The Nigeria Police Force has reacted to a report of a 21-year-old girl, Glory Okolie, who reportedly went missing on June 17 and was later found in police detention and allegedly working as a maid.
Recall that Inspector-general of police, Usman Baba,had ordered an investigation into the alleged detention of Glory Okolie, by officers of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) in Imo state.
However, in a statement by the force’s spokesman, CSP Aremu Adeniran, Glory was arrested for her complicity in the series of deliberate and well-coordinated attacks on security formations, other critical national infrastructure including INEC offices and k*lling of security operatives in the South-Eastern part of the country.
“Police Investigations revealed that Gloria Okolie is a member of IPOB/ESN in Imo State who worked closely with one Benjamin Uzoma Emojiri a.k.a “Onye Army”, one of the ESN commanders earlier declared wanted by the Police for his lead roles in planning, coordinating and executing the attack on the Imo State Police Command Headquarters and Imo State Headquarters of the Nigerian Correctional Service.
Her arrest and the revelations from her confession, assisted the Police in the arrest of “Onye Army”, a major breakthrough in the quest to restoring law and order in the South-East region.
Further investigations by the Police team revealed that Gloria Okolie takes advantage of her gender and seemingly innocuous looks as camouflage to carry out espionage against military and police targets on behalf of IPOB/ESN. The suspect also serves as an intermediate person, who receives cash, dr*gs and weapons on behalf of IPOB/ESN and deliver same to their commanders in their camps,” the statement read in part.
