AWKA — A blogger and publisher of Igbo Times Magazine and INews, Ejike Ofoegbu, has been remanded in a correctional centre in Anambra State after he was arraigned before a Magistrate Court in Awka over alleged cyberstalking, defamation and publication of false information against Governor Chukwuma Soludo and his family.

Ofoegbu was arraigned following a petition alleging the publication of false claims capable of causing reputational damage and public disaffection.

Chief Security Officer to Governor Soludo, O.K. Nkuma, who testified before the court, said the suspect’s telephone was tracked to Imo State, where he was arrested and brought to Anambra.
