Ihuoma Julia Nneji, daughter of the owner of ABC Transport, has alleged that the Nigeria Police Force declared her wanted without first inviting her or informing her of any petition against her.
Over the weekend, Nneji raised the alarm after she was listed in a Special Police Gazette Bulletin issued by the National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC) in Abuja for alleged criminal defamation, injurious falsehood, and cyberstalking.
In a statement, Nneji denied the allegations, insisting that she never defamed or blackmailed anyone, either on her verified social media accounts or elsewhere.
Instead, she claimed she was the victim of blackmail and threats from her ex-fiancé, Henry Uzochukwu, whom she identified as the complainant in the case.
Narrating her side of the story, Nneji said:
“I met Henry Uzochukwu in April 2024, and we started getting to know each other. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned”.
“This conflict began in August 2024 when I called off our wedding, scheduled for November 2024, due to unresolved issues regarding Henry’s sexuality. I found incriminating evidence suggesting he is gay and decided not to proceed with the marriage.
“Further investigations revealed not only his interest in men but also that he had been engaged multiple times without disclosing the reasons for the failed marriages. I discovered that the woman he was to marry before me left him a week before the wedding over the same issue.
“I was deceived and manipulated by the many lies he told.
“After I canceled the wedding, he began to harass me, threatened my life, and falsely accused me of operating an Instagram page spreading rumors about him — a claim that is speculative and untrue.”
As of the time of filing this report, the Nigeria Police Force has yet to officially respond to the allegations raised by Nneji.
