblings and he should tell the world. He should also open up to the world why his immediate younger brother Brignt Anya Wechie ran from him to London for more than twenty years and has scarcely returned since that period for the fear of his life in the hands of Churchill Wechie.
