The armed policemen, who stormed the residence of the victims at about 3 pm at House 16, Regent Park Road, Minfa Garden Estate, Lokogoma District in Abuja, according to sources, said the mother and her two underaged were arrested to account for an offence committed by their close relative, who had been on the run and currently being hunted by the police over an alleged missing N6.5 billion at Zenith Bank, where he worked.
However, a human rights lawyer, Esther Uzoma told Daily Sun that she had since Friday requested for the release on bail of the children and their mother but that police turned down the request. The lawyer also added that the minors were traumatized by the action of the policemen and found it very difficult to sleep at night in the police station.
