My brother, who was preparing to return to South Africa, was sent on an errand to Orie-Nempi Market to inquire about the prices of drinks to be used for a remembrance ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo hours after he left, some youths from the neighbouring community ran to our house to inform us that four armed policemen arrested him. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/10\/19\/four-youths-killed-as-ebubeagu-invades-ebonyi-community\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">youth<\/a> said they ran but he didn\u2019t as a clear conscience fears no evil.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUpon receiving this shocking news, I searched for him in neighbouring communities and all the police stations, including the area command, but I was told they never facilitated any arrest that day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI returned home to explain all I went through and some family members suggested they might be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/10\/23\/kogi-police-arrest-three-suspected-kidnappers-terrorising-itobe-ayingba-highway\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kidnappers<\/a> and might call soon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut on August 28, a young man came to inform us that he saw my brother at the anti-kidnapping unit in Owerri.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chigozie noted that the resident was at the police unit to monitor another case he reported when he saw Nnamdi.<\/p>\n<p>The 36-year-old said Nnamdi\u2019s case was being handled by one Inspector Asabor Marine, who incidentally was also the Investigating Police Officer of the unnamed resident\u2019s case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe young man said he was discussing with his IPO when the IPO said they arrested my brother from the village after they mistook him for another person. The man said he told the IPO that he knew Nnamdi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on the information, I visited the anti-kidnapping unit. But after searching their records for my brother\u2019s name, I was told that they did not have such a suspect in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/10\/15\/angry-mob-kills-kenyan-serial-child-killer-who-escaped-from-police-custody\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">custody<\/a>. I returned home, invited the young man again and he repeated the same thing he told my mother.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI asked if his IPO was the same as my brother\u2019s and he said yes. He even gave me the IPO\u2019s number. I pleaded with him to accompany me to the anti-kidnapping unit. We were close to the unit\u2019s office when he called the IPO that he wanted to see him (IPO) and he said he was around,\u201d Chigozie added.<\/p>\n<p>On getting to the control post, the resident called the IPO again, saying he was with Nnamdi\u2019s brother who came for his bail.<\/p>\n<p>At that point, the IPO allegedly threatened the resident and cut off the call.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on the threat, the young man refused further assistance. I also went with a lawyer, who demanded to see Nnamdi, but the police told her that they did not have him. I petitioned the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, FCID, Area 10, Garki, Abuja. The DIG referred the case to the homicide section of his department to investigate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome officers then travelled from Abuja to Owerri for a proper investigation and they unmasked the hidden agenda of the IPO and his cohorts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe IPO, Asabor Marine, accepted that he arrested Nnamdi on August 24 and that he died in their custody on August 29 after he was bitten by another inmate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe confessed that the remains of my brother were deposited at the Federal Medical Centre\u2019s morgue. The IPO held the tag of my brother\u2019s corpse without informing his family. I was given two options: either they should release the corpse for burial or an autopsy to be conducted to ascertain the cause of death.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe autopsy was conducted on September 11, 2021, and the pathologist said there was nothing like a human bite on my brother\u2019s corpse. But they refused to release the autopsy report as I was told it is a confidential document for the police. I believe the IPO, Asabor Marine, and his team killed my brother. All we want is justice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When contacted for a reaction at 12.58pm on Tuesday, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Michael Abattam, asked our correspondent to send him a text message.<\/p>\n<p>After sending the message, Abattam replied around 2.06pm.<\/p>\n<p>His response read, \u201cI will find out but, it\u2019s better you come so that we can talk over it. It\u2019s not a phone thing please.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Our correspondent declined the request for a visit and demanded he respond on the phone.<\/p>\n<p>PUNCH Metro called again around 4.53pm, and this time, he asked our reporter to identify himself.<\/p>\n<p>After re-introduction and request for a reaction, Abattam said he was in a meeting.<\/p>\n<p>When contacted again around 6.07pm, Abattam, who said our correspondent was recording him without prior notice, hung up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>32-year-old Nigerian based in South Africa, Nnamdi Ohanekwurum, who recently returned to his hometown in Amagu, in the Orlu East Local Government Area of Imo State, has died in the custody of the anti-kidnapping unit of the state police command.
