Personnel of the Nigeria Police Force in the Awgu local government area of Enugu State have allegedly detained a nursing mother, Mrs Chinenye Nwachukwu and her three-month-old baby, in a cell for two days. This comes after two women reportedly attacked and beat her up in her house. The policemen led by one ASP Vincent Oke Ezea, also arrested and detained her husband, Mr Tochukwu Nwachukwu for three days after the wife and baby were released.
An Assistant Superintendent of Police in Nigeria, Oke Vincent, has been accused of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl at the police station. Vincent is serving at the Awgu Division of Enugu Command of the Nigerian Police Force. The police officer was also accused of extorting N114,000 from the family. The father of the victim, Mr. Godwin Utobo, who disclosed this in a petition to the state Commissioner of Police, which SaharaReporters obtained on Friday, said the assault happened on March 18, 2022.
