The Inspector-General of Police sued Nnamdi as the sole defendant in the charge marked FHC/ABJ/CR/130/2023. According to the amended charge filed on April 17, the police alleged that on March 13, Chude Nnamdi knowingly and intentionally sent a message through a tweet from his Twitter handle “Chude” by means of a computer system and network.
Recall that some weeks ago Chude was released from police custody after spending six days.
On March 18, Chude was arrested by the police in Anambra state and taken to Abuja, the country’s capital.

Nnamdi’s arrest elicited criticism on social media with some Twitter users claiming he was apprehended over an alleged petition written by Chukwuma Soludo, the Anambra governor.
However, Soludo denied involvement in the matter, saying the state government gave no such directive.
