Enugu,Police

Enugu State Commissioner of Police, CP Mr Kanayo Uzuegbu has been dragged to the Federal High Court, Enugu Division, over alleged unlawful arrest and torture of five indigenes of the state. Four different suits were filed on Wednesday by the applicants. They include: Prince Reginald Nwoye, Ifeanyi Ngene, Charles Ugwu and Sunday Egbo.

They are all accusing the police commissioner, as well as CSP Chidera Ijeoma and SP Chidolue Ekeleme of violating their rights.

“That in response to the petition, the police team from the Inspector General of Police arrived at the scene sometimes in March, 2024 and some of the unknown gunmen and hoodlums escaped from being arrested; but the police arrested five of the hoodlums and recovered four guns which have Etiti-Ngwo inscribed on them; and upon enquiries, police discovered that it was the Etiti-Ngwo people that provided the guns that the unknown gunmen were using to terrorize the area.
