Social media influencer Reno Omokri is currently on the run after the Nigeria Police Force obtained an order from the Chief Magistrate Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Wuse Zone 6, Abuja, to remand him in prison for alleged defamation of Pastor Paul Enenche.
It appears only Reno Omokri has not been caught by the Nigerian Police, who have remanded the others listed in the court order, such as former Dunamis Church Pastor Abraham Daniel and two others, Enenche Enenche and Alexander Enenche.
Chief Emmanuel A. Iyanna issued the remand warrant through an ex parte motion filed by the Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun on January 13, 2025.
Granting the ex-parte application filed by Francis Gabriel, Esq on behalf of the Police Chief, in Motion No: ME/07/2025 Between Inspector General of Police as Applicant and Mr. Daniel Abraham, Mr. Enenche Idoga Alexander, Oboyinlo Enenche Peter and Mr. Reno Omokri as 1st to 4th Respondents, the Chief Magistrate directed the Police to produce the Respondents on return Court date on January 30.
Iyanna held: “Upon hearing the application and submissions of learned FRANCIS GABRIEL, ESQ, and upon careful consideration of the averments, the annextures and issues as raised in the submissions of the applicant. The application is hereby granted as prayed.
“It Is hereby ordered as follows: An Order of this Honourable Court for remand warrant of the Respondents (i) MR. DANIEL ABRAHAM (ii) MR. ENENCHE IDOGA ALEXANDER (iii) OBOYINLO ENENCHE PETER and (iv) MR. RENO OMOKRI in the custody of the Nigeria Correctional Service pending investigation, arraignment/prosecution.
“It is here ordered that the Respondents be arraigned before a Court of competent jurisdiction after the conclusion of the said investigation.
“On the return date, the Respondents should be produced.
“The matter is adjourned to 30 Day of January, 2025.”
According to a source, who said that prosecution of Abraham Daniel was the result of his resignation from the Dunamis church. He served diligently during his time as a pastor and his congregation grew. But after a misunderstanding with the lead pastor, Paul Enenche, he decided to leave the church.
The source continued: “His resignation was met with stiff opposition from Pastor Enenche, who tried to lure and cracked his family. Hence, his wife insisted he return back to Dunamis Church. This disagreement eventually led to their divorce.
“Shortly after leaving the church, he started receiving random threats, through calls and social media messages. On a fateful day, he was under heavy threat until he eventually had an accident that turned his car a scrap uneconomic to repair.
“He sent his location to the callers, who met him at the accident scene. The men on mufti, alongside one Barr. Abbass, all pleaded with the owner of the car. After that incident, he entered their car and they left.
“He later got to know that the men on mufti were police officers. He was taken to the Karu Police Station, where the DPO informed him that the arrest was at the instance of Pastor Paul Enenche.
“The DPO advised that he go and apologise. He tried calling Pastor Paul Enenche, but he never picked nor returned the call. He was transferred to Kubwa Division.
“After several back and forth, one Emmason called him, saying one Pst. Stanley wants to intervene in the dispute between them. He met with the Pastor Stanley at the FCID. Thereafter the officers told him to delete his Facebook page. He told them that since he is on the side on peace, he would delete it on ground that they replace his car that he lost during the arrest.”
According to the source, the parties both Abraham and Paul Enenche “agreed on those terms orally, and he deleted the Facebook page.”
However, the source said it was not the end of the issue.
The source said, “After deleting it, Pastor Enenche reneged on the gentleman agreement and gave him just about N200,000.00. He was so disappointed on the unilateral breach of the gentleman agreement by Pastor Paul Enenche.
“Around 3rd January, 2025, the Force Intelligence Department (FID) invited him for an interview on 7th January, 2025 on allegations bordering on cyber-bullying, criminal defamation, injurious falsehood/giving false information and inciting public nuisance.
“During the period of his arrest, he was shown some WhatsApp chats to confirm if they emanated from the him or were shared by him.
“The first borders on chats showing a dilapidated house of their only surviving aunt and calling for a better/decent accommodation for her. The second was picture of the Deborah Enenche with tattoos on her body, and asking the propriety of a pastor’s daughter with tattoo marks, etc.
“He informed the officer that he cannot recall the source of the chats, but in any case, they are all correct, as per their content.
“He was asked to apologise to Paul Enenche and pull down all the posts/publications before their next invitation date, being 13th January, 2025.
“On the said day, 13th January, 2025, he honoured the police Invitation. He was again detained.”
