Anambra Police Arrest Woman Over Alleged Child Pornography, Rescue 4 Children, Recover Sex Toys

The Anambra State Police Command has arrested a 36-year-old lady identified as Anulika Onyeanusia, over an alleged case of using her minor to create explicit content in Onitsha, Anambra State.

The operation also led to the rescue of four children as well as the recovery of sex toys and other items relevant to the ongoing investigation.

Police spokesperson, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, listed the ages of the children rescued to be 2,3,6 and 9 respectively.

“The suspect is currently in police custody as the Command intensifies its investigation into the circumstances surrounding the alleged offence and the possible involvement of other persons.

“The husband of the suspect is also undergoing interrogation to determine whether he has any connection with the alleged offence.

“The Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Command, CP Nnanna Oji Ama, psc, who is deeply disturbed by the alleged act, described it as unacceptable, particularly because it involves the exploitation and abuse of children who are incapable of protecting themselves.

“He has therefore directed a thorough and professional investigation while ensuring that the rescued children receive appropriate care and protection.

“To this end, the Command notes that beyond the investigation and prosecution, its priority is the safety, dignity and wellbeing of the rescued children.

“The Command will work with the appropriate child-protection and relevant support agencies to ensure that the victims receive the necessary care, protection, counselling and other support required for their recovery. Their identities and privacy will be protected throughout the process, and they will be treated with compassion and sensitivity.”

The Command also commended the vigilante operatives in the area, as well as bloggers and residents who provided information that assisted the investigation and led to the arrest of the suspect.
