The victim's father, Chijioke Anaba, accused Eastern Ngwa Police Division of demanding N30,000 to investigate the case. "I paid, but I fear the suspect may be released," he said, disputing police claims that Nwaubani is mentally unstable.
However, Abia Police PRO DSP Maureen Chinaka denied the bribery allegation, stating: "We have no such report. The suspect has been arrested, and investigations are ongoing."
