A middle-aged woman, Mr. Agnes Uchendu and her son, Ikechukwu Uchendu, in Umuahia, Abia State, are in police net for allegedly inflicting injuries on their house helps with hot electric iron.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Ezekiel Onyeke, who disclosed this in Umuahia, said the suspects were picked up based on a petition by the International Federation of Women Lawyers, Abia State Chapter, led by one Florence E. Igwe, Esq.

The suspects, he said, allegedly tortured  their maids – Hope Ajunwa, 11, and Ngozi Ajunwa, 9, who  lived with them. 

He said, “Upon the receipt of the petition, operatives  proceeded to the given address and arrested both suspects and rescued the victims. One of the victims, Ngozi Ajunwa, had injuries on the sole of her foot and other parts of her body. 

“The victims had wounds on other parts of their bodies which were inflicted by the suspect with a hot electric pressing iron.” 

 The PPRO said upon interrogation, “Ikechukwu admitted committing the crime alleging that the minors stole one hundred Naira (N100.00).”

He said the victims  had been admitted  to the Nigeria Police Clinic Umuahia for medical attention.

Onyeke said the case was still under investigation, adding that  the suspects will soon be arraigned.

Buhari visited Niger and Chad in his first week in office. The president held talks with Chad’s President Idris Deby to consolidate the achievements recorded so far in the war against Boko Haram and open more channels for collaboration between both countries.

Buari has also met with Mahamadou Issoufou, his Niger counterpart.

During the G7 summit Buhari presented a “wish list” of Nigeria to the international community with a special emphasis on countering terrorism.

Cameroon’s leader Paul Biya was noticeably absent at a summit in Abuja last week and was represented by his defence minister.


“But on my return to Nigeria now, I will try to go to Cameroon,” President Buhari said on the sidelines of the African Union summit in Johannesburg.

The current Multi National Joint Task Force came into being after Deby sent troops to help the Cameroonian army against a wave of attacks by the terrorists.

The armies of Niger and Chad have crossed into Nigerian territory but those from Cameroon have not, in an sign of the tense relations between the neighbours.

But Buhari specified last Thursday that soldiers from the new force would not be limited in terms of movement.

The task force will be presided over by a Nigerian officer for the duration of the mission, with his deputy from Cameroon for an initial 12 months once troops are deployed from July 30.

“The most important support is intelligence. What we are looking for from the G7… is intelligence. We want help in terms of logistics,” the Nigerian president, who made the fight against Boko Haram his prority, said.


“Boko Haram declared that they are in alliance with ISIS, so terrorism has gone international. They are in Mali, they are in Nigeria, they are in Syria, they are in Iraq, they are in Yemen… It’s an international problem now,” he said.

Police in Ogun State have arrest­ed no fewer than 30 suspected cult members alleged to have been terrorising Ijebu Ode and its environs.

In recent times, an inter-cult war in the area had claimed no fewer than sev­en persons within a week.

But the police said yes­terday that its intensified efforts to curb cult-related activities in the area had be­gun to pay off as its men had arrested over 30 suspected cultists within one week at different locations in the Ijebu-Ode axis.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the suspected cultists were arrested by a combined team of police­men deployed by the Com­missioner of Police, Mr. Valentine Ntomchukwu, to carry out special operations to flush out the hoodlums from the area.

According to Adejobi, some of the arrested sus­pects include Gbenga Ban­jo, Akeem Kareem, Dam­my, Jawando (real names yet unknown), Kazeem Akeem, Oluwatimileyin Akintunde, Olootu Lukman Neyo (not real name) and Oladele Oluniga.

He added that while some of the suspects had been ar­raigned in court in Ijebu Ode, the commissioner of police had ordered thorough investigation of the other suspects and more of the in­cidents recorded in the Ijebu area of the state.

“Commissioner of Police in Ogun State, Ntomchuk­wu, has recently vowed to tackle cultism and other vices that are capable of embarrassing the police and other security agencies in the state. In a bid to ac­tualise his determination, he has deployed more than 10 teams comprising Spe­cial Anti Robbery Squad (SARS), Anti Robbery of the Department of Crimi­nal Investigation and In­telligence, Mobile Police Force and State Intelligence Buruea, led by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Department of Criminal Investigation and Intelligence (DCP), Shina Olukolu, and some other se­nior police officers to carry out operations in Ijebu Area.

“The teams on special operation in Ijebu Ode have carried out raids on many black spots and hideouts, including Fidipote Street, Ogbogbo village, Ita Alapo, Imeweje village and some hotels in the area, which have led to the arrest of the prime suspects or ring lead­ers, who had been involved in many criminal acts, in­cluding series of killings of people in the area and in some other parts of the state.

“The command will not allow any individual or group of hoodlums to trun­cate the existing security arrangement in the state or embarrass the command. The police boss vowed to take the fight against cult­ism and other vices to the door steps of the hood­lums,” he said.

The police spokesman further said the state police commissioner had appealed to the general public, par­ticularly the residents of Ijebu Ode, to support the police in the fight against cultism “and believe in the capability of the police and other security agencies in tackling this menace.
