BACKGROUND
A few days ago, an Instagram blog, Gistloversgram_media continuously published reports revealing several numbers of “evidence” on the alleged criminal activities of the officers, including images of their victims, some of who had been declared missing.
As soon as the reports went viral on social media, some Nigerians mostly on Twitter got infuriated and demanded the arrest and investigation of the officers.
The officers linked with the alleged crimes include Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Patrick Agbazue, Inspector Harrison Akama, and Superintendent of Police (SP) known as Princess Nwode.
Also, the immediate past Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, and his wife were linked with the officers as well as a business mogul, Arthur Eze.
Some reports had also alleged that following the weight of the evidence against them, some of the indicted officers allegedly made plans to flee the country.
Pictures of some of their victims that had been killed or kidnapped for ransom are also available.
Below are some of the reports by Gistlover detailing the crimes allegedly carried out by Patrick and his accomplices
“Hello Tueh Tueh, meet Azubike Anaeme who was Arrested last month in Ozubulu his hometown by Patrick and his evil squad, they took his vehicle with them but it broke down along ontisha-owerri express way and they left it there. Patrick and Harrison took him in, they tortured him with the help of princess, they made him write false statement that he sells gun after which Patrick transferred all the money in his account to another account before finally transferring it to himself, he then went ahead to make a damage control by writing fcmb to freeze the account as investigation is still ongoing on the account, he did this so Azubike family won’t track the account and won’t be able to access it. After achieving all these, he then k1lled him💔💔, his family has been looking for him without any directions.
“New World Mortuary Nteje is where he kept Azubike corpse and most of his victims corpse.
“Note: DEAR ANAMABRA RESIDENT AND INDIGENES, I HAVE BEEN WORKING Tirelessly TODAY AND I CAN CONFIRM THERE ARE LOT OF DAMAGE CONTROL GOING ON, IF THERE IS ANY GROUP OF YOUNG MEN OR ELDERLY WOMEN THAT CAN COME OUR IN HUNDREDS TO guide the New world Motuary in Nteje, that’s where he keeps most of his victims corpse , before morning they might have done damage control and evacuate all the corpse, also get Sanni the morgue guy and interrogate him because information reaching me is that they want to eliminate him to so they can conceal their secrets , as of yesterday, the bodies were still in Nteje, I do not know if anything has been done today , ANAMBRA people, do not sleep, they must not cover this attrocities!!! Enough is Enough , I am dropping more now, I will be right back, Never sleep.”
Another report
“I need to clear the air before we start this part, to those mentioning Peter Obi name,you are wrong, this whole madness started with Obiano, quote me anywhere, you all know if he is involved I no send him papa, I no dey look uche face, I say things as it is, Obiano is the one who started this because of Princess Puna, now take a sit and let’s go on another journey.
“Hello tueh tueh, meet SP Princess, the lady that controls ANAMBRA with her godforsaken Puna, she is a random SOURVENIR amongst politicians.
“She’s a Superintendent of Police and she married a junior inspector of police, Officer Harrison Akama against police work ethics.
“She warmed Arthur Eze and Willie Obiano beds in the past just to get ranks and connection in ANAMBRA even while still married to her first husband before he pursue that one come move to Harrison Akama who is a junior officer and also married before princess carry her puna come snatch Harrison.
“She started an affair with on Inspector Harrison Akama serving in Awkuzu sars sometime in last year in order to solidify her relationship with SARS so as to continue all her illegalities. The said Inspector Harrison Akama is the hit man of CSP Patrick Agbazue who is responsible of most of the extra judicial killings in anambra state.
SP Princess Nwode secretly married Inspector Harrison Akama in December against police regulations. An SPO( Senior Police Officer) can NEVER marry a rank and file( ie from constable to Inspector rank) it amounts to instant dismissal, when she saw that she has gained entrance to Patrick through Harrison, she got Harrison Two brand new mikano trucks, White and black, Harrison has since moved into Princess house and they go about bragging that they are untouchable, that’s how they come together to form a squad, once they get a Victim, they work hand in hand to make sure they achieve their illegal aim, princess who is the woman among them is used as their traps most times, they invade rich people houses , kidnap them and start calling their family for ransom, one thing is sure, it’s only 1 percent fo their victims that come out alive by the grace of God, the remaining 99 percent are missing forever , even the 1 percent.”
