Gwamnishu, whom the petitioners described as a “self-acclaimed human rights activist” and the Director General of BehindG Bars Human Rights Foundation, was accused of defrauding an Indonesia-based Nigerian businessman, Nnaji Franklin Ifeanyi, of N6million in pretence to help him recover his land in Owerri, Imo State.
Surprisingly, immediately Tony arrived at Owerri, he demanded money for mobilisation, hotel and other things from Nnaji but he made it clear to Tony that he didn't know him and asked him to contact Gwamnishu for any money he needed for the work because he had paid for everything. The land seller started refunding the money through the police and made an initial refund of N2 million and another N3 million, making a total of N5 million, but out of the N5 million, Tony transferred only N4.2 million to Nnaji and when he asked why, Tony explained that the police took 10% amounting to N500,000 while he himself took another N300,000 which made Nnaji to raise objections.
But Gwamnishu claimed that he had returned the money to the police through Tony to be returned to the land seller, but Nnaji said that"Tony was mad when I asked him such question. Tony didn’t even know I returned the money to Harrison", adding that Tony had been calling Gwamnishu to ask him why he lied with his name but he had refused to answer his calls till date.
The petitioners said that Gwamnishu had been persistent in"this objectionable behaviour having been habitually involved in this type of criminal activity of obtaining money from people under the false pretense of offering them human rights assistance.
