A 47-year-old woman, Mrs. Dim Ebere, who was accused of flogging a 12-year-old pupil to death in Adazi-Ani, Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State, has surrendered to the police.
Ebere reportedly turned herself in at the Neni Police Station in the local government area following a sustained manhunt by operatives of the Anambra State Police Command’s Safe School Protection Squad and officers of the Neni Divisional Police Headquarters.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Anambra State, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the development, saying the suspect voluntarily presented herself and is currently in police custody.
Ikenga said Ebere would be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Awka, where further investigation into the incident is ongoing.
