A Federal High Court No. 1 sitting at Awka, Anambra State, presided over by His Lordship, Justice F.O. Riman, on Wednesday, granted bail to a whistleblower, Nnamdi Emeh.
Emeh was working as an IT consultant for the Anambra State Police Command and was attached to the Rapid Response Squad in Awkuzu.
He had through an online platform in January revealed alleged evidence of atrocities ranging from organ harvesting and extra-judicial killings allegedly committed by some officers of the Anambra State command.
The whistleblower was declared wanted for impersonation on February 20, 2023, and was subsequently arrested on March 3 in the Benin Republic by Interpol and the Nigeria Police where he was said to have fled.
While still in custody at Awka, the command, through the Commissioner of Police in Anambra, Echeng Echeng accused him of hacking into a suspect’s bank account and stealing a whopping sum of N47 million from the account during a press conference in April, adding that the case is before the Federal High Court.
The police thereafter arraigned him in court on Thursday, May 11 on a 12-count charge of impersonation, fraud stealing, among others, in charge No. IGP Vs. Emeh Nnamdi Daniel (FHC/AWK/C/60/2023).
