Chinedu Ifedigbo is the Nigerian man deported from Kenya by the authorities based on unsubstantiated charges that he is a drug dealer. He was married to a Kenyan woman Joyce Akinyi and their salacious divorce captivated the Kenyan media as Joyce was caught having an affair with a Kenya high placed government official. Chinedu had a bitter legal battle as his ex-wife attempted to collect all their assets which was valued to be around five million US dollars. Recently,the internet was awash with news that an unnamed witness came out to claim that Chinedu is a drug dealer.I am not putting up a defense for or against Chinedu or anybody else for that matter,the identity of this witness is suspect. For instance, He claims he works for an International Organization in Kenya yet his written English is suspect. May we know what he works for this Organization as? Every man has his friends and foes. You really do not know them all until the situation arises. To start with, what was the status of Chinedu in Kenya given that he was once married to a Kenyan? Was there a prima facie case against him and if so was he actually tried before deportation. The claim of the witness that Chinedu had been deported severally in the past only to return under false names is nothing but blatant lies.It does not make sense at all.If that was the case, the Kenyan Government would have jailed him for forgery, impersonation and illegal entry. Considering his status, i do not think it would have been difficult to smoke him out. This account was written in bad faith and should be ignored by reasonable minds.The so called witness doesn't have a name. Chinedu have a pending case in court with Kenya police, why don't the police wait for the law to take its cause before bundling Chinedu into a chartered flight and deported him back to Nigeria. Anyway, the chartered flight has been grounded here in Nigeria till further notice. The eyewitness account is below and i have also attached a you tube clip of an interview that Chinedu granted to a Kenyan TV recently after the so called witness statement.
See the account of the Eye witness below:
Mr Anthony Chinedu Ifedigbo, a Nigerian businessman who recently claims his Kenyan wife plots his deportation in order to inherit his properties might have some skeletons in his cupboard. If you missed the exclusive interview, read it here. Several Nigerians living in Kenya have accused him of being a drug dealer. Hear what a Nigerian living in Kenya who has been following the case closely said about him;
I think Chinedu is lying,I am a Nigerian citizen working with one international organization in Kenya. I have been living and working in Kenya for the past 8 years and I know much about Chinedu case, the guy is one of the don in the drug world. He has been having series of cases with Kenya government in the area of drug issues,thou he has issues with his Kenya wife which they are both in drug business together. In fact in 2008, his ex-wife and the politician boyfriend were arrested in India with drug related issue, later we find out that it was Chinedu that set them up in India. To be sincere it’s a pity that many of our guys are spoiling our image in foreign land,they are doing all sorts of illegal business like drugs and credit card scam. This is the guy that have used the drug money to have a large investment that runs to billions of Naira in Kenya. Talking about not getting support from the Nigerian embassy in Kenya, the new Nigerian ambassador is a good diplomatic man who doesn’t follow his predecessor whom we all know that he used to support this baron guys. Our image in Kenya is so bad to the extend that they look at all of us a drug baron or 419. Take for instance one of Chinedu boys Adebiyi Fatai was arrested with large number of heroin at a night club and was traced to Chinedu. If you want a reference you can check online one of the Kenya newspaper called the star of May 4 2013, you will see where the case of Fatai and Chinedu case was exposed.
To put another information to my fellow Nigeria, it’s not only Chinedu and Nigerian that was deported, they deported Ghanian, Cameronian, Congloese and a Guinea man. Lastly, every sovereign nations has power to deport whom ever they find that want to jeopardize their national security. This is not the first time Chinedu has been deported in Kenya but always find his way back to Kenya through a forged name and through a neighboring country.
Our image is so bad outside the country and our people are no helping the matter either, the only thing that is changing our image now is music, movie and our cultural activities like clothing. Chinedu should stop complaining and carry his own cross.
