Thursday, December 11, 2025 - An Enugu State Magistrate Court has ordered the remand of 51-year-old Emeka Emmanuel Nwangwu, a member of a neighbourhood security watch group, for the alleged m8rder of his 19-year-old female cousin, Loveth Uloma Nwangwu, in the Nsukka Local Government Area.
The spokesperson FOR the Enugu State Police Command, SP
Daniel Ndukwe, who disclosed this in a statement said Nwangwu was arraigned on
Wednesday, December 10, 2025, after the conclusion of investigations by the
State Criminal Investigation Department (State CID).
The PPRO said the arraignment followed the directive of
the State Commissioner of Police, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa.
Recall that the suspect was arrested on 1st
December 2025 in Nsukka, following an incident in which he violently assaulted
the deceased, resulting in injuries that tragically led to her d3ath.
The unfortunate incident occurred days after she accused him of years of s3xual abuse and threats
to her life.
Upon his arrest, the CP Giwa, directed the State CID to
conduct a meticulous investigation and ensure that the case was promptly
charged to court.
“Consequently, the suspect has been arraigned before the
Enugu State Magistrate Court on a one-count charge of m8rder," the
statement read.
"The Court ordered his remand and directed that the
case file be forwarded to the Ministry of Justice, through the Directorate of
Public Prosecution (DPP), for review and legal advice.
“CP Giwa again expressed his condolences to the family and
friends of the deceased, urging them to find comfort in the fact that justice
is already in motion, as the investigation has been concluded and the suspect
has been arraigned and remanded accordingly.”
The suspect was appointed the Chief Security Officer (CSO) of Ibeku Opi earlier this year.
