EARLIER REPORT:
⚖️ MAN ARRAIGNED OVER ALLEGEDLY FALSE POSTS ABOUT GOV. SOLUDO AND HIS SON
The Anambra State Police Command has arraigned Ejike Ofoegbu, the alleged owner and publisher of Igbo Times Magazine and iNews, over allegations of publishing false and defamatory reports about the family of Governor Charles Soludo.
According to the police, the case followed a petition alleging that Ofoegbu published fabricated stories on social media claiming, among other things, that Governor Soludo had disowned his son, Ozonna (Ozo) Soludo, and other statements attributed to both father and son.
Police spokesperson Tochukwu Ikenga said the suspect was handed over by the Department of State Services (DSS), investigated, and subsequently arraigned in court. He has reportedly been remanded in a correctional centre pending further proceedings.
The police also stated that Ofoegbu has since retracted the publications and issued a public apology to Governor Soludo.
The allegations against the defendant will be determined by the court, and he remains entitled to the presumption of innocence unless proven guilty.
