According to the charge sheet, Chisom allegedly went public with the accusation, claiming her husband defiled their 2-year-old and 5-year-old daughters. The police said the allegation damaged the man’s reputation and exposed him to ridicule.

The squad’s coordinator, Noah Idemudia, also commended Governor Okpebholo for his outstanding leadership and achievements as he marks one year in office.

In a statement on Wednesday by Idemudia, the team congratulated the governor on his first anniversary, noting that his administration’s Shine Agenda has significantly improved peace, development, and public safety across the state.
