P-G of the Isuofia People’s Assembly revealed that they caught Okoye over the weekend having sexual relationships with lots of boys and young men and swiftly put a call through to the Commissioner for Women Affairs, who instructed them to apprehend him instantly.

“When interrogated, the suspect, a native of Okpoko village, Isuofia, and a retired teacher, who earlier denied the same-sex allegations on the basis that it was his haters at work, later disclosed that he had at some point romanced some of the boys, held their sexual organs, but never penetrated them as they claimed.
