In a powerful statement that has resonated throughout the community, Hon. Augustine Onyekachukwu Ike KSJI popularly known as Ikedoji, member representing Nnewi North Constituency, has condemned recent human rights abuses and unlawful detentions in Nnewi. Addressing key state officials—including the Governor of Anambra State, the Chief Judge, and the Commissioner of Police—Ikedoji called for immediate interventions in two alarming cases that have captured public attention.
At the heart of the controversy is the case of Mrs. Ngozi Uba, who has made disturbing allegations of molestation against her brother-in-law, claims that date back to her marriage. Recent judicial actions taken by the Nnewi Police Area Command have raised serious concerns; Mrs. Uba’s two children were allegedly remanded in prison custody under what has been deemed by many as unreasonable bail conditions.

Hon Augustine Ike highlighted the troubling nature of the ongoing legal proceedings, stating, “The decision to charge this family dispute to Magistrate Court under Her Worship Adaeze Eze has sparked widespread concern within the Nnewi community. We demand that justice be served.”
Moreover, the case of Onyedika Uzoukwu, a young man reported missing after his arrest by the Nigerian Police, has further fueled community unrest. Allegedly handed over to the now-disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), the police have failed to provide any information regarding Uzoukwu’s whereabouts, prompting calls for accountability.
In light of these pressing issues, Hon. Augustine Ike has laid out several demands to ensure justice is served and public safety is restored:
1. Judicial Intervention: The Chief Judge of Anambra State is urged to investigate the actions of the magistrate involved in the case and to provide clarity on the bail status of other residents facing similar circumstances.

2. Police Accountability: The Commissioner of Police has been called to action, directing local police to locate Mr. Onyedika Uzoukwu and ensure accountability for any wrongful actions taken by officers involved in his case.
3. Investigation into Kidnapping: A thorough investigation into kidnapping incidents in Nnewi, with a detailed report on individuals reported missing since 2020, has been requested from the Nigerian Police Force.
4. Executive Intervention: Finally, Ikedoji has called on the Executive Governor, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, to facilitate urgent measures that will restore peace and order in the community.
In conclusion, Hon. Augustine Ike emphasized, “The time for action is now. We must restore faith in our justice system and ensure that every resident of Nnewi feels safe and protected.”
