Okoye was arrested over the allegation of engaging in same-sex activities and molesting young boys in the community.
According to The Punch, Okoye was arrested after the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Welfare was informed of his activities, as disclosed by the commission, Ify Obinabo, in a statement signed by her media aide, Chidinma Ikeanyionwu.
Ikeanyionwu further revealed that Chief Chikadibia Okeke, the President-General of the Isuofia People’s Assembly, reported the incident to the ministry.
Following his arrest, Okoye was handed over to the police for further interrogation and he will be charged with court after that.
The statement reads in part:
She narrated that the commissioner ordered the arrest of the suspect after he was caught having homosexual acts with several boys and young men in the community over the weekend.
According to her, the suspect earlier denied the allegation but later “revealed that he had at some point romanced some of the boys, held their sexual organs but never penetrated them as they alleged.”
