| Samuelson Iwuoha |
He made this known in an interview with Harold Express in Owerri, the state capital, after he was released from detention, where he spent almost a year.
Iwuoha began his fight with the former governor of the state, Ikedim Ohakim, and went on to battle with his former boss, the Speaker of Imo State House of Assembly, Benjamin Uwajumogu, who he served as his SA on Media.
On April 27, 2015 a High Court in Owerri presided over by Justice Irene Duruoha Igwe quashed the case levelled against him.
Iwuoha spoke on his experience in prison and revealed some dirty secrets. Excerpts.
What actually happened
The truth of the matter is that Uwajumogu, you know, I exposed him. That is just the simple truth.
What has that exposure benefited the State or solved
In the first place, the State Governor, Rochas Okorocha said that he was going to fight corruption. Even, he initiated the Imo Anthem, and in it, one of the stanzas says, ‘Corruption must stop’. So, at the office, I saw what was going on and I tried calling Uwajumogu to order. I told him, ‘look, you did not give me appointment as a politician. I accepted the appointment because I am a social crusader. So, there was no way I would be here and things will be going wrong and I will not talk’.
Yes, in our office, we were like a family. Naturally, nobody should expect me to come out and start talking about what was happening, but within us, I made him to understand that people should be reasonable. I did not accuse him directly because accusing him directly while I was under his authority would be an act of insubordination.
I accused the Chief of Staff and the senior aides directly because they were very fraudulent and fetish, and a whole lot of things they were doing. Then, I used my own department, the Media Department as an instance to let the Speaker know what was happening. But the Speaker didn’t like it. He never liked it at all, because investigating the Chief of Staff meant also investigating him, because for every hundred naira stolen by the Chief of Staff, Kodichi Anamekwe, the Speaker knew of it and that is the simple truth.
So, rather than him taking action, he wanted all the senior aides to swear to an oath. Yes, that was how the problem started. Sometime in May 2013, I got a test message sent by the SA Admin, Kingsley Nkemka, now late. He said that if we arrive at the office we should head straight to the Speaker’s house. So when we arrived at the Speaker’s private residence in Umuguma, we were all ushered into his bedroom, eight of us, senior aides.
For me, I knew I was the target. We saw a native doctor in his bedroom. The Speaker himself was stack naked.
Really
I am telling you, he was stack naked. Well, you are interviewing me now, that is why I am saying it. I wanted to do a comprehensive account so that the whole world will know and I will still do it. The Speaker was stack naked with a native doctor, then the Chief of Staff, Kodichi and his mother, the mother is the head of the ghost workers.
Whose mother
Kodichi. In my petition to the EFCC, I also mentioned her name. I am sure you read the letter?
Yes
So, it was the woman that addressed us. Before the native doctor calls your name, he will make some pronouncements which you will repeat after him, he will now give you that fetish thing, you would drink and go to where Uwajimogu was standing and then kiss his manhood and all that. I was the only person that refused to do that.
In fact, that was why I was suspended. Do you understand? and not even that, I did not do anything wrong. The thing was……… but I fought my way back and the battle continued.
The truth of the matter is that in any socio political gathering or call it office or whatever, you are bound to meet such things because people will be fighting for positions but as for me as a crusader I saw a lot. They planned to kill me on several occasions but they didn’t succeed. Eventually, I resigned on December 17, 2013. If I did not resign on that day, they would have killed me. And of course, many people died in that office.

While I was in prison, Nkemka was also murdered. The style of killing was the same. Even they came here wanting to kill me, of which by the grace of God I was not around, eventually, Architect Franklin Okoli was killed. It is still the same thing. The truth of the matter is that when I resigned, for me, I didn’t initially start to accuse the Speaker. I started with the Chief of Staff and other aides before I now summoned enough courage to confront my boss. I alerted the Governor. Of course, the Governor is one of them. They are all the same people, members of the reformed Ogboni Fraternity. As I am saying this, I want people to know what is going on in the state. That is the simple truth. The Governor is a Grand Master of the reformed Ogboni Fraternity. The Speaker is a nominal member of the reformed Ogboni Fraternity. And the current Chief Judge, Justice Paschal Nnadi is also a Grand Master of the reformed Ogboni Fraternity.
Everything is just Ogboni Fraternity all the way, if you don’t believe in their system or if you don’t toe their line, they will look at you as somebody who has come to spy on them unless you are one of them. Or at least you take an oath.
Then, the issue of homosexuals’ is a terrible thing. The Speaker is not a homosexual. I will stand on the truth, but of course, the truth of the matter is that many people at the executive arm of government, more than 85% of them are homosexuals and I am going to publish their names. Both elected and appointed political appointees. They have all been initiated. Then is it drug addiction? Hard drugs!
What of the women political appointees
That’s what I am saying. Homosexual and lesbianism are incorporated. I will talk. I am not afraid. Or is it burying of charms prepared with new born babies and even adopted babies, killing of people? Do we talk of the kidnap of the Principal Secretary to the former Deputy Governor, Sir Emenike Ihekwoaba? Do we talk about the brutal murder of Laz Anyanwu?
But I understand you were framed up and sent to prison
Yes, on the issue of the murder of Architect Franklin Okoli, the Speaker, having been frightened, because I forced him to set up a panel and he refused. I went to EFCC. Then the Governor was afraid. The Governor now made a U-turn and went on a local government road assessment tours and openly indicted the Speaker. It was all over the news and the Speaker Himself made a U-turn and set up a kangaroo panel. While they were still inside the chambers, I did my press release and described the panel as April Fooland I made nonsense of it.
They invited me and I told them I will not come, and nothing happened. That proved that it was a kangaroopanel.
The man felt humiliated, and the truth of the matter is that the governor also felt embarrassed because I also started writing letters to the government, official letters entitled; Imo State Government Silence on Speaker Uwajumogu’s Criminal and Fraudulent Activities is Embarrassing’.
I also wrote and said, ‘Your Personal Silence on Uwajumogu’s Criminal Activities is Worrisome’.
That was when the governor invited the Speaker and ordered him to kill me. I am telling you the truth. The Speaker left Government House and started calling some of his friends, saying, ‘the governor has ordered me to kill Samuelson’.
One of his friends, and I will mention his name. His name is Chief Emeka Ibe (Emeka South) from Obolo in Isiala Mbano, so that people will know what I am talking about. He called me and told me what Uwajumogu revealed to him. And of course the whole world knew because I was alerting the world, ‘my life is in danger oooo’, my life is in danger oooo’
When this cult war started in Owerrri between Vikings Confraternity and Black Axe Movement, the Imo State government now cued into it to frame me up. Uwajumogu sent five armed boys to come here and kill me. And if they had succeeded, I would have been termed a victim of cult clash.
But unfortunately for them, I was not around. From the report of the security meeting which was held at Government House on Thursday, June 5, 2014 on the orders Sir Jude Ejiogu, Chief of Staff to the Governor, Uwajumogu was contacted by those boys, and Uwajumogu told them to just kill anybody, that they will still hang it on my head, so that I will be arrested.
That was what happened. I did not kill anybody. And that is the truth. Luckily for me, God made sure that I did not come back. I only returned to meet policemen in my compound. How can I kill? A crusader? Eh?
When I was in my office, I was returning unspent funds, the only political appointee in Imo State government that was returning money. I had the opportunity to make money, I said no, because I got this appointment based on my social crusade work, speaking up against ills of the society. I was very honest. But look at what has happened to Uwajumogu today. He crashed out completely.
A man I gave so much love. Before God and man, if somebody had told me I would quarrel with Uwajumogu, I would have given that person a bloody knock out, because I loved this man with all my heart.
I didn’t just see him as my boss, I saw him as my own father, my own brother, my uncle. In short, I saw him as Samuelson Iwuoha himself. I saw myself as the Speaker of the Assembly. I protected that office. But look at, that place has collapsed, the entire office.
And I am sure having fought the battle and lost completely, in his sober moments, he would be reflecting on what actually happened, and his conscience would tell him that Samuelson actually protected him. I gave that man undiluted love but he abused and missed it.
What has EFCC done with the revelations you made
Well, I have just come out of prison and thank God, somebody like Buhari is now the president-elect. He would be sworn in soon. Trust me.
How long did you stay in the prison
I stay 328 days in all, 65 days at the police, that is about two months at the police and then nine months in the prison.
What of your wife
She spent a total of six and half months; two months at the police and four and half months in the prison.
Who took care of your children
Well, God took care of them through my brothers, sisters and in-laws, my parents. My children suddenly became emergency orphans, but we give God the glory.
What are your plans now
Well, I am taking stock of what happened and taking a look at my businesses, to re-organize my businesses and social crusade work. Of course, giving thanks and glory to God because the mere quashing of the case against me is a proof that God has always been on my side.
A lot of my goods running in millions of naira spoilt in my warehouse! But I thank God am alive. My lawyers are preparing to take action against these criminals.
You were arrested and kept in police custody, who took the matter to Court
Well, I have contacts. You know, I was writing from police cell. So, instead of the police doing investigation, they were only interested in finding out how I was writing. So, every morning, the then Deputy Commissioner of Police, David Folawiyo, he was always coming to my cell to search to see if he would see writing materials on me because I was writing on daily basis.
How were you writing them
I won’t tell you, I am a strategist. I was writing and all my write ups were published on the Internet. So I was able to pull down people from Abuja, Senior Police Officers. I was able to contact Inspector General of Police, even the Presidency. They all were involved in this matter and they sent Senior Police Officers to come and pull the matter from Owerri here to Abuja.
And when they came down here, the then Commissioner of police, Abdul-Majid Ali, they have posted him out now, but he alerted the Governor who came out openly and stopped them because they knew that if I had been transferred to Abuja, I would have been released and Abuja would have come down here to pick those five boys and they would have confessed and the identity of their sponsors being Okorocha and Uwajumogu would have been unmasked.
In order to frustrate that effort of taking me to Abuja, my wife and I were rushed to the court and were remanded in prison custody. In a way, I fought from police cell and we striped them n@ked and the whole world started to see their n@edness and emptiness. In a bid to cover that n@kedness, they rushed us to court in an attempt to use the judiciary as fig leaves to cover their n@kedness, just like Adam and Eve. But the main thing is that Iwuoha is out and they would see the true meaning of activism.
Okorocha would not go scot free, I am going to deal with him.
While in the prison, how did the matter continue in court
I have lawyers. My lawyers fought hard, and of course, we knew we would win but they simply used executive power to suppress us.
How was the matter finally struck out
That was on Monday April 27, and on that day, the Governor, immediately he learnt that the matter had been struck out, went mad and said, ‘that Judge? She went and struck off the matter and released the boy so that he would come out and destabilize my government?
Which judge
Justice Irene Duruoha Igwe a very wonderful woman.
Which court
High Court 4 Owerri. Okorocha disappointed the whole world but am going to expose him. He has a killer squad, let him come out openly and kill me, but I am going to mess him up. As I did to Uwajumogu so will I do to Okorocha. I am not afraid of him.
