Business tycoon and CEO of Five Star, Emeka Okonkwo, also known as E-money, has announced the arrest of a man who falsely accused him of having affair with the wife of the late actor, Junior Pope.
Last weekend, E-money denied allegations made by some social media users that he was involved in Junior Pope’s death due to his alleged affair with the late actor’s wife, Jennifer Awele.
The businessmam described these accusations as disrespectful to the deceased and hurtful to the grieving family.
He asked the public to help the authorities with information to find those responsible for spreading these rumors.
E-Money expressed his commitment to identifying and holding accountable those making the false accusations.
With the help of the police, E-money soon managed to apprehend one of the key instigator of these claims.
The accuser had alleged that E-money was involved with Junior Pope’s wife and suggested that the late actor was suspicious of his wife’s activities even while he was alive.
The man also claimed that E-money’s promise to support Pope’s children was because of his supposed affair with Jennifer Awele.
In a video, the suspect harshly criticized E-money and his associates, accusing them of orchestrating Junior Pope’s death to allow him to pursue a relationship with Jennifer.
Taking to his Instagram page on Thursday, E-Money announced the suspect’s arrest with a video of him making the allegations.
He wrote, “I’m relieved to share that one of the individuals responsible for the character assassination against me has been apprehended by the Nigeria Police Force and will face prosecution.
