The Police in Anambra State have revealed that a corps member, Mr. Nnamdi Emeh, who was recently declared wanted, was responsible for the stealing of a whooping ₦ 47 million from a suspect’s account.
Emeh who is a serving corps member was one of the IT consultants attached to Anambra State Police Command and was attached to the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Awkuzu.
Emeh was declared wanted for impersonation, where he claimed to be a police officer with the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police. He was also accused of money laundering and illegal possession of arms.
The Eastern Updates gathered that using his IT skills and knowledge of police operations, Emeh had used an anonymous blogger (Gistlover) to reveal alleged atrocious activities of some police officers in the state.
