Anambra State Police Command has arrested one Ozo Nweke, who allegedly sponsored a nude women protest in Awka in the state.
According to The PUNCH, this was made known by the state Commissioner of Police, CP Aderemi Adeoye, while speaking with journalists on Monday, noting that Nweke was arrested in Abuja.
The protesters, including men and women from Enugwu-Agidi in Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State, had last Tuesday protested in Awka against incessant cult-related killings in their community where they also accused two police officers of aiding and abetting criminals in the area.
However, three days after, another group from the community, in a counter-protest round the police headquarters in Awka, accused Nweke, of land grabbing, intimidation, harassment, and rape.
The CP said, “We arrested him to face prosecution. Nweke and operatives of his company have been charged to court in three different cases, one at the Federal High Court and two at the State High Court.
“He has two cases at the Federal High Court and one at the Magistrates’ Court. So, we arrested him to answer his charges.
“These are the background details to his current media campaign of blackmail against DCP Akin Fakorede and the State CID, Awka whom he is accusing of corruption ostensibly for not siding with his criminal escapades.”
