SP Haruna Mohammed, the Police Public Relations Officer in Anambra State, made this known in a statement yesterday, saying the woman was arrested at a market, Oye Olisa in Ogbunike, Oyi Local Government Area of the state on Saturday.
He said: “On 15/02/2020, at about 11:48a.m. following intelligence report, police detectives attached to Ogbunike Division arrested at Oye Olisa Market, Ogbunike in Oyi Local Government Area, one Mrs. Ngozi Dike, aged 37, of Umuaka Town, Isu-Njaba LGA of Imo State.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect is neither blind nor afflicted with any ailment as she claimed.”
