RULAAC raises alarm over disappearance of lady arrested in place of fleeing brother

The Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre, RULAAC, has expressed concern over the disappearance of Ms. Nwosu Chikamso Jennifer, who was arrested by Rapid Response Squad, RRS, Awkuzu, in Anambra State. Ms. Nwosu was apprehended after her brother fled to avoid arrest on charges of crime. She was granted bail for N600,000, but the Anambra State Police Command denied admitting her to bail for that sum.

RULAAC's Executive Director, Mr Okechukwu Nwanguma, claims to have evidence of Ms. Nwosu making the payment before her release. However, the rights group now alleges that Ms. Nwosu has disappeared after informing them that she planned to return to the police station as requested by the investigating officer. She reportedly feared detention or further demands for money and sought RULAAC's intervention.

Since then, RULAAC has been unable to contact Ms. Nwosu, despite multiple attempts. The group's statement claims that a police commissioner stated that Ms. Nwosu had "betrayed" the police by reporting the matter to RULAAC. RULAAC urges the Anambra State Police Command to clarify Ms. Nwosu's status and whereabouts, guaranteeing that she will not face any reprisals for seeking assistance. The group will escalate the matter if her whereabouts and legal status remain unresolved.
