A manhunt is reportedly underway to apprehend, arrest, and detain a certain Mr. Alabi Uche Sylvanus, prime suspect, in the latest violent spousal battery, reported in the Federal Capital Territory, during which life-threatening injuries were said to have been inflicted on the victim, who was subsequently rushed to a popular hospital in Gudu District, Abuja, to save her life
Stories by Clement Ebaku and Lydia
Samson, in Abuja.
Abuja, the Federal Capital is
currently reeling from a recent despicable and brutal spousal battery allegedly
perpetrated by one Mr. Alabi Uche Sylvanus (66yrs) who was said to
have attacked and inflicted life threatening injuries on the victim; upon learning
of the attack, the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in
persons (NAPTIP)swiftly moved into action and rushed to the hospital in Gudu
District where the victim had been taken for emergency medical procedure.
The crack NAPTIP team remained at
the hospital all through the duration of the medical procedure, during which the
victim underwent surgery and resuscitation, and afterwards was transferred to an
observation center for further examination.
Following the severity of the
case, the NAPTIP team subsequently moved to the identified Jabi residence of the suspect and made several attempts
to apprehend him, but were met with stiff rebuff from a certain military officer
referred to as General Azi (rtd). And despite pleas from the NAPTIP team to be allowed
to gain lawful entrance and apprehend the suspect, the retired general Azi refused
to budge, claiming that such a matter was a mere “private family affair”, insisting
that NAPTIP had no jurisdiction to intervene in such issues, vowing to resist further
attempts to bring the suspect to justice.
Before NAPTIP could regroup, the retired general Azi was said to have organized and secretly aided the
escape of Mr. Alabi Uche Sylvanus to an unknown destination, possibly in
preparation to abscond from the country.
But NAPTIP, in order not to be outdone,
has quickly raised an alarm and alerted key security agencies, the Nigeria
Police, Immigration Service, and the Nigerian Military Command to help locate,
apprehend, and bring the suspect to book.
Meanwhile, according to NAPTIP’s Head
of Rapid Response, Dr Emeh Magnus, a report has been lodged with the Inspector
General of Police, the Chief of Defense Staff, on the involvement of the retired
military officer and unauthorized use of armed personnel, which obstructed the immediate
apprehension of the suspect.
NAPTIP is determined to ensure
that violent cases of spousal battery do not repeat itself and is
bent on bringing
Mr. Alabi Uche Sylvanus to justice.
