The Nigerian police have arrested a 21-year-old woman, Glory Okolie who only got out of the Suleja correctional centre in Niger State last week after more than eight months of incarceration.
Okolie was arrested by the Imo State Police Command acting through the Divisional Police Officer of Shell Police Station.
A source revealed that Okolie was arrested when she went to her bank branch in Owerri to withdraw some of her money.
“The NPF through the Imo State Police Command, through the DPO of Shell Police Station, rearrested Okolie, who was only granted bail out of Suleja Prison last week,” the source said. “When we reached the police spokesperson on phone, he said Okolie was arrested because she went to her Owerri bank to withdraw money, after it was flagged down by the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Unit before her arrest and eventual bail.”
Her lawyer, Samuel Ihensekhien confirmed her arrest to THE WHISPERER through a WhatsApp text Thursday evening.
Okolie had been arrested since June 17, 2021, by the operatives of the IGP IRT in Imo State.
Okolie was detained and held in a cell by the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team unit of the Nigeria Police Force for months on allegations of spying for the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
