A
22-year-old man, Chigozie Ugwu, paraded by the Anambra State Police Command for
stealing 52 women’s underwear has said he indulges in the act to satisfy his
sexual urge.
Ogwu
said he had no girlfriend and felt like he was having sexual intercourse any
time he picks a woman’s pant, even as he pleaded that the police should release
him.
The
suspect claimed he was not aware that his action was an offence until security
operatives arrested him.
Speaking
exclusively with the Southern City News, Ugwu said, “I didn’t know that it was
an offence to take women’s pants. I don’t have any girlfriend. So, each time I
am with any woman’s underwear, I feel like I am making love.
“That’s
why I go about picking and keeping women’s pants. I didn’t know it was an
offence until the police arrested me. Please, tell them to release me. I didn’t
intend to steal those things. I think, it’s a spiritual problem,” he said.
Ugwu
was among the 15 suspected cult members and armed robbers paraded at the
state’s command headquarters last week.
He
was also said to be involved in burglary and stealing from a shop of items
valued at N500,000 along Emma Nnaemeka Street in Awka, the state capital.
Parading
the suspects, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ali Okechukwu,
thanked the people of the state for availing the police of useful information
that resulted in the successes recorded by the command.
Also
paraded was one Christopher Onwe, a 24-year-old man, said to have been arrested
at Nkpo in Idemili North Local Government Area of the state.
The
PPRO said three of Onwe’s gang members were at large.
Okechukwu
said, “They are members of Baggers Confraternity secret cult and four armed
robbery gang terrorizing Nkpor/Obosi and Ogidi communities.
He
identified items recovered from Onwe as four locally-made pistols, six live
cartridges and two bags of Indian hemp.
The
police spokesperson explained that at the same Nkpo, one Ugochukwu Nwagu ‘m’,
21 years and Ebuka Amaechi ‘m’, 18 years, were arrested while having their cult
initiation meeting at a joint while other members took to their heels.
He
said the suspects confessed to be members of Viking Confraternity, listing
items recovered from them as two cut-to-size double-barrel gun and five
cartridges.
