Emeka Ohakim, the son of former governor of Imo state, Ikedi Ohakim, who is facing charges of corruption, threatened a witness in the trial.

prosecution counsel, Festus Keyamo, revealed how the accused’s son, Emeka Ohakim, had allegedly went on the trail of the prosecution witness today, January 26.

Keyamo addressing Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, said the PW2, Sule, managing director, Tweenex Consociate H.D. Limited, called him at about 9.00p.m. on Monday, January 25, saying that Emeka Ohakim, had gone to Sule’s office at Asokoro to inquire about his home address from some individuals.

He stated that three individuals, identified as Okon (a driver), Akpabor (a driver) and Shola (an architect), corroborated the witness’ claim.

However, the defense counsel, urged the court to dismiss the story as frivolous, said the prosecution could file an application on the matter as he had mentioned to the court.

Justice Adeniyi, who was disturbed about the allegation after listening to both counsel, said there was no harm if the prosecution had hinted the defendant and his counsels about the incident.

The judge adjourned the case to Wednesday, January 27, for continuation of trial.
