Police arraign Nnamdi Emeh, whistle-blower who busted alleged organ trafficking ring in Anambra police

The Nigeria Police Force, on Thursday, arraigned Nnamdi Emeh, the whistleblower who exposed an alleged organ trafficking ring within Anambra police command, before a Federal High Court in Awka, the state capital.

The force filed 12 counts against him, accusing him of committing crimes alleged to have violated several regulations and laws.

Emeh, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.

His lawyer, Mr. Justus Ijeoma Esq, moved the bail application already filed for him while the police filed a counter-affidavit in opposition to his bail application.

The judge subsequently reserved the ruling on the bail application to Tuesday, May 16 and remanded him in the custody of the Federal Correction Centre, Awka.

Emeh, who has been in police custody, was on April 2, 2023, transferred from the Force Headquarters in Abuja to the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Awka.

His transfer to the state came despite public outcry as to why he would be transferred from the Force Headquarters Abuja to the Anambra State Command of the Nigeria Police, where most of its senior officers were named in the alleged atrocities happening at Awkuzu SARS.
