The former Coordinator of Orsu North Development Area of Imo state, Chief Damian Santa Okpara has been dragged to an Orlu High Court for the unlawful detention of one Chief Nelson Janel Okpara.
The plaintiff is claiming the sum of three hundred million naira from the ex- Orsu North Boss and two others, Edwin Obiezue and Ambrose Ogbuji for maliciously writing a petition to the Inspector- General of police which caused him to be arrested and detained.
In the petition, the three men alleged that Chief Nelson Janel Okpara kidnapped the four children of one of the defendants and also burnt his house in Amaruru autonomous community, Orsu Local Government Area of Imo State.
In the cause of investigation, the police claimed that they discovered that it was Chief Damian Santa Okpara, Edwin Obiezue and Mr Ambrose Ogbuji that actually took the children and hide them in Chokocho community in Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State.
As a result, the police arrested the three defendants who are consequently arraigned before a Chief magistrate court in Abuja for giving false information to the police.
