Monday, July 8, 2024 - Nnamani's condition has continued to worsen and she reached out to the public for financial help to continue her medical treatment and avoid having her leg amputated.
Narrating what transpired, Mrs Nnamani said: "The incident happened at Upper Iweka, near the Onitsha head bridge a few weeks ago. I was brutalised, assaulted and humiliated by the SASA operatives for questioning them for beating an elderly woman on the road.
"I was in a commercial vehicle going to Asaba that fateful day. The bus was still loading at the park when I looked from the window and saw SASA officials in their uniforms and combat trousers beating up an elderly woman with pestles and subjecting the woman to all manner of assault.
"As they were pounding the
elderly woman, I pleaded with them to leave her alone, but one of the squad
members rushed to the bus I was sitting, pulled me down, dragged me out and
started using a pestle on me.
"After brutalising me and
battering me with a pestle on my legs, he bundled me into their vehicle and
took me to their torture camp, where I was made to cough up a huge sum of money
to regain my freedom, but not without more assaults and injuries they inflicted
on me."
She said she couldn’t continue her
journey that day as people rushed her to the hospital. She added that she was
later taken to several orthopaedic hospitals.
"Although the SASA squad visited
me when someone who knows me among them told them my condition was
deteriorating, they came in company with their leader and gave me N50,000.
Since then, they have not visited me again even as my condition worsens due to
lack of funds to continue my medical treatment.
“Right now, I am in severe pain and
in critical condition. I can’t walk since the incident as I have stopped
working. It has not been easy catering to my four children in this condition. I
call on Governor Chukwuma Soludo to look at my condition and come to my
rescue.”
