Imo Acting CJ Order against widow stirs anger in Imo, jurnalists, others seek intervention of Imo First Lady
A perceived controversial Court Order to exhume the body of Late Chief Ifeanyichukwu Dona Amuchienwa in Suit number inSuit No: HMI/144/ 2025 issued by Imo State Acting Chief Judge, His Lordship, Justice Ijeoma Agugua, that favoured dully divorced wife of the deceased, Mrs Chinyere Igwebe against the legally married wife Barr.Mrs Ogechi Henrietta Amuchienwa, has stired up anger with serious reactions in the hearts of Imo residents.
The Order of the Acting Chief Judge is generally viewed by observers and analysts as a ticket to the dully divorced wife for continuous molestation, tormenting and suppression of the legally married wife of late Chief Ifeanyichukwu Dona Amuchienwa.
Credible sources from the family disclosed that Late Chief Ifeanyichukwu Dona Amuchienwa traditionally sacked Mrs Chinyere Igwebe, by returning drink on her head as Igbo Culture and Tradition demand in regard to rejecting or sacking a married woman.
Imo people who are highly displeased by the development has called on Imo State First Lady, Barr. Mrs Chioma Uzodimma to quickly intervene in what they described as a mischievous move in order to stop the pains and agony the exhumation may cause Barr. Mrs Ogechi Amuchienwa, someone seen and judged as a virtuous woman and a symbol of womanhood in all ramifications.
Village sources from Ishi Ubomiri, were Late Chief Ifeanyichukwu Dona Amuchienwa and his duly married wife Barr.Mrs Ogechi Henrietta Amuchienwa, hailed from, revealed to journalists that Chinyere Igwebe has the support of an influential personalities in the community who have been purportedly backing her to contnously trouble Barr.Mrs Ogechi Henrietta Amuchienwa.
Another source from Ishi Ubomiri, Community, told reporters that the Traditional Ruler of the community,His Royal Highness,Eze George Ekeh, suspended the Village head of Late Chief Ifeanyichukwu Dona Amuchienwa, Eugene Opara, Chairman of Umuawam Village Meeting, for disobeying his instruction not to attend the burial.
A palace source who confirmed this, also revealed that the monarch reportedly dropped a hint on the floor of the palace that there is already a Court Order for exhumation.
When the order finally came out as hinted by the monarch, observers wondered how he managed to know about it before it was issued by the Acting Chief Judge.
In the views of a journalist and public opinion analyst, Mr James Nwosu, he called for urgent intervention by office of Imo State First Lady, Barr.Mrs Chioma Uzodimma to save a fellow woman from an influencial figure who believes and behaves as if she has monopoly of molestation against a helpless and innocent widow who has suffered a lot in taking care of her husband during the years he battled with sickness.
Expressing his views, another Imo State journalist, Mr Emeka Opara, he said; what I see is injustice, nepotism and conspiracy against the legally married wife of the deceased, Barr. Mrs Ogechi Henrietta Amuchienwa.
Is worthy to note that Late Mr Ifeanyichukwu Dona Amuchienwa, did a court wedding with Mrs Ogechi Henrietta Amuchienwa to consolidate their union,this was few years after he divorced Mrs Chinyere.
Mr Chris Emecheta, a seasoned journalist, questioned; why the Chief Judge should give order in a matter the clamant has no locus, saying; ‘I smell rat, are they dispensing justice or destroying justice, he questioned.
Many who are perturbed about the development, have expressed believed that the Order by the Acting Chief Judge is an indirect approval and moves to inflict more pains on a helpless young widow who’s still mourning her late husband.
According to reports in public domain, Imo State Acting Chief Judge,in a High Court in Suit No: HMI/144/ 2025 instituted by Barr Chidi Valentine Chilaka for Mrs. Chinyere Lilian Igwebe, a divorced wife of the deceased for over 30 years, ordered court to exhume the remains of Late Chief Ifeanyichukwu Dona Amuchienwa an order many viewed as a miscarriage of Justice.
From a general perspective, the order is viewed as controversial and injustice against a mourning widow and the late husband, was allegedly influenced by Mrs Chinyere Igwebe with her said links in the office of the Acting Chief Judge.
Those who are totally displeased with the judgement called it a mischievous open door for continous suppression and molestation of the widow.
Inside sources alleged that the sacked wife allegedly influenced the order as she was said to be jubilating few days before the day the Acting Chief Judge gave the order.
Many that expressed displeasure and questioned the order said the Acting Chief Judge who’s is also a woman should have considered the manner former Mrs Chinyere Amuchienwa, was officially and traditionally divorced?, how she never showed any positive interest to help out in the man’s ill health when he was sick as well as during his burial before given order in such a sensitive matter.
Dependable family sources said when Late Chief Ifeanyichukwu Dona Amuchienwa,
was sick, Mrs Chinyere showed no interest in rendering any form of medical or financial help to him, when he later died after battling stroke and kidney failure, she did not also participate in his burial. She reportedly instructed the two children, she gave birth for the man not to attend their late father’s burial and they obeyed their mother.
From public perception, majority of Imo people viewed the Court Order as a disrespect to the deceased, they have continuously questioned the motive Mrs Chinyere who instructed the children she gave birth for the man not to attend their father’s burial, suddenly went to court with such mischivious claim that is neither here nor there.
Recall that they had earlier gone to customary Court with same prayers but the court declined jurisdiction in the matter, citing that Barr Mrs Ogechi Henrietta Amuchienwa was duly married.
From available reports, there was no case of Homicide instituted against the family or any member of the Amuchienwa”s family before the burial, now the Acting Chief Judge has given the order, observers are asking ” is it who verses who? The public has also questioned the exhumation order when abinitio there was no police case of Homicide.
According to reports about the said Chinyere published on cable news on July 8 2021 by Bolanle Olamitan by 19;52 pm, it read in parts’ however, in a new charge dated June 25 and marked CR/187/2021, the police accused Chinyere Amuchienwa of providing false information in her petition against Ohakim and his co-defendant.
In count two, Chinyere Amuchienwa is alleged to have lied that she gave Ohakim “the sum of N500 million for the purchase of a land in Lagos during the 2019 election”.
Count three of the charge “That you, Chinyere Amuchienwa Igwegbe (f), of 7B, Emelda Estate, Apo, Abuja, FCT, between late 2017 and mid 2018 within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, intentionally exposed your genital organs and intentionally caused distress to other parties and that you did so with a selfie video with intention of deriving sexual pleasure from such act and you thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 26(3) of the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act 2015.”
“That you Chinyere Amuchienwa Igwegbe (F) of 7B Emelda Estate Apo, Abuja, FCT severally and repeatedly within the Jurisdiction of this honourable court, by spoken words and mechanical means which you intended to be read published directly and indirectly in the estimation of others, lowered the moral and intellectual character of (1) Dr Ikedi Ohakim (2) Chinedu Okpareke; that your words and actions were so loathsome and disgraceful that you hurt the feelings of their family and relatives, and you thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 392 of the Penal Code Laws of Northern Nigeria,” count four reads.
Other Imolites who spoke, urged her to desist from actions and inactions that breed tension and trouble in her former husband’s house as it was obvious that the man rejected her when he was alive.

After Bitten To De@th By Snake, Another Snake Reportedly Found Under Ambulance Carrying Nanyah’s Remains Back Home
A London-based teacher and culture ambassador, Uche Nworah, has shared a shocking incident that reportedly occurred while the remains of late singer Ifunanya Nwangene popularly known as Nanyah, were being transported to Enugu.
Nworah, who claims to have been Facebook friends with Ifunanya’s uncle for years, revealed details he says were shared directly by her uncle during a phone conversation.
Contrary to earlier reports circulating on social media, Nworah clarified that Ifunanya did not reside on the ground floor of her Abuja apartment but on the second floor.
This, he noted, raises questions about how snakes could have accessed her living space, as ground-floor access via drains or toilets would not apply.
According to Nworah, the ambulance carrying Ifunanya’s body broke down while en route to Enugu, in line with her father’s wishes.
The breakdown caused a delay as a replacement vehicle had to be called to continue the transport.
While waiting for the replacement ambulance, a snake was reportedly found under the broken-down vehicle.
Sharing the uncle’s account on Facebook, Nworah wrote:
“…Beyond social media claims, I received a call from Ifunanya’s uncle, who has been my Facebook friend for many years. During our conversation, he made disclosures that some may consider disturbing, while others may view them as mere coincidences.
He stated that contrary to widespread reports on social media, Ifunanya did not live on the ground floor of her residence but on the second floor. This raises questions about how snakes could have gained access to her apartment. Had she lived on the ground floor, one might argue that the snakes entered through drainage systems or toilets, but this explanation appears less straightforward given that she lived on the second floor.
He further recounted a strange incident that occurred while her body was being transported to Enugu State in an ambulance, in accordance with her father’s wishes. According to him, the ambulance conveying her remains broke down along the Abuja Expressway, necessitating calling for a replacement vehicle. During the wait he said, a snake was discovered beneath the broken-down ambulance and was subsequently killed.
While these incidents may be entirely unrelated and purely coincidental, they nonetheless raise questions and leave room for reflection.”
The revelation has sparked discussion online, with many questioning the unusual events surrounding the singer’s death.

FMINO PRESS RELEASE: CAC AT 35 YEARS HAS BECOME A PILLAR OF NIGERIA’S ECONOMIC CREDIBILITY – INFORMATION MINISTER
The Honourable Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to transparency, institutional reform, and ease of doing business, describing effective inter-agency collaboration as critical to the success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The Minister made this known while receiving the Registrar-General and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), Hussaini Ishaq Magaji, SAN, who led the delegation of the Commission on a courtesy visit to the Ministry ahead of the Commission’s 35th anniversary celebration (CAC@35).
Idris commended the Corporate Affairs Commission for what he described as remarkable institutional reforms that have repositioned the Commission as “a key driver of Nigeria’s business environment and economic credibility.” He noted that CAC’s transformation, particularly through technology and digitisation, aligns strongly with the Federal Government’s broader reform agenda.
The Minister praised CAC’s role in improving the ease of doing business, strengthening corporate governance, and enhancing investor confidence, stressing that such reforms are vital to national development. He also acknowledged the Commission’s contribution to Nigeria’s recent delisting from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list, describing it as a major milestone that reflects growing global confidence in Nigeria’s regulatory and transparency frameworks.
According to him, the progress recorded under the Tinubu administration, including rising foreign reserves, easing inflation, improved investor confidence, and economic stabilisation, cannot be fully told without recognising the role of reform-driven institutions such as the Corporate Affairs Commission.
The Minister further encouraged CAC to intensify public engagement and advocacy to ensure Nigerians are fully informed about the Commission’s innovations, services, and achievements. He assured the Commission of the Ministry’s support in amplifying its reforms and programmes through strategic communication and public enlightenment.
Earlier, the Registrar-General of CAC, Hussaini Ishaq Magaji, SAN, said the courtesy visit was to formally invite the Honourable Minister to the Commission’s 35th anniversary celebration and to present a scorecard of reforms achieved under the current administration.
He explained that CAC has transitioned from a largely manual, location-bound registry to a fully digital, technology-driven institution, with services now accessible in real time from anywhere in the country. He disclosed that the Commission has expanded its digital offerings from 33 services to over 100 online services, deployed artificial intelligence for business name reservation and registration, and introduced Application Programming Interface (API) services to support banks, embassies, security agencies, and other institutions.
The Registrar-General highlighted the operationalisation of the Beneficial Ownership Register, noting that it has strengthened transparency, boosted investor confidence, and positioned Nigeria as a global reference point for corporate disclosure. He added that CAC’s reforms have helped bring over four million informal businesses into the tax net, improved security by registering POS operators, and supported small and medium-scale enterprises through free business registrations in partnership with relevant agencies.
He also announced the Commission’s upcoming partnership with Google to further strengthen its digital infrastructure and service delivery, as well as the launch of an AI-powered public support platform to guide users on corporate and regulatory matters.
He thanked the Honourable Minister for the warm reception and support, and formally invited him to the CAC@35 anniversary celebration scheduled for February 9, 2026.
The event was attended by the Permanent Secretary of Information and National Orientation, Mr Ogbodo Chinasa Nnam, Director National Archives, Dr. Evelyn Odigboh, Director Public Relations and Protocol, Dr. Haruna Suleiman, and the Special Assistant, Administration to the Honourable Minister, Dr. Sunday Baba, fnipr.
