Ms Odah added: “On 5th of February, 2019, two female corps members came to the divisional headquarters in Ohaukwu council area to report that on their way coming from Ezillo in Ishielu council area to Abakaliki, a jeep stopped in front of them and asked them to pay N200 each to be conveyed to Abakaliki."

 

According to the spokesman, on reaching 135 Junction at Ezzamgbo, the men diverted to another direction and told them that they wanted to pick something from a teacher at St Michael Secondary School, Ezzamgbo.

She added: “When they got to Oshiegbe community, at the boundary area between Ohaukwu and Ezza North council areas, the driver stopped and came down. He told them that he wanted to ease himself and he immediately went to the back, opened the door and pointed a gun them, ordering them to come down and give them all their cloths including their pants."

 

According to the police spokeswoman, one of the corps members shed tears when she remembered that she was in her period. Ms Odah added: “They collected their pants and her sanitary pad and drove off.

 

"Before driving off, they collected their phones and smashed them on the spot. We also learnt that when they meet women who are not wearing pants, they give them pants and force them to wear them for about five minutes before taking them away from their victims.”
