Anambra Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu has continued to open more channels of Policing engagement as he received a human rights group in his Office at the State Headquarters, Awka.
During the interaction, the CP commended the group and showed interest on a complaint about a widow who was physically brutalised and assaulted in Amanuke by her brother-in-law.
Preliminary information alleged that the suspect in order to shield his crime threatened the victim not to report to the police and that she would pay the fine of One hundred thousand Naira, only if she does.
Angel Network News (ANN) reports that the CP while directing the Police Public Relations Officer to investigate the incident, expressed willingness to pay the fine, but must ensure that justice is served.
In their response, the leader of the Human Rights group, Mr Charles Ejefonye thanked the CP for receiving them and presented a book as a gesture of appreciation for his commitment to human rights, community engagement, upholding the law and protecting the rights of citizens, particularly vulnerable individuals in the State.
