Female Police Inpector stripped naked in Onitsha

We have all heard of several police characters harassing and embarrassing innocent citizens, in this case it dawned on the Nigerian Police as they got the flip side of their coin as an innocent female Inspector was publicly molested. Pandemonium was averted yesterday at Bridge Head, Onitsha, when Inspector Tochukwu Offoegbu, tasted the wrath of the public she served. Inpector Tochukwu was abused, molested and almost stripped naked by a dreaded wealthy man,  Ngozi Okpagu who allegedly slapped the Commissioner of Police last year.


An eye witness and a tout, who gave his name as Tunde, said Offoegbu was on duty when the ‘big man,’ who owns a park in Onitsha, approached her, allegedly telling her that he would facilitate her removal from Onitsha as he did to one Archibong.
He said the female police officer demanded to know what she did that would warrant her removal, so he gave her a slap for daring him. Also, his boys allegedly tore the female officer’s uniform, leaving her almost naked.
‘’She ran for her life into the Police post to avoid the peering eyes of the public before the Area Commander Benjamin Nwordu asked all of them to come to the area police station, Onitsha.
‘’That man cannot be arrested because last time he slapped the Commissioner of police because of park matters and so the governor closed the park and now, it is an Inspector. I fear,” said Tunde.
When contacted, the DPO Fegge, where Offoegbu works , Muikdi Shehu, said he would not speak on the matter, insisting that the PPRO is the only person authorized to speak.
The PPRO, Emeka Chukwuemeka, when contacted on phone said he was with the Onitsha Area Commander and would get back to this reporter on the issue.
CP Balah Nassarawa was said to be out of the state as at the time of going to the press.
Reacting, another eyewitness and Campaign for Democracy Coordinator, Dede Uzor A Uzor, demanded for the immediate arrest of the accused and thorough investigation into the matter with a view to punishing the offender to deter future occurrence.
CD gave the Commissioner of Police seven days to arrest the man or face human rights groups protest and call for his removal as that was the height of abuse of an officer on duty, particularly a woman. 
Anyhow shaa... Police remember "Citizens are still your friends..."
