Woman, 28, raises alarm over husband’s disappearance in Police cell
Twenty–eight–year–old Ebere Okonkwo, has raised the alarm over the disappearance of her husband, Dubuem Okonkwo, from the custody of the Police in Anambra State.
Her husband who is a member of the Tricycle Owners Association of Nigeria, TOAN Awka branch, Anambra State, was arrested at Unizik junction park, on March 15, 2022, over an undisclosed offence.
She stated that he was thereafter, paraded by the Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Police Command, CP Echen Echen, at Command Headquarters Awka, without any explanation by the command of his offence.
Apprehension, according to her, set in, as she could no longer reach her 48-year-old husband after the parade. The mother of one, therefore, called on the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Alkali Baba, the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Pauline Tallen and other concerned Nigerians to prevail on CP Echen to disclose the whereabouts of her husband.
According to her: “ Since his disappearance, we have been referred from one Police formation to another. I don’t know the crime he has committed. I should have the right to see him and at least hear from him. If the Police have killed him, they should let the family and at least give his body to us for burial since they feel we are nobody.
