Anambra State Command of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), has arrested a 37-year-old woman, Udeogu Chinelo, for allegedly flogging her three-year-old granddaughter to death.

NAPTIP’s Public Relations Officer, Okafor Anthony, in a statement, yesterday, said the suspect hails from Enugwu-Ukwu but married in Nibo, Awka South Local Council of the state.

He said Chinelo was arrested in a Primary School in Awka, where she had earlier enrolled the deceased, Ifechukwu and had gone to ask for a refund of the school fees she paid for her.

He also disclosed that the deceased had reportedly suffered convulsion after she was flogged by the suspect, who claimed to have rushed her to the hospital where she died, adding that the victim reportedly died on September 29, 2022.

He said: “NAPTIP Anambra State Command arrested a 37-year- old female suspect in Awka on October 5 for the offence of child abuse/inflicting grievous harm on a child, an offence prohibited in the human trafficking Act.

“While being questioned on the whereabouts of the victim, she disclosed that the victim had died. The suspect led NAPTIP operatives to the scene where she disposed of the body of the victim.

“On arriving at the scene, the victim’s decomposing body was found wrapped in a black nylon bag where the suspect dumped her in the bush around Hezekiah Dike Crescent Awka.

“The suspect was immediately handed over to the Police by NAPTIP Anambra State Command to investigate the death of the victim.”

Contacted, the state’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Ikenga Tochukwu, said the matter has been transferred to State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) for discrete investigation.

“On the incident about a woman, Chinelo Udogu, who allegedly flogged a three-year-old child to death and dumped her body in a bush at Amikwo, Awka, she has been arrested and the victim’s body recovered.

“The lesson for us is that we should be cautious when angry and desist from going physical when correcting our children,” he added.

Buhari disclosed this during the passing-out parade and commissioning ceremony of cadets of regular Course 69 of the Nigerian Defence Academy, NDA, in Kaduna on Thursday.

“When this government came in 2015, we inherited a country at crossroads with bombs going off with frightening frequency even in our cities, and we came in to manage the crisis,” he said.

Buhari called on the cadets to replicate the spirit of social cohesion they learned at the NDA and be incorruptible models to society.

He stressed that the cadets emerged in the era of expanding global security threats.

A total of 239 cadets, including those from sister African countries such as Liberia, Sierra Leone, Niger Republic, Chad, and Uganda are passing out from the Academy as junior military officers.

The Federal Capital Territory, FCT Ministerial Task Team on Thursday came under gun attack from hoodlums during a clearance operation along the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport road corridor.

The operation which was meant to enforce the ban on commercial motorcyclists, popularly known as “okada”, saw the team impounding over 100 motorbikes.

Their offences include driving against traffic, driving on the express way among others.

As the raid was on along the car wash area in Lugbe some of the riders mobilized themselves and started shooting at the joint task team and also attacked them with other dangerous weapons.

Items recovered by the taskteam included one locally made gun, pistol, cutlasses and a dagger.

Senior Special Assistant on Monitoring, Inspection and Enforcement to the Minister of FCT, Attah Ikharo who spoke on the incident said; “We came for removal of okada on the airport corridor. The Minister of FCT, Malam Muhammad Bello, has given a marching order that okada should be removed because they are not allowed to ply the main road but most times we find them heavily driving against traffic on the express way, contravening traffic rules, we find them behaving unruly, we find them hurting people here so we came to remove them on the airport road”.

On how many okadas were impounded, he said, “There was massive impounding of okadas, we impounded over 100”.

Condemning the attack on the security officials, he said, “For us, attack is a regular thing for us, we are used to being attacked. We have been attacked severally.

“Before the joint taskforce came on board the security men have always been under attack by these okada riders, it is a regular thing here”.

Adamu Shehu, Head of Directorate of Road Traffic Services, DRTS in the taskteam urged the motorcycle riders to stop violation of traffic rules.

“My message is that they should stop driving against the traffic because when we see them we are going to seize their okada.

“All the okada impounded today, we will go through the court process and we are going to crush them”.
