Mrs. Anyabelechi
According to statements released by the police, one mrs. Ayalebechi, who hails from Umukabi Okpalla in Ngor Okpalla Local Government Area, was returning from a Church crusade on the unfortunate day. She decided to locate her brother’s residence at World Bank , Umuguma in Owerri Local Government Area of the state, but was unable to locate the place before it became so dark that she could not safely return home.
It was gathered that she decided to take refuge at the police station believing that the place was save for her to pass the night. As she approached the police station, she saw two officers and begged them to allow her to pass the night at the police station because she could not continue the search for her brother’s house. After her explanation, one of the police officers, Chigozie Odenigbo, offered to assist her. He offered to take her to a room where mosquitoes would not bite her and her seven month old baby. But the story changed soon after, according to Mrs. Ayalebechi.
“I thanked him and followed him immediately. But to my surprise, I was hit from behind by the police officer and before I knew what was happening, he flung my baby away and continued beat me. “I became weak as a result of the beating and he held my neck and mouth to stop me from shouting before he raped me,” she narrated.
According to her after the police corporal was done with her, he helped her to pick up her baby before leading them back to the station.“When we got back, the lady police officer who was at the station when the corporal took me away was shocked to notice how tattered I was and tried to find out what happened. But the police corporal tried to deceive her by denying what he had done.” Mrs. Ayalebechi managed to get the name of the police corporal and waited patiently until the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) got to the office in the morning.
It was learnt that after laying her complainant, the shocked DPO ordered the detention of Corporal Odenigbo after investigating Mrs. Anyabelechi’s claim. Commenting on the case, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Vitalis Onugu, said that “the accused police corporal is undergoing administrative trial, adding that if he is found culpable, he will be dismissed.”
