Last week, Chioma, wife of former Imo State Governor Ikedi Ohakim, clocked 60. Ohakim made sure to celebrate the woman who stood by him through thick and thin and did not leave him even at the height of his illicit affair with Abuja-based businesswoman, Chinyere Amuchienwa, a 59-year-old divorcee, which was fodder for the media.
Chioma, a barrister at law began the celebration of her birthday with a photo shoot at their Abuja home, with ace photographer George Okoro manipulating the lens to capture the joy that the mother of five radiated at turning a new age. A get-together was later organised where close friends and family gathered to celebrate her.
The ceremony was deliberately kept low-key as the family were only just getting their groove back after an attempt was made to assassinate them on January 2, 2023 at Oriagu in Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo state. Luckily, Ohakim and two of his children who were with him in his convoy escaped unscathed, but not his four police orderlies whose lives were snuffed out by the gunmen.
