Pursuant to its earlier call on the Police over
the missing Abuja business woman, Charity Aiyedogbon, 63 Civil Society
Organisations under the aegis of Coalition against Crime in Nigeria have
petitioned Nigeria’s Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, urging
him to take necessary steps to effect the arrest of a prime suspect in the
matter, Paul Chukwujekwu Ezeugo, presently at large.
The petition dated 22-8-2016, captioned: Re-Missing
Charity Aiyedogbon: pertinent issues; our demands, signed by the group’s
National Coordinator, Harrison Pepple and made available to newsmen, also
called on the Police to conduct a DNA test on a body displayed on Facebook by
Lagos lawyer, Emeka Ugwuonye, to ascertain the veracity of his claim that it is
that of the missing woman.
The 2-page Petition made a six-point demand and
reads in part:
“Coalition against Crime in Nigeria is a Network
of 63 Civil Society Organisations advocating against Crime, Immorality and
other social vices in Nigeria.”
“We first write to commend you for your
determination towards unravelling the mystery behind the sudden disappearance
of an Abuja-based lady, Charity Aiyedogbon, aka Chacha, being handled by the
Monitoring Unit of your office (IGPMU).”
“We are aware that the missing woman’s husband,
David Aiyedogbon was directly accused by a Lagos-based lawyer, Emeka Ugwuonye
of having a hand in her disappearance. He also displayed a corpse on his
Facebook group, Due Process Advocates, claiming that it was that of the missing
woman, among others.”
“We
are also aware that the missing woman’s daughter’s (Juliet) wedding was
postponed indefinitely as a result of the controversy generated by
misinformation fed to Nigerians by Ugwuonye’s claims over her missing mother.”
“We
also have reports that some arrests have been made in connection with her
disappearance, while her vehicle and two handsets have been recovered, among
other developments.”
Continuing,
the Petition urged the Police to address Nigerians on the extent of
investigation, while officially declaring Charity Aiyedogbon missing.
“We
demand that you use your good offices to order an immediate conduct of a DNA
test on the corpse displayed online by Lagos lawyer, Emeka Ugwuonye to ascertain
the true identity of the body; direct the Force Public Relations Officer to
address Nigerians on the extent of investigation/findings on the matter and invoke
relevant sections of the Police Act by declaring the prime suspect, Paul Chukwujekwu
Ezeugo wanted, so Nigerians and the International Community will be on the
lookout for him.”
Other
demands by the group are that the Police “officially declare Charity Aiyedogbon
(Chacha) missing; invite her extended family members (parents and 4 siblings)
for questioning, following their continued silence on the matter of their
missing daughter since May 10, 2016 and all those that have questions to answer
(from your investigations) be charged to Court without further delay.”
It
would be recalled that an Abuja-based business woman, Charity Aiyedogbon was
declared missing on social media by her friends and her whereabouts remains a
mystery that the Police is attempting to unravel.
