A Police Corporal, Nwachukwu Chinedu, has been arrested over an alleged rape of a female student of the Abia State Polytechnic, Aba.

Confirming the arrest of the officer, SP Geoffrey Ogbonna, Abia State Police Public Relations Officer told newsmen during a press conference in Umuahia that Chinedu is currently under arrest.
Ogbonna went on to state that Chinedu was not attached to the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) Aba as alleged by the students, but, however, failed to mention the station where he is serving.
“The Commissioner of Police and her management team visited the victim in the hospital where she’s receiving treatment.

“It is worthy to state out that Corporal Nwachukwu Chinedu is not attached to the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) Aba as alleged.
The Commissioner of policy, therefore, appeals to the general public to exercise patience and wait for the outcome of a police investigation that’ll be fast-tracked and made public to ensure justice and let the law take its course,” Ogbonna said.
