Immigration washes hands off female officer that brutalised security officers

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has practically washed its hands off the female officer, Mrs. Stella Anugwa, an Assistant Comptroller, that brutalised security officers.

It could be recalled that News band reported on June 29 that the power-drunk female officer, on Sunday, 18th June 2023, brutally assaulted, maimed and hospitalised three of the security officers of Penthouse Estate III located at Lugbe-Pyakasa in Abuja.

According to the report, trouble started when Anugwa’s son breached the security protocol at the entrance gate of the estate, refusing to stop for a check of his car before driving into the Estate.

When one of the security officers, Ernest Momoh, attempted to make him comply with the check protocol, the young man jumped out of the car, harassed the guard physically and slapped him.

Reacting in self-defense, the guard responded accordingly and the chief of the guards, Peter Abayol, who witnessed the incident, intervened to separate them but the brat reportedly called the mother.

That was when armed NIS security escort to Anugwa, evidently at her behest, arrived at the scene and unleashed mayhem on the guards.

Eyewitnesses said that they descended on the guard and when they were done with them, the heavily brutalised guards were left battered and bruised and rushed to a nearby health center, Modern Times Pharmacy, for first aid treatment.

News Band reached out to Mrs. Anugwa who promised to respond but never did so.

This medium also contacted the Nigeria Immigration Service over the conduct of their personnel via email but no response was received at the moment of this publication.

However, in a later response, NIS Servicom noted that Anugwa’s case should be prosecuted by appropriate authority.

Servicom, after thanking News Band for bringing the matter before the Immigration Service, stated: “This is a civil case and should be handled by the appropriate authority.”

This medium was also reliably informed that the owner of the security company has invited the Police but that the woman has refused to respond to the police.

When contacted, the owner of the security company, Mr. Ezenwa said that he has handed the matter over to the police and that he expects them to do the needful.

When asked if he has reservations for prosecution, he raised no objections and said the authorities know what to do in the given matter. Read more.
