RULAAC demands release of probe report on alleged police abuse of Abia family

…Seeks justice, compensation for victims

By Steve Oko

UMUAHIA — The Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre (RULAAC) has called on the Abia State Government to immediately release the report of its investigation into the alleged human rights violations involving the Chikadibia family, warning that continued silence could erode public confidence in the government’s commitment to justice and accountability.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by its Executive Director, Okechukwu Nwanguma, the rights group expressed concern that months after Governor Alex Otti ordered an investigation into the matter, neither the findings nor any remedial actions had been made public.

RULAAC recalled that it petitioned Governor Otti on March 6, 2026, seeking restorative justice, accountability and compensation for Mr. Sunday Chikadibia and his daughters—Glory, Ngozi and Ogechi—who allegedly suffered arbitrary arrest, detention, prosecution and the demolition of their family home during a police operation in Alaukwu, Osisioma Ngwa Local Government Area, on April 12, 2025.
