The Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre (RULAAC) has petitioned the Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Ikioye Orutugu, over the detention of a footballer, Mr. Carlo Chibuzor Osunkwo.
The footballer, a 22-year-old man was arrested by the Rapid Response Squad, Awkuzu, on allegation of involvement in cultism, a charge which his family, especially his mother, Dr. Patience Osunkwo, described as false.
The Executive Director of RULAAC, Mr. Okechukwu Nwanguma, in a petition to the commissioner, in which he chronicled the testimony of the detainee, his mother said her son’s detention was targeted at getting back at her husband, who opposed the nomination of a known criminal in their community, Igboukwu, Aguata Local Government Area of the state from being their village leader.
