Imo Women Protest Against Alleged Police Brutality

“Most recently, the President-General of the community, Pastor Noble Omogo, was arrested and detained in the inspector’s illegal cell at the former NDDC hospital in Mmahu for three days without investigation or any crime.
“The Inspector boasts that he is not answerable to both the Area Commander and the Divisional Police Officer or any other police authority, as he is now the police Traditional Ruler of Egbema.

“Egbema is a peaceful oil-producing community, and we want the government to intervene in this issue before it degenerates to our children deciding to retaliate,” she noted.
Also speaking, Mrs. Love Nzeoma said that the community does not want what happened in Delta to happen to them.

“We do not want our children to resort to self-defense because they have been pushed to the wall.
“Any action they take may affect so many other lives and government installations.

“We respect the law, but we can no longer afford to keep quiet while our children are being killed daily on frivolous charges,” Nzeoma said.
Some of the placards read, ‘Police brutality must stop,” “Kill and Bury, stop killing innocent souls,” “Government, please save us from police brutality,” and “Our pastor must be released,”
