An Anambra-based journalist, Mr. David-Chyddy Eleke has petitioned Ebonyi State Commissioner of Police (CP) Anthonia Uche-Anya over an alleged threat to his life by an Ebonyi State-born Unite States (US) citizen, Mr. Ikechukwu Nkumeh.
Eleke, who is Anambra State Correspondent of THISDAY Newspapers and an indigene of Oshiri in Onicha Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, alleged that Nkumeh and his brother, Friday were using operatives of Anti-kidnapping and SWAT squads of the command to torment his life and other members of his family for their refusal to surrender a portion of their family land to Nkumeh’s family.
In the petition, which was made available to journalists, Mr. Eleke called on CP Anthonia Uche-Anya to restrain operatives of anti-kidnapping squad and SWAT from lending themselves as agents of suppression and abuse of human rights in the hands of Mr Nkumeh and his brother, Friday.
