SHOCKER!!!An Unknown wealthy man abused,
molested and stripped a female police naked,he also slapped the commissioner of
police!!!
Pandemonium
was averted yesterday at Bridge Head, Onitsha, when a female police officer,
Inspector Tochukwu Offoegbu, was abused, molested and almost stripped naked by
a dreaded wealthy man, (name withheld) who allegedly slapped the Commissioner
of Police last year.
An
eye witness and a tout, who gave his name as Tunde, said Offoegbu was on duty
when the ‘big man,’ who owns a park in Onitsha, approached her, allegedly
telling her that he would facilitate her removal from Onitsha as he did to one
Archibong.
He
said the female police officer demanded to know what she did that would warrant
her removal, so he gave her a slap for daring him. Also, his boys allegedly
tore the female officer’s uniform, leaving her almost naked.
‘’She
ran for her life into the Police post to avoid the peering eyes of the public
before the Area Commander Benjamin Nwordu asked all of them to come to the area
police station, Onitsha.
‘’That
man cannot be arrested because last time he slapped the Commissioner of police
because of park matters and so the governor closed the park and now, it is an
Inspector. I fear,” said Tunde.
When
contacted, the DPO Fegge, where Offoegbu works , Muikdi Shehu, said he would
not speak on the matter, insisting that the PPRO is the only person authorized
to speak.
The
PPRO, Emeka Chukwuemeka, when contacted on phone said he was with the Onitsha
Area Commander and would get back to this reporter on the issue.
CP
Balah Nassarawa was said to be out of the state as at the time of going to the
press.
Reacting,
another eyewitness and Campaign for Democracy Coordinator, Dede Uzor A Uzor,
demanded for the immediate arrest of the accused and thorough investigation
into the matter with a view to punishing the offender to deter future
occurrence.
CD
gave the Commissioner of Police seven days to arrest the man or face human
rights groups protest and call for his removal as that was the height of abuse
of an officer on duty, particularly a woman.
