Police Arrest Lawyer Over Facebook Protest On Rot In Abattoir Of NPF by Keziehenry(m): 5:58am On Oct 19, 2018
By: Kingsley Omonobi-Abuja.
The Police at Force headquarters on
Thursday said operatives of the Force
Criminal Investigations and Intelligence
Department, FCT Command have arrested
one Emeka Ephraim Ugwuonye over
alleged Facebook comments on protesting
the ‘rot in the Abattoir of the Nigerian
Police Force.

The Police in a statement signed by Force
Public Relations Officer, Acting DCP Jimoh
Moshood, said Mr. Ugwuonye has been
arraigned before an FCT Magistrate Court
3, at Wuse Zone 6 and is facing criminal
prosecution for allegedly misinforming the
public and inciting public servants.
Moshood said, “The attention of the
Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to a
post on a Facebook page of a group with
insignia: The Due Process Advocate and a
video peddling on Social Media by the
convener of same group, one Emeka
Ephraim Ugwuonye.
“The Nigeria Police Force wishes to
categorically implore the members of the
public to ignore and disregard the video or
any insinuation on the Face book page
from ‘The Due Process Advocate’ as ill-
motive, mischievous, misinformation
aimed at casting aspersions on the hard-
earned integrity and credibility of Police
Officers and Men.
“The Nigeria Police Force sees the video
and publication as a desperate and
deliberate attempt to incite members of
the Public against the Force.
“Consequently, the said Emeka Ephraim
Ugwuonye is presently facing criminal
prosecution and was arraigned at the
Magistrate Court 3, Wuse Zone 6, AMAC,
FCT, today, 18th October, 2018 and the
Charge reads in part.
“Nature of Information: Injurious
Falsehood, Defamation, Giving False
Information with intent to mislead public
servant in discharge of her duty,
fabricating false evidence, personation and
inciting disturbance contrary to and
punishable under Sections: 393, 342, 148,
158, 132 and 144 of the penal Code Law.
“That on the 16/10/2018 at about
1630hrs, acting on a tip-off, one Ephraim
Emeka ‘m’ of No. 25 Adeyemo Olakija
street Victoria Island Lagos was arrested
by detectives from the Criminal
Investigation and Intelligence Department
(CIID), FCT Police Command Abuja;
“That on the 15/10/2018 the said
Ephraim Emeka Ugwuonye published some
injurious and abusive language against
the Nigeria Police Force on his Face book
page titled Due Process Advocate (DPA)
with the intention to dissuade Police
Investigators from carrying out their
statutory roles, and fabricating false
evidence of the names of suspect in
detention of Police through videotaping
and circulating same with intent to extort
money from members of the public, incite
public disturbance against the Nigeria
Police Force by impersonating to be a
practicing lawyer after being disrobed by
the Supreme Court of Nigeria… You hereby
commit the above-mentioned offences”
“Currently, Ephraim Emeka Ugwuonye has
been disrobed by the Supreme Court of
Nigeria and no longer a lawyer to practice
in Nigeria because of so many criminal
acts he has committed in the past.
“Further updates on the trial will be made
available to the public in due time.”
