Owerri Teacher Arrested for Dehumanizing 12-Year-Old Stepdaughter
Operatives of the Owerri Urban Area Command have arrested Blessing Emmanuel, a secondary school teacher, for subjecting her 12-year-old stepdaughter, Amarachi Emmanuel, to severe abuse.
The arrest followed a complaint by Owerri-based activist journalist, Chidiebube Okeoma, who discovered the battered girl in Nekede, Owerri.
Okeoma revealed that the girl and her siblings had been out of school for years, forced to hawk sachet water for their stepmother while enduring regular mistreatment.
The latest incident occurred when Amarachi was severely beaten for cooking rice without her stepmother’s permission.
The spokesperson for the command, ASP Henry Okoye, confirmed that Mrs. Emmanuel admitted to the abuse during interrogation.
He assured the public that the police are thoroughly investigating the case and reaffirmed their commitment to protecting children from abuse and neglect.
Okoye encouraged community members to report any suspected cases of child abuse for timely intervention.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
