His remand comes after weeks of detention following his arrest by police operatives in Abuja on August 20, 2026.
An Owerri Magistrate Court presided over by His Worship, Mrs Ariche Ihuaku Adaoha, has remanded a 33-year-old computer programmer, Victor Ude Chikadibia, popularly known as Mastertruth, in prison custody over allegations of cybercrime, criminal intimidation, and defamation directed at a sitting judicial officer.
Ude was remanded in correctional custody on Thursday, following his arraignment by the Imo State Police Command on a five-count charge bordering on cyberstalking, threats to life, and public ridicule under Section 24(2)(a) and (c) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act 2015, as amended in 2024.
His remand comes after weeks of detention following his arrest by police operatives in Abuja on August 20, 2026.
The arrest stemmed from a series of viral social media posts in which he accused an Imo State Magistrate, His Worship Akunna Chidinma Opara, of leveraging her judicial office to shield a senior clergyman, Apostle Love Judah of Truth Assembly International Churches, from allegations of sexual misconduct against Ude's wife.
