After Adanma Odefa and her husband, Kanayo Nwachukwu reportedly defrauded a company, Chidex International Nigeria Limited of N5,040,000, further attempts to continue have landed them at Abia State High Court, Ikwuano LGA
Odefa, Public Relations Officer, PRO of Michael Okpara University, Umudike, MOUAU and her husband had persuaded the company which was awarded contract for cleaning and maintenance of a hostel at the school to part with the money alleging it was meant as returns for MOUAU Vice Chancellor, Prof Francis Otunta
During the first hearing in the suit number HU/2m/2020, at Ikwuano, Odefa and her husband were represented by Mr Daniel Anya. However, other respondents including the AIG, zone 9, Police Zonal
HQs and the IPO in the case, Mr Oko Solomon did not show up.
In the supporting affidavit to his claims for 'Enforcement of Fundamental Rights, Mr F. Ege, a representative of Chidex narrated how the refusal of the company to continue monthly payments of N820,000 for the duration of the contract infuriated Odefa and husband who thereafter set the police on him, to arrest, intimidate and torture him until he continues payments to him
He stated that as at July 2019, the sum of N5,040,000 has been fraudulently obtained by Odefa and her husband from Chidex. According to the statement, the company stopped further payment to them when their investigation showed that MOUAU vice Chancellor and his wife were not the recipient of the monies as Odefa and husband claimed.
Rather than remorse at being found out, Odefa and husband became infuriated and unleashed the Police on him.
Ege who claimed his fundamental rights had been breached by the Police intimidation and harassment is also asking for N400,000 as claims for damages and gross violation of his rights.
The presiding judge, Justice Jones Udeogu adjourned the case to February 24 for further hearing.
