I Don't Have N1.5million To Give Police, My Husband Is Not IPOB Member by deltaboyo1: 5:41pm On Jun 19, 2021
An eight-month-old pregnant woman, Chioma Okoro, has cried out to the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, to direct the Intelligence Response Team to release her husband, Chukwudi Okoro.



Chioma told SaharaReporters on Saturday morning that her husband, Chukwudi, is still being held at the IRT because the family had not given N1.5million to the IRT police in Abuja as demanded.




SaharaReporters gathered that the four other South-Easterners who were raided alongside Okoro had regained their freedom after parting with at least a N1million as bribes to the police officers.

The men were raided by the joint team of the police and the Nigerian Army on May 24 in Owerri, Imo State, and labelled as members of the Indigenous People of Biafra and the unknown gunmen.





Chioma Okoro, who is due to give birth in July, begged the police top echelon to release her husband, who is a struggling tricycle driver and the first in his family.

She said, "He is the only one in detention among the five of his set right now. The police told us to pay N1.5million to secure his release. He is the eldest brother. He has only two younger brothers who are in school. They don't have such an amount.

"My husband needs help. He does not have such an amount. The tricycle he is riding is on hire purchase, and he has not even completed the hire purchase. I am not doing anything for now. I am eight months pregnant. I am a hairdresser. Things are very difficult for me and the family.

"He has been arrested since May 25. He was labelled as an unknown gunman. We last spoke on Wednesday and what my husband said was I should try and find a means. We are all tired."

SaharaReporters had earlier reported that the IGP Intelligence Response Team in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, collected at least N1million bribes as bail before releasing South-East youths and artisans raided as members of the IPOB's Eastern Security Network.

SaharaReporters had learnt from the families of the victims, who did not want their names in print to avoid police victimisation. They paid the huge sums through their nose before securing the release of their relations.

SaharaReporters gathered that the victims were raided in the South-East and brought to detention at the IGP'S IRT office in Abuja.

"The Investigating Police Officer at the IRT's team holding them is one Inspector Daniel. They were five in number taken to the IRT office, formerly called Abattoir.

"We paid about N1million to secure Chigaemezu (one of the victims). In June, he was released in June by the police in Abuja," one of the family members had said.

I have always known that Police will turn this in security challenges into money making opportunity. Arresting and holding innocent people at ransom for a huge sum while Labelling them UGM, IPOB and ESN.

I guess it's a win win for them. If the accused pays ransom Police wins, if the accused fails to pay ransom he sinks further as a criminal.
An average law enforcement personnel in Nigeria is totally heartless and wicked.

How would Okoro not be Ipob?

If he's not then the police are actually protecting him.

If this allegation of payment for bail is true, then the force headquarters is not living by its message of 'bail is free'.

Also, I hope this is not a subtle way to blackmail the police to jeopardise the investigation

Nigeria police is fond of that. They arrest innocent passerby either to impress their oga at the top or to extort from them. All in the name of bailing


But one thing I know is majority of igbos love Nnamdi Kanu. He was able to sent up ESN in London, 5 state governors set up EbubeAku or whatever the name is, am yet to see or hear any progress from them since their set up.

MNK was able to order seat at home from faraway country thousands, if not millions of igbos in SE complied, yet our darling dad has ordered us to link our NIN. Majority of his village people haven't even done that.
