Description

Nollywood Actress, Ebere Ohakwe was assaulted by Sulaiman Olamilekan, a non-commissioned soldier in the Nigeria Army. On the 30th of January, Olamilekan allegedly assaulted Ohakwe at Omagwa checkpoint along Port Harcourt-Owerri road in Rivers. Ohakwe, who was in transit from Port Harcourt to Onitsha, claimed that she was assaulted by Olamilekan after he accused her of insulting him while inspecting the vehicle. The victim, who reportedly sustained bruises and was admitted in a hospital after the assault, accused the soldier of infringing on her fundamental human rights.
