A social critic, Justice Ozobi, is arrested after accusing Ebonyi State’s Commissioner of Police of collecting bribes totalling N4.2 million. According to the reports, Ozobi made the allegation in a Facebook post dated 31 August.
The claim says the police commissioner received N700,000 from six different families to secure the release of their arrested sons, for a total of N4.2 million. Daily Post Nigeria and Premium Times Nigeria both link the arrest to this online accusation. Daily Post Nigeria quotes the Ebonyi State police spokesperson, Joshua Ukandu, saying the arrest follows the allegation, while Premium Times Nigeria focuses on the content of the post and the arrest.
Both outlets describe the same underlying sequence: a public accusation is made on social media and the person making it is subsequently detained by police. The reports do not provide details on the specific charges filed or any response from the accused police commissioner.
