The Anambra State Police Command has stated that reports on alleged murder case cover-up levelled against the command is false and unfounded.
The State Command had said this while reacting to a report on social media credited to one Gwamnishu Emefiena Harrison who alleged that the command have refused to charge to court a suspect for the alleged torture and murder of her teenage house help.
The statement which was released on Thursday 11th March 2021, by the command’s Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Haruna Mohammed reads:
“The attention of the Anambra State Police Command has been drawn to a misleading report on Instagram credited to one Gwamnishu Emefiena Harrison that Police have refused to charge to Court one Madam Nmesoma Okafor ‘f’ aged 25years of Nkpor in Idemili North LGA of Anambra State over alleged torture and murder of her teenage house help who died in the hospital while receiving treatment on 16th February,2021.
The report was absolutely false and unfounded. In fact the suspect in question is still in police custody and would be charged to court on monday 15/3/2021 after conducting autopsy.
The Command wondered why the author could not cross-check his facts with the police in a sensitive matter such as this before publishing.
In view of the foregoing, the Commissioner of Police CP Monday Bala Kuryas,fsi urges the public to disregard the report and further assures them that justice will be served on the matter,” the statement on the reports on alleged murder case said.
