The Commissioner of Police, Ikioye Orutugu has showed interest on a complaint about a widow physically brutalised and assaulted by her brother-in-law at Amanuke in Awka South LGA of the state.
Orutugu gave the hint while hosting human rights group today 6th May 2025 in his Office at the State Police Headquarters, Awka.
The CP while directing the Police Public Relations Officer to investigate the incident, expressed willingness to pay the fine, but must ensure that justice is served.
Preliminary information alleged that the suspect in order to shield his crime threatened the victim not to report to the police and that she would pay the fine of N100,000 only if she does.
In their response, leader of the Human Rights group, Mr Charles Ejefonye thanked the CP for receiving them.
He presented a book as a gesture of appreciation for his commitment to human rights, community engagement, upholding the law and protecting the rights of citizens, particularly vulnerable individuals in the State.
