Lagos Woman Demands Justice for Missing Husband

Nnenna John-Anozie is demanding justice for her husband, Chukwuemeka John-Anozie, who she claims was arrested by operatives of the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad in Anambra State on June 15, 2017. She alleges that five armed SARS operatives stormed their Lekki, Lagos residence, took her husband while he was dropping their children at school, and ransacked their home, seizing valuables including money, passports, and certificates.

John-Anozie claims that an officer warned her she would never see her husband again. After years of inaction from the Nigeria Police Force, she filed a fundamental rights enforcement suit at the High Court of Anambra State, which ordered the police to either charge her husband or produce him in court.

However, she alleges the police failed to comply and later claimed her husband had died without providing evidence. Despite court orders to release his remains for burial, she states that the police have not complied.
