Anambra police command warns against raising money to secure release of mother accused of sexu@lly exploiting her 7-year-old daughter

The police in Anambra has warned that it would not allow anyone to raise money to secure the release of Anulika Onyeanusia, the 36-year-old woman arrested for allegedly using her 7-year-old daughter to create adult content.

The Anambra State Police Command has issued a stern warning against any attempts to crowdsource or mobilize funds aimed at securing the release or manipulating the legal defense of Anulika Onyeanusia. The 36-year-old woman was recently arrested in Onitsha for allegedly sexually exploiting her underage daughter to produce explicit adult content for financial gain.

The warning was officially made public by the command’s spokesperson, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, who revealed that intelligence monitoring discovered online comments indicating that certain individuals were planning to contribute money to secure the suspect’s release.

This directive follows an alarm raised by Delta State-based activist, Joe Isreal. He exposed an alleged plot involving wealthy foreign buyers of child pornography who are reportedly attempting to pull substantial financial resources together. The activist claimed that their goal is to hire a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) to distort the narrative, obstruct the course of justice, and unlawfully influence the police investigation.

Speaking to newsmen in the state recently, Ikenga said;

“We saw comments that some people are contributing money to look for a way to secure the release of the Nigerian mother who sexually abused her 7-year-old daughter and used her to create adult content. But we assure Nigerians that under our watch, we won’t allow it to happen,” the spokesperson said in a video seen by SaharaReporters.

Ikenga said the comments about the alleged fundraising had also become part of the police investigation, adding that they could provide leads about other people who may be connected to the case.

“These comments also form part of our investigation atleast, it has shown that there are some persons behind what the woman is doing. From the revelation of the woman, you would observe it’s a syndicate crime and if need be, we will partner with our colleagues in the international community.”
