Lagos Trader Remanded In Delta Prison For Months Cries For Justice, Alleges Frame-Up, Mistaken Identity By Nigeria PoliceOkorie hails from Ebonyi but owns a shop at Ikotun Market in Lagos where he sells rice and beans.Okorie hails from Ebonyi but owns a shop at Ikotun Market in Lagos where he sells rice and beans.

The IPO, Inspector Orode, in a statement under oath, dated October 4, 2022, filed before the registry of the Federal High Court sitting in Effurun, alleged that “Mr. Emmanuel Okorie on/about March 25, 2022, at about 1900hours, a complaint of obtaining goods under false pretence was reported by one Queen Emanerame with her sales girl, one Ogbuji Angela, against him."

"That when the defendant and his cohorts noticed that the sales girl, Ogbuji Angela had left the church for their shop, they immediately went to Agofure Motor Park where they had paid the sum of N250,000.00 for a truck the previous day i.e. the 24th day of March, 2022 and conveyed the bags of rice to Lagos.

She said on March 28, 2022, after she did not get any alert for the remaining amount of money, she went to the church with her sales girl, Angela and met with the Secretary of St. Jude Catholic Church, Mrs Gift Ezims and Reverend Father, John Mark Ikeke, who told them that a man had come to receive the rice at the church.

Also, while the shipment document showed Emmanuel Okorie at Ikotun Market, Lagos State as the receiver of the goods, there was no detailed information about the sender as the spaces for the sender's details were not filled, and the quantity of rice stated to be delivered was one bag weighing 50kg. Mr. Okorie asked why the police left the cleric and instead, arrested him in his shop in Lagos and charged him for a transaction he knows nothing about.

He said that though he trades on rice, he does not deal in ''Mango rice', the type of rice allegedly stolen from Mrs Emanerame’s shop in Delta State.SaharaReporters learnt that the Chief Magistrate Magistrate Court in Effurun, E.A. Odjugo first remanded and kept Mr. Okorie at Federal Correctional Centre, Sapele on April 25, 2022 on similar charges filed by the police while awaiting DPP's advice.

SaharaReporters called two phone numbers said to belong to Mrs Emanerame but while one was answered by a man who identified himself as a fashion designer and said it was a wrong number, the second phone line did not connect.
