Some policemen attached to the Anambra State Police Command have arrested the PUNCH correspondent in the state, Tony Okafor, over reports on the suspended senior lecturer of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Univers
ity, Awka, Dr. Peter Ekemezie.
“The policemen first took me to ‘B’ Division and later transferred me to Awka Area Command, where I was detained for six hours after the intervention of the State Commissioner of Police, John Abang, and the Police Public Relations Officer, Haruna Mohammed. I was taken on bail by a colleague.” When our correspondent asked the spokesperson if the petitioner provided any evidence for the allegation, he said, “That is what the police are investigating now. That is why I said it was an allegation.”
Ekemezie was employed by UNIZIK in July 2010, but his employment immediately generated controversies because he was allegedly employed as Lecturer I Level 11, instead of Lecturer 2, Level 9.
