SP Daniel Ndukwe,
The Enugu State Police Command, on 25th October 2025, received a complaint from 29-year-old Okonkwo Chisom at the Emene Police Division, alleging that her husband, Okonkwo Ozioma, had defiled their two daughters, aged five and three, and threatened her if she disclosed the abuse.
Following Ozioma’s arrest and a thorough investigation, the allegations were found to be false and misleading.
According to SP Daniel Ndukwe, Public Relations Officer of the Enugu Police Command, investigations revealed that the periods in 2024 and 2025 cited by Chisom coincided with times she had traveled alone with the children to their hometown in Imo State.
Additionally, in two separate handwritten voluntary statements, their seven-year-old son exonerated his father and revealed that Chisom had coached him and his sisters to make false accusations, a claim corroborated by video evidence.
Chisom also attempted to withdraw the case after realizing the investigation was uncovering the truth.
As a result, Chisom was charged with defamation and providing false information to the police.
She was arraigned before a Magistrate Court in Enugu, granted bail, and the case was adjourned for further hearing.
Commissioner of Police, Mamman Bitrus Giwa, praised the State Intelligence Department detectives for their impartial investigation and reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to fairness and professionalism.
He warned that anyone found making false or malicious allegations would face prosecution under the law.
