Anambra State Police Command Spokesperson, SP Tochukwu Ikenga.
The Anambra State Police Command has denied reports alleging that it demanded ₦600,000 from the sister of a wanted suspect in exchange for her release, insisting that the woman, identified as Ms Nwosu Chikamso Jennifer, was arrested in connection with an ongoing investigation into cult-related killings in Awka.
The command, in a statement issued on Monday by its Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, described the allegations as misleading.
Ikenga added that the clarification became necessary following an online publication based on a letter reportedly written by the Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre and signed by its Executive Director, Okechukwu Nwanguma.
He said Jennifer was granted bail in accordance with established police procedures after undertaking to cooperate with investigators and assist in efforts to locate and apprehend her brother, who remains a person of interest in the ongoing investigation.
