The 6 Division, Nigerian Army, Port Harcourt, has been found guilty of
human rights violation against an actress Ebere Ohakwe, by a Federal
High Court, sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State
The
court awarded N1 million in favour of Ohakwe against the Army and
ordered the Division to tender an unreserved apology to the applicant. .

The
trial Judge, Justice Adamu Turaki Mohammed of High Court 5, noted that
the applicant proved her case, adding that she was entitled to reliefs
she sought and restrained the defendants from carrying out further
unlawful actions against her. .

Recall that in January, 2017,
the applicant was allegedly brutalised by one Olamilekan Suleiman, while
traveling to Onitsha. He had accused her of discussing him with her
friend, during a stop and search, an allegation Ohakwe denied.
