Igbo Leader Breaks His Silence on Human Trafficking Allegations

The Leader of the Igbo Community in Ghana, Chukwudi Jude Ihenetu, has firmly denied what he calls defamatory and baseless accusations made against him by politician and APC leader, Hassan Ayariga.

Ihenetu refuted Ayariga’s claims that he is involved in sex and human trafficking under the guise of business operations in Ghana.

The allegations, made during an interview on TV3, recieved much criticisms from Ghanaians on social media.

“You have to prove it. You can’t accuse somebody of what is not right. That is defamation of character.

“I don’t even know who he is. I see him as a presidential candidate. He’s not my friend. I’ve never come across him anywhere in my life,” Ihenetu stated.

He expressed shock at Ayariga’s assertion that he ordered National Security to arrest him.

“For him to be on air, saying he ordered National Security to arrest me—he ordered them as who? A judge? A president? A friend? That’s not how a public figure should speak,” he added, daring Ayariga.

Ihenetu also addressed claims that there had been protests at his residence.

“There was never a protest at my house. Some people just took my pictures and placed them alongside protest scenes online. That’s fake,” he insisted.

He further noted that rising threats on social media targeting Nigerians in Ghana may have prompted interest from the country’s security services.

“There are even threats on social media targeting Nigerians. So it’s only normal that state security would want to hear from me,” he explained.
