There was a mild drama at the Ojodu
Police Division, Lagos State on Saturday over the arrest of a woman,
Mrs. Joy Idenyi, by two policemen from the Bauchi State Police Command.
Idenyi’s arrest was prompted by a
warrant from a Bauchi Magistrate’s Court B for the alleged abduction of
her niece, Patience Joseph. Patience’s father, Joseph, had reportedly
made an application to that effect.
While waiting for the policemen to complete the paper work at Ojodu, Joy told PUNCH Metro that she received a call around 10am on Saturday from her neighbours that her husband, Shuaibu, had been arrested.
She said, “When I got the call that my
husband had been taken to the Ojodu Police Station. I rushed down there
to discover that Patience’s father was there. The policemen had come
with a warrant for my arrest – for allegedly abducting Patience.”
Denying the claim, Joy said Patience had fled to Lagos sometime last year.
She said, “Patience came to me because
she did not want to marry the man that her parents had arranged for her
and I tried to help as best as I could.”
