MISSING CHARITY AIYEDOGBON: GROUP URGES POLICE TO ADDRESS NIGERIANS ON FINDINGS … WANTS SUSPECTS DECLARED WANTED
A civil society organisation, Coalition against
Crime (CAC) has called on Nigeria’s Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris
and Force Public Relations Officer, Donald Awuna to address Nigerians on the
extent of their investigations on the controversial disappearance of an
Abuja-based woman, Charity Aiyedogbon.
National Coordinator of the group, Harrison
Pepple, who made the call while addressing newsmen in Abuja, weekend, expressed
concerns over the continued silence of the Police hierarchy on the matter,
describing it as an unhelpful strategy.
“Recall that one Charity Aiyedogbon was declared
missing on social media. She is said to have been missing since the 10th
of May, 2016 and family, friends and security agencies have been working round
the clock to unravel the mystery behind her sudden disappearance. Impeccable
sources have revealed that the Monitoring Unit of the office of Nigeria’s
Inspector General of Police, handling the matter have made substantial
progress. The missing woman’s vehicle has been recovered. Two of her handsets
have also been recovered. No fewer than six persons are said to have been arrested
so far, in connection with the matter.
Plans are said to have been concluded to
conduct a DNA on a dismembered body displayed online by Lagos lawyer, Emeka
Ugwuonye, claiming to be that of the missing Charity, among other developments.
Different persons have come up with unsubstantiated claims and counter claims
on the matter, including accusing her ex-husband, David Aiyedogbon. At this
stage, the Police have made substantial progress in the matter and should
address Nigerians on the situation; if not for anything, to assure Nigerians
that they are doing their best to unravel the mystery behind Charity
Aiyedogbon’s disappearance. Now that there is a clue, different from earlier
accusations, Nigerians deserve to know the truth.”
Continuing, Pepple urged the Police to declare
other suspects at large wanted, and if possible, put a price tag on them, so
that Nigerians and the international community will notify them wherever they
are seen.
“A woman is missing and some persons suspected to
have a hand in her disappearance, by evidence and intelligence at Police
disposal refused to show up at the Police, but prefer to be on the run. For
instance, a prime suspect in possession of the woman’s vehicle is on the run
and the Police claims to be looking for him. Why has he not been declared
wanted? Also, it is obvious that Charity Aiyedogbon is missing and this has
been confirmed by several people, including through written petitions to the
Police.
Why have the Police not officially declared her missing so whoever sees
her anywhere will notify the Police or her relatives? Police should show more
seriousness in this case by doing the needful: address Nigerians on the extent
of their investigations, declare the suspects on the run wanted and officially
declare Charity Aiyedogbon missing, so Nigerians will be reassured that they
are on top of the matter. Anyone that says that it is premature to address the
Press on the matter is allowing space for speculations and rumours. If we think
it will scare the suspects on the run to hide further; now that you refused to
talk to the Press, have they surrendered voluntarily?”
He however urged Nigerians to insist on diligent
investigation and prosecution of whoever has questions to answer on the matter,
even as he urged citizens to volunteer useful information to the Police in
order to ensure that justice is done.
