The police command in Anambra State has denied allegations that it collected ₦600,000 to free Jennifer Nwosu, one of the 12 suspects linked to the murder of Isaac Nwosu on 30 August 2026 in Awka.
Tochukwu Ikenga, the police spokesperson in Anambra, clarified during a news conference on Wednesday at the command headquarters in Awka.
“The Anambra Police Command did not collect ₦600,000 to secure Miss Jennifer Nwosu’s release. Her arrest and subsequent release were connected to the ongoing investigation into the murder case.
“We are not a collection of angels, but the Anambra Police Command did not demand or collect ₦600,000, or any money whatsoever, as a condition for Miss Jennifer Nwosu’s release,” he said.
Mr Ikenga said the command had arrested over 12 suspects allegedly linked to the murder of Awka-based public announcer, comedian and town crier, Mr Nwosu, popularly known as Aiza Nwosu.
