Daniel Ojukwu’s refusal to answer allegations against him by those investigating the matter is the reason the police have yet to charge him to court. Sources disclosed that since his arrest over alleged cyberstalking and spreading of false content on the internet, the writer has not been cooperating with the investigating officers in charge of the matter.

The Director of the Nigeria Police Force-National Cyber Crime Centre, Uche Ifeanyi, on Tuesday, confirmed to Punch Newspaper that the writer had not met his bail conditions.
A source told our correspondent that despite efforts by the police, Ojukwu has refused to cooperate, instead using every tactic possible to avoid having his day in court. Police are going through the process and following all the right rules of engagement.
It would be recalled that the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals confirmed they reported the said writer to security agencies, describing a report he caused to be published on the internet as mischievous, malicious, and an attempt to blackmail the good work of the agency.
OSSAP-SDGS also challenged Ojukwu to provide proof of any misconduct and corruption he has against the office in court where lawyers and forensic experts can verify his claims if they are genuine or not, but all of a sudden, the once strong and energetic writer has developed cold feet and is trying all in his power not to go to court, a pointer to the fact that the published story is false and just a mere “social media bait” to generate buzz, traffic, and revenue via ads at the detriment of people’s hard-earned reputation, a practice that has been long done but at this time hits a brick wall.
A source disclosed that not wanting to be charged in court is just part of the gimmicks to appeal to public sympathy. If truly he is sure of his works, he should cooperate with the authorities and have his day in court.
