Police snatches married woman, detains her son for kicking against their relationship

Drama as a 22-year-old man identified as Mr. Chukwunonso Ikenna Ogbukagu has been allegedly handcuffed and detained by a serving policeman identified as ASP Danladi Edibo, attached to the anti-cult unit in Enugwu-Ukwu, Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State for disapproving his relationship with his mother, Mrs. Ogbukagu.

This was revealed by the detained 22-year-old man, Chukwunonso after he escaped from the unlawful detention.

Chukwunonso said he visited Nimo, a town in Njikoka LGA to see his mother who recently left his dad to rent a separate house, but noticed that the mother had a male friend who always visited her in the apartment.

“When I demanded from my mother who the man was, I found out it was the same police officer, ASP Danladi who had a problem with my father, who also caused my parents to separate.

“The man knowing that I had noticed who he was now called some policemen who came with guns and handcuffed me and detained me in a toilet in the apartment. I stayed there for four days without food or water, and later I realized that I may die if I continue to be here, so I summoned courage and escaped.”

He begged the State police command to come to his aid, as his life was in danger, as the Edibo may come after him.

However, Chief Ikenna Ogbukagu who is the father of the victim has petitioned the Anambra State Police Commissioner, CP Monday Bala Kuryas, called for the restraint of ASP Edibo from further harassing him and members of his family.

Chief Ikenna in an interview he granted newsmen stated that “ASP Danladi Edibo has been harassing me and members of my family. He collected my wife from me, and I said I have no problem with that, that he can keep her. He has taken her, and rented a house for her in Nimo, and I did not protest, yet he has been threatening me.

“Last year, he came to my house at about 1am with police officers, destroyed my doors and arrested me, saying that I sponsor cultists. There is nothing he has not done to me. I am very afraid for my life now, that is why I petitioned the commissioner to come to my aid.”

When contacted, the police public relations officer in the state, CSP Haruna Mohammed said the petition was receiving attention, saying that it may not be right to pre-empt it.
