A Delta State-based, self-acclaimed human rights activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, who was accused of defrauding several victims of millions of naira in his fake activism bid has admitted to receiving “gifts” from former state governor, Ifeanyi Okowa. The embattled activist in a reaction to a SaharaReporters’ investigative story on his chain of alleged criminal activities, said Okowa also sent him N300,000 to fix his (Gwamnishu’s) car and later gave him a brand new Toyota Hilux in 2021.

The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, has in a letter dated May 15, 2023, directed the Delta State Commissioner of Police to investigate the criminal allegations against a Delta State-based human rights activist, Harrison Gwamnishu. SaharaReporters had earlier this month reported how the Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre (RULAAC) and 17 other human rights groups across Nigeria petitioned the IGP to probe Gwamnishu over millions of Naira fraud allegations.

SaharaReporters had gathered that the attack and brutalisation of the three journalists who were controlling traffic in Ughelli were allegedly supervised by Asanaenyi Ibok, the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Ughelli 'A' division in the Ughelli North Local government Area of the state.
