Police arrest sponsor of naked women protest in Anambra

The Anambra State Police Command says it has arrested one Ozo Nweke, who allegedly sponsored a naked women protest in Awka.

Last week, men and women from Enugwu-Agidi in the Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State, protested in Awka against incessant cult-related killings in their community. During the protest, they accused two police officers of aiding and abetting criminals in the area.

Some of the women stripped, exposing themselves from the waist upwards.

However, three days after, another group from the community, in a counter-protest round the police headquarters in Awka, accused Nweke, of land grabbing, intimidation, harassment, and rape.

The state Commissioner of Police, CP Aderemi Adeoye, told journalists on Monday, Nov. 27, that Nweke was arrested in Abuja.

He said, “We arrested him to face prosecution.  Nweke and operatives of his company have been charged to court in three different cases, one at the Federal High Court and two at the State High Court.

“He has two cases at the Federal High Court and one at the Magistrates’ Court. So, we arrested him to answer his charges.
