Anambra Youth Movement, AYM, a group of youth professionals in the state has said that it is disturbed by the rising penchant by faceless social media writers to deliberately create public discount in the case of the State Vs Ozo Jeff Nweke and two others now before Awka High Court 1, in the state.

The group said in a statement signed by its Chairman, Johnson Maduka that since the matter with charge No; Awk/6c/2025 in which Ozo Nweke and two others were charged with the alleged kidnap of one Benjamin Ezenma otherwise known as Big Ben, was mentioned on Thursday, February 20, 2025, these writers have gone to town with all manner of insinuations aimed at propagating public odium against the person of Ozo Jeff Nweke and whip up public hatred against him.

” We dare say that this show of absymal ignorance by these writers who obviously are not trained judicial officers are aimed at either influencing or manipulating the Court process before the case now adjourned to March 7, is heard.

” We are reliably informed in the course of our investigations that some of these faceless social media writers are domiciled in a town called Enugwu-Agidi in Njikoka local government area of the state and had been contracted to play the role of ‘Fifth Columnist’ on the case for whatever reasons.

” Imagine that after the February 20, 2025 mention of the case, these Enugwu-Agidi based faceless writers who are naive not to pend their names to their writings went to town in an ignoble show of shame with the story that a sick Ozo Nweke who was brought to court in an ambulance from his sick bed in hospital was faking and ridiculing himself.

” But they forgot that the medical staff of the hospital where he was examined by qualified medical consultants also brought the result of their examination to substantiate his claim.

” Their action of a public jest of Ozo Jeff Nweke after the court proceeding of that day to us amounts to extrapolating the issue with an intent of causing public discontent and cast him in bad light before the court and discerning members of the watching public,” the statement said.

The statement further said that these social media writers failed to realize that courts are apolitical, temple of justice which dispense justice based on the fact before them without sentiments.

” That’s why the call for total restraints on this matter before the court because we believe that the court has the capacity and competence to look at issues before it dispassionately based on facts laid before it and arguments taken from both the prosecution and defense counsels.

” We also urge these faceless writers to realize that since the matter is before the court they should avoid doing things that may appear prejudicial.”
