Mother's request for intervension
My name is Patricia Ibeabuchi a registered nurse. I am the mother of a young man by the name Ike Ibeabuchi Both Ike and my self are originally from Nigeria in Africa- I have been in United States since 1990 and my son joined me here in 1993. I am writing this letter, in hopes that I might receive your assistance in some way regarding the situation with my son Ike that I am about to reveal to you in this letter.
Ike and mum
When Ike began to show impressive undefeated in his boxing career
and one of the world’s most promising heavyweights, a brother, Jack Web
in our church, felt compelled to suggest that, because Ike’s father is
still in Nigeria, that I quit my nursing job to stay by Ike’s side. He
said because boxing has a reputation for being corrupt, manipulative and
very shady in it’s dealings such as bribery, drugs and false
accusations. It’s a pretty well known fact that a lot of the managers
and promoters have been involved in these behaviors and have sometimes
resorted to use some of these tactics in obtaining what they want.
In June 1999 their was Nigerian annual festival in New Jersey
whereby the President of the Association invited Ike and the mayor of
the city and alter the festival, Ike learnt there was a fight in Las
Vegas, Nevada. Upon learning of this, Ike decided to fly to Las Vegas to
watch the fight and speak with the representatives from HBO concerning
his own boxing career.
At this time Cedric was hounding Ike to renew his contract with
him, Ike informed Cedric that he needed to shop around to have better
understanding what his worth is and if he matches it, that he will
continue with him. Cedric was not happy about this because he knew that
he had been under-paying Ike while other promoters and managers are
highly interested in Ike due to his promising boxing career. Managers
and promoters don’t want boxers to negotiate deals, they want to be the
one to do all the negotiations so that their underhanded deals will not
be known by any other than themselves. Because of these dealers and
their methods, we had to leave Dallas Texas and moved to Arizona to seek
refuge from them. Unfortunately, they followed us to this State and the
nightmare continued. They tapped our phones, forced themselves inside
our Gilbert home, they put chemicals in all of our food and drinks, and
they will disengage our house alarm and enter our home at anytime of the
day of night. The (Gilbert police have several records of our calls and
reports concerning this matter. These promoters went so far as to fly
and bring false charges against Ike in Gilbert and Scottsdale while he
lives with me in the same house, by paying a couple of women to accuse
him of attempted kidnapping and sexual assault. The police investigated
these charges and threw them out because there was no basis for these
charges against him. Since they did not achieve their aim here they
followed him to Las Vegas and repeated the same charges which has kept
Ike in jail for six and half years. This time in Las Vegas the charges
are sexual assault, kidnapping and attempted to kill to intensify the
charges against him this time.
At this time of false imprisonment, Ike has been forced
medications, accused of mentally insane. and has not been given good
attorney representation. Therefore, Ike has never really been tried or
convicted of these false accusations or charges, but nevertheless, he
has lost six and half years of his young life. The Las Vegas coat sent
Ike to Reno mental hospital for evaluation, but before his arrival the
staffs have been informed that Ike was dangerous, crazy and many other
suggestions that made the staffs apprehensive to his arrival. Upon Ike’s
arrival at the hospital, the staffs found that these statements were
not even close to being truth rather they found Ike to be peaceable,
respectful, loving and cooperative. When the Las Vegas court ordered to
medicate Ike by Dr. Bittker who supposed to monitor the effect of the
medication, he traveled out of the county and Dr. Henson started forcing
medications on Ike, as a registered nurse I called Dr. Henson why he is
medicating Ike, and if Ike was his son, as a license physician will he
medicate him? since he is not mentally insane, he said that Las Vegas
court asked him to, I asked him if court ask him to kill will he kill as
a license physician? so I reported this to the Medical board in Nevada.
Finally Ike was intimidated, drugged out and with the effect of the
drug dragged into the court to plead guilty by the Las Vegas public
defender for alleged criminal offence he did not commit.
The judge knew about the drug Ike was given before court hearing
because Ike told the judge that he was forced medication and he can’t
reason properly but the judge ignored him. Today Ike, my son sits
mercilessly in prison at the prime of his life, wasting! What did he do?
There was recent involvement of Honorable senator John McCain into
the corruptions in the boxing business which supports what I am saying.
In December 1999 Ike was kept in house arrest then Top Rank visited him
to sign a promotional contract with Ike, Ike agreed but the terms both
agreed upon was changed, well, he refused to signed Top Rank even
promised to get him out and had already included his name in Delahoya’s
fighting cart that year, if he had signed that cheating contract, but
when It didn’t happen he was throne back to jail the next day. Since
then different promoters and managers have promised to get him out if he
agrees to sign contract with them. All these means that evil is behind
this whole thing.
I am appealing to the public, Ike’s fans, relatives, friends and
fellow country men and women, sisters and brothers in the Lord,
qualified lawyers and human rights movement to please assist me in anyway possible to get my son released to
live his life here in Arizona as a free young man. Feel free to check
out any and all of my statements regarding this situation. I have many
more actual details to share with you concerning all of this and would
like an opportunity to do so. I feel as if we are abandoned, neglected
and ignored abused and violated since our names and business (Missionary
Home Health and Staffing Inc.) are known to every charity organization
in United State for donations and supports. such as Veterans Of Foreign
Wars Of The United States, Paralyzed Veterans Of America, Americans For
Immigration Control, Inc.. National Police & Trooper Association,
Metro Ministries In New York (kids that lost their parents during 9-11)
Marilyn Hickey Ministries, Trinity Broadcasting Network, Operation Smile
by Cindy McCain, American Red Cross in Washington, DC for Hurricane
Katrina, Covenant House in NY.. Active supporter of Arizona State
Fraternal Order Of Police and many more But Ike my son financed this
business for the family and to help those in need, is going through this
punishment, and no body is doing anything to stop this evil.
I have lived in United States since 1990 working as RN and filed my
taxes, never received food stamps or disability finds, rather I have
used my two hands God gave me to make my living, even have managed
Missionary Home Health and Staffing Inc. from 2001 till date and have
filed all the taxes as required. But I have filed for my Green card to
become a resident here since it is due unto me, rather my papers keep on
missing and one of the immigration lawyers said that, quote “This is
internal, I can not deal with this” then he sent me to Senator McCain’s
office for help. The immigration managed to call me for an interview
never found anything illegal, or fault, still they are threatening to
send me back to Africa. Who is behind this? those that thinks that I am
on their way to my son Ike, kept on hiding my immigration file so that
it could not be processed accordingly.
Furthermore, discrimination, hate, abuse and violation of human
right that my son and I are facing in this country is wrong because we
do not know what caused it how it started in this country we came to
seek American dream and in our country, we treat every body with love
and help when necessary.
In my country people go to jail when they committed serious crimes
not accusations with no proof of evidence, or because of race,
appearance, color or country of origin and career as in Ike’s case.
Muhammad Ali was out for 3 years for avoiding drafting. Mike Tyson was convicted for rape and was out in 3 years
Ike Ibeabuchi has served 7 years for mere accusations, WHY?

I appreciate your consideration in this matter
Sincerely yours
Patricia N. Ibeabuchi.
Now here's a different version of what happened from his Wikipedia page
In July 1999, Ibeabuchi was staying at The Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas when he phoned a local escort service and had a woman sent to his room.
The 21-year-old woman said she was there to strip and nothing else. She claimed he attacked her in the walk-in closet after she demanded to be paid up front.
"He invites her up to his room and begins to get physical with her," said Christopher Lalli, a Clark County chief deputy district attorney. It got loud enough that people in the adjoining room notified hotel security.
"When they enter the room," Lalli said, "a woman, naked from the waist down, is running toward them."
Ibeabuchi barricaded himself in the bathroom, and police discharged pepper spray under the door to coax his surrender. Ike's defense faced the further difficulty of the Clark County DA's reopening of a similar sexual assault allegation from eight months earlier that took place next door to The Mirage, at sister-property Treasure Island Hotel and Casino.
He was released on bail and placed on house arrest—able to train and fight again until his trial—but he was remanded after two more sexual-assault allegations surfaced in Arizona.
"The troubling thing for us was this was not an isolated incident," Lalli says.
Lalli says the case against Ike's crimes at The Mirage was solid. There was physical evidence, eyewitness testimony, a pattern of unacceptable behavior.
"It was evidence you don't have nine times out of 10 in these cases when you go to trial," Lalli said.
Ibeabuchi was deemed incompetent to stand trial and was sent to a state facility for the mentally ill. Medical experts concluded he exhibited bipolar disorder, and a judge granted permission to force-medicate him. Eight months later, 2½ years after his arrest, he was ruled cogent enough to plea.
He entered an Alford plea, conceding the prosecution had enough evidence to convict him while not admitting guilt. Had he gone to trial and been found guilty of rape, he could have received 10 years to life in prison, but instead he got two to 10 years for battery with intent to commit a crime and three to 20 years for attempted sexual assault, to be served consecutively.
Ibeabuchi was paroled on the first charge in 2001 and has been denied parole on the second charge three times. He was denied parole in August 2004, in August 2007, in February 2009 and on May 1, 2012. He is not eligible for another hearing until May 2013, at which time he will be 39. Ike also faces likely deportation.
"We felt confident he was going to spend a good chunk of time in prison and then get kicked out of the country," Lalli said.
Since his incarceration, Ike has earned two college degrees from Western Nevada Community College: an Associate of General Studies and an Associate of Applied Science in General Business
