Justice Ngozi Orji of the Enugu State High Court has fixed Tuesday, December 12, to rule on the bail application of Ikechukwu Uduji and his boss, Ikechukwu Okolie, who were remanded in prison custody for petitioning against the Divisional Police Officer in-charge of Awgu Police Division, CSP Benjamin Ugwui for extortion and demanding for refund.
Policemen working with the Divisional Police Officer, Awgu Police Division, CSP Benjamin Ugwui, have reportedly brutalised and broken the hand of Ikechukwu Uduji, a man who was arraigned with his boss, Ikechukwu Okolie, on a trumped-up charge of attempted murder. Pictures of the police attack on both Uduji and Okolie which SaharaReporters obtained on Wednesday, showed the broken left hand of Uduji at the prison custody in Enugu State.
One Mr Ikechukwu Okolie, who accused Awgu Divisional Police Officer CSP Benjamin Ugwui and one SP Kelvin Ugwu of illegally detaining and extorting him of N91,000 had been arrested and charged with attempted murder by the same officers and remanded in prison. SaharaReporters had reported that Okolie accused the Enugu Police Divisional Officer of extorting him for daring to seek justice against an operator of a Point of Sale (POS) machine whom his station failed to investigate over alleged N300,000 theft.
