Police Arrest Mike Nwaukoni, Charge Suspect With Terrorism, Attempted Murder

The Inspector General of Police, acting within the full ambit of the law, has filed an amended seven-count charge against Mike Nwaukoni and others (Charge No. FHC/ASB/18C/2024 ), ranging from terrorism and attempted murder to inciting native war and damage to police property.

The gravity of these allegations underscores the seriousness of his alleged role in the October 2023 invasion of the Palace of the Obi of Ogwashi-Uku—an incident that sent shockwaves through the ancient kingdom and beyond.

For those who have followed this saga, the latest development is both unsurprising and consequential.

Mr. Nwaukoni had, for months, remained at large, while his alleged co-conspirators—Barrister Francis Okolie, Mr. Eugene Izediunor, John Nwaona, and Eluemunor Sunday Adigwe—had already been arraigned with the criminal charges.

His sudden appearance and subsequent arrest raise pertinent questions: Where was he all along when his associates were being charged? Was he receiving protection? Or was this a strategic retreat to regroup and restrategise?

Upon his arrest by the X Squad Police at the Delta State Headquarters, Mr. Nwaukoni reportedly provided a statement, a development that has led to revised and amended charges against all the defendants.

The police, determined to ensure that this case reaches a logical conclusion, have granted him bail pending his arraignment at the Federal High Court in Asaba.

But there is a lingering concern: Will he honour his court date, or will he revert to the old playbook of evasion and excuses?

Police sources recall that Mr. Nwaukoni had, in the past, claimed to be overseas for medical treatment—a classic alibi often used by high-profile suspects to frustrate the judicial process.

This time, authorities are demanding firm assurances from his legal representatives that he will stand trial as required.

Should he fail to appear, the next logical step would be an immediate warrant for his re-arrest—a move that would further compound his legal troubles.

Beyond the courtroom drama, the Ogwashi-Uku Kingdom, once embroiled in tension following the palace invasion, has since experienced a return to relative peace. But the underlying issues remain.

The Delta State Government’s Commission of Inquiry on Land and Chieftaincy Disputes—an investigative body set up to probe these longstanding conflicts—has been methodically gathering evidence.

Public hearings held in November 2024 attracted over thirty petitioners, all eager to shed light on the contentious land and traditional rulership disputes, particularly the question of Otulu Ogwashi-Uku and Olu-Odu Ogwashi-Uku.

The outcome of this inquiry will undoubtedly shape the future of land ownership and traditional authority in the region. But as the commission works through its findings, one thing is certain: justice must not only be done but must be seen to be done.

For now, the case against Mike Nwaukoni will proceed through the judicial pipeline, with legal analysts and the general public watching closely. Will this be a case of swift justice, or will it descend into the familiar pattern of endless legal gymnastics? The coming weeks will provide the answer.

Further updates will follow as the story unfolds.
