Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ballah
Nasarawa, yesterday, arrested the businessman that
allegedly molested and stripped naked a female police
officer (names withheld).
The suspect, whose identity was withheld by the police,
was, however, released on bail immediately after visiting
some important offices at state police headquarters,
Awka.
Police authorities, however, admitted that the incident
occurred as a result of amorous advances allegedly made
by the businessman to the police female officer that
created the scene, saying that nobody was actually
stripped naked.
Pandemonium had erupted at Bridge Head, Onitsha,
weekend, when the female police officer was allegedly
molested by the wealthy suspect, who was said to have
allegedly slapped a top police officer last year.
Police statement
The statement from Mr. Emeka Chukwuemeka, Police
Public Relations Officer read: “At no point was the female
officer attached to Divisional Police Headquarters, Fegge,
Onitsha, and posted to Head Bridge, Onitsha, where she
was stripped naked by the so-called big man.
“The said police officer continuously refused ceaseless
amorous advances made to her by the so-called big man,
who promised to teach her the lesson of her life for
daring to say no.
“The man in question, a stark illiterate, and a tout, who
manages one of the parks in Onitsha, on sighting the
officer in her duty post, alighted from his car and held
her uniform.
“This drew the ire of other policemen on duty, who made
efforts to arrest him before he quickly disappeared from
the scene.
“The other story that he once assaulted a commissioner of
police in the state is baseless, unfounded and contains no
iota of truth and the Anambra Police Command has
arrested the so-called ‘big man.’
“He is currently in our custody, while investigation into
the matter is ongoing.”
CD’s ultimatum
On an ultimatum to the police by Campaign for
Democracy, CD, Coordinator, Dede Uzor, to arrest and
prosecute the businessman before seven days, the police
spokesperson Chukwuemeka said: “CD has no business
giving the police ultimatum as police is a responsible
organisation that knows which action to take at any given
situation.”
Meanwhile, the female police officer is being taunted by
colleagues for speaking to the press on the issue, saying
she had reduced their esteem by her action.
