*Attention:*
Please I wish to draw the attention of Police Heads in this forum of the Criminal activities and extortion of Divisional Police Officer of ‘B’ Divison Awka opposite Secretariat Complex Awka Anambra State.
The DPO and some officers of His Divison have turned B Divison Awka into Market Station, cash and carry.
The DPO and his team harasses and arrest innocent Citizens most especially around Aroma Axis and Extort money as bail from them.
Latest of this was what happened on 7th July, 2023. As many Residents were on the way home as at 8:30pm. The DPO and his team came to Aroma and started arresting innocent residents. Even those who have already entered Keke to go home were arrested and taken to B Divison.
At the Station, they were asked to pay N20,000.00 so that they will be released. Those who couldn’t pay, slept at the Station till the next day. This arrest came when there was no official restriction of movement in the state or Curfew of any sort. Some were released when calls were put to some senior Police Officers from Higher places.
This act has been going on for sometime at the Station. I am not alleging. I am stating the fact that is happening at the Station and what the DPO has been doing to innocent residents of that axis. If you come to Aroma junction by Peez Supermarket, the whole place look deserted once it is 8pm because residents are afraid of being arrested and taken to B Divison for no just cause.
The Attention of Inspector General of Police, Anambra State Commissioner of Police and all relevant bodies in Nigeria Police force is needed at B Divison. The extortion is becoming annoying and unbearable at this very hard conditions of the country.
Like I said, I am not alleging. This is real truth of what is going on at the Aroma Junction spot. I am ready to present 4 victims of this extortions who paid N20,000.00 each on Saturday morning being 8th July so that they can regain their freedom. Anywhere I am called for this, I am ready to give the details. One of my friends, who is the owner of Studio 24 is already taking a legal action for illegal detention by the DPO.
My name is Paschal Candle.
