The detained woman was said to have leased some of her properties and paid the N50, 000 debt.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">But the IPO also insisted that the woman must pay N30, 000 for bail and N4, 000 for counter before she could be released. The IPO rejected a sum of N10, 000 offered for bail by the children of the detained woman, insisting that the N30, 000 bail money and N4, 000 counter money must be paid in full or the woman will remain in detention.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pointblanknews.com gathered that the former Police Public Relations Officer, zone 9, Umuahia, SP Emma Jiakponnah, (retired), had pleaded with the IPO to release the woman but the IPO insisted on the payment of the N30,000 bail and N4,000 counter money.\u00a0 It was also gathered that appeals to the Divisional Police Officer of the Isiala Ngwa Police Division to intervene were rejected as she allegedly asked the former zone 9 Police spokesman to sort out the matter with the IPO.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Worried by the unprofessional conduct of the IPO and DPO, Jiakponna drew the attention of the State Commissioner of Police, Mrs Janet Agbede.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Jiakponna; \u201cThe wife of an ex-police officer, Benson Azubuike who had a challenge while in active service &amp; is totally blind, was arrested yesterday, at Okpuala Ngwa Police Division in Isiala Ngwa North LGA, for owing someone N50,000. The condition given for her release was to pay half of the money which was met after pledging her properties. Yet the woman Investigating Police Officer insisted on her completing the N50, 000 before bail will be granted which made the woman to sleep in the cell. After much struggle and borrowing, the N50, 000 was brought to the Police, but the IPO started asking for N30, 000 bail &amp; N4, 000 counter money before the woman could be released from detention. I mentioned it to the DPO to intervene, but she said that she was travelling to Akwa Ibom, that I should sort it out with the IPO. The children of the blind police officer brought N10,000 for bail but the IPO refused. It is quite unfortunate that some police officers disobey the rules of engagement as bail is said to be free, yet certain actions that can drag the image of the Force are being exhibited by some officers.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Abia State command, Superintendent Geoffrey Ogbonna, said the Police in the state condemn the unprofessional action of the IPO investigating the matter at the Okpuala Ngwa Police Division.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe State Command of the Nigeria Police Force in totality condemns, dissociates itself from such unprofessional conducts and wishes to state unequivocally that the said ex-Police officer\u2019s wife was released unconditionally on the order of the Commissioner of Police,&#8221; the PPRO.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Abia State Police Command has arrested and detained a woman, Mrs Benson Azubuike, over a N50,000 debt and 34,000 bail demanded from her before she could be released from&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":84213,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-99237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
