A
policewoman, who allegedly clutched the private parts of a mechanic, Ikwunado
Chima, while he was being tortured in detention has been arrested and detained
by the Rivers State Police Command.
The
late Chima met his untimely death in police custody on December 23, 2019, four
days after he was arrested.
It
was gathered that the policewoman, who was only identified as Rose, was
arrested on Wednesday to join six other cops in detention in connection with
Chima’s death.
Chima
and four of his friends were going home in a car when they were arrested by
officials of the Eagle Crack Squad, who labelled them robbers and cultists.
While
the car owner told the policemen that Chima and his friends were innocent, the
cops continued to torture them until the mechanic died in the cell.
Chima’s
friends had, after their release from prison, insisted that Rose came into the
torture chamber and grabbed the private parts of the deceased.
A
source said, “They arrested Rose today (Wednesday). The woman came into the
matter for grasping Chima’s private parts and threatening to destroy them.
“She
only came in while Chima was being tortured and she began to press the man’s
private parts. That kind of woman, I pity the husband.”
The
source noted that the Commander of the Eagle Crack Squad, Adetuyi Benson, had
earlier taken four cops to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence
Department, where they were detained before the arrest of the policewoman.
However,
the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Nnamdi Omoni, said he had not
been briefed about the arrest of the female cop.
Omoni
stated that he was aware that those involved in investigating the mechanic and
four of his friends had all been arrested.
