Dear Sir,

| Assault with bodily harm, March, 2020 |
Good day. My name is Ijeoma Monica Njoku. I hail from Abia State, Nigeria. I crave your indulgence to intervene in what I consider incessant harassment of me from supposed Nigerians including members of my family and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have been under attack for several years that have included assault, burglary, theft, harassment and threat to life, property and sanctity. I would like to use this medium even though in the open to bring my problems to light and to you. I have written about these incidents in several blog posts on blogger and Wordpress. But this is the first open letter that I would write to you. My problems are convoluted. I do not understand why I have to be rattled needlessly especially using government establishments like the Nigeria Police and the Nigerian Air Force. I do not understand why these forces work with people of questionable character and cannot call them to order. Let me start from the beginning.
Ibadan, 2001: I graduated the University of Ibadan (UI) in 2004, having gained admission to study Igbo in 1999 after taking the University Matriculation Examination of 1998. Prior to this and while I was an undergraduate of the University, I experienced all sorts of theft and harassment from fellow students especially from Yoruba apologists. I lost clothing spread out to dry in the sun. This was common in the halls of residence. It was not a cool incident but other students suffered similar fate. I also suffered theft of my maintenance bursary from my family. I resided in a dormitory styled hostel accommodation called Common Room (A110) in 1999 and 2000, so I was not inclined to reporting the matter to the porters whom I felt had no solution to contribute. There were over thirty women living in a room and nobody was willing to tell me the truth each time that I lost money from my bag. I was stalked needlessly and I suspect that I am still stalked till date by one Miss Ngozi Kalu Oche, another student in that place whom I ran an errand for to one relative of hers working with J. Udeagbala, in Abayi, Aba, Abia State. I did a few of such errands between Aba and Ibadan out of my magnanimity and comradeship. I suspect that University of Ibadan graduates and/or drop outs stalk me by planting spies in my place of residence till date.
I chose to move out of Idia Hall and seek accommodation outside the University of Ibadan campus after the Idia Hall incidents. Meanwhile, I put up with another student, a former neighbour from Aba, Abia State in my second year. The neighbour, then Miss Nwanyieze Aguwa (Human Nutrition), who was accommodated in Queen Elizabeth hall squatted me and another student who called herself Miss Chinwe Nwaguru (Adult Education). All three of us were in the White House of Queen’s Hall for nearly two semesters. Miss Nwaguru and I were supposed to live together off campus. Unfortunately, I could not live in many of the off campus quarters due to their poor sanitary conditions and waited for better accommodation. Eventually, I found a room in Bodija where I paid for and moved out to. I did not bring Miss Nwaguru along because I had found her to be quite given to malice and trickery. I moved out to 3 Fadeyi Street, Old Bodija, Ibadan into a room in the boys’ quarters. There were two rooms upstairs and the other room was inhabited by Ms. Emilia Uzomah, another Igbo student who informed me of the vacancy. My acquaintance with her aided my acquisition of the rented accommodation. We both travelled out of Ibadan for Easter holiday of 2001 and returned to find our rooms burgled by unknown persons who are still lurking in my shadows. Valuables whose worth was not determined by me were removed from both rooms. We would later find some of our clothing on the premises of an uncompleted shopping mall which was built behind the building and across the fence and facing a major road in Ibadan. The caretaker of the building who was at home at the time of the incident could not give any useful information about the culprits. I lost a lot of clothes, books and other personal belongings that weekend. The perpetrators of the burglary are probably known to me and/or my roommate Ms. Uzomah but nobody has owned up to that crime committed against me or us till date. We lived in separate bedrooms but shared facilities such as bathroom, kitchen and toilet. Miss Uzomah accommodated another student Miss Clementina who lived with her but was allegedly absent at the time. They both hailed from Imo State, Miss Uzomah being from Oguta. Nothing has been done to stem the incidence of theft and most recently fumes poisoning, that has become a yearly ritual targeted at me.
I had to move out of Bodija and completed my studies at Agbowo, Ibadan. While I lived with another student one Miss Ozioma Okereke, I misplaced a manuscript of a play that I staged at the Arts Theatre, University of Ibadan. The play, Havana Blues, was staged in January, 2004. I wrote the play while I was resident in Old Bodija and gave the script to a few people to read. These people included Mr. Femi Adedeji, who worked with Dolphin Books and asked me to publish the script with them. I might have given it to Mr Jide of Kraft Books, but I am not very sure of that but most definitely, Dr. Matthew Umukoro my lecturer in Playwriting corrected the manuscript to aid my growth. I produced Havana Blues with the support of one Mr. Mbang of Ibadan, then a fellow LDS Church member. However, it was in Miss Okereke’s room that the script went missing. She was the other person who had access to the room and when I enquired from her, she denied having anything to do with the missing manuscript or having any knowledge of its whereabouts. Miss Okereke lived in Queen Elizabeth hall in her final year but kept her belongings in Kajola Street, Agbowo. She wanted to live out some more years in Ibadan after UI. I was not interested in living on campus ever again and that informed my stay in Agbowo. University of Ibadan was not managing hostel accommodation in any responsible way, especially for women. Many non students that could afford to pay for bed spaces filled the rooms and caused all sorts of harm and confusion.
Missing items: Clothes, books, SuccessDigest magazines and other personal belongings from Bodija and manuscript from Agbowo since 2001.
NYSC, Air Force Comprehensive School, Ibadan, 2004/2005: I was called to serve in the National Youth Service Corps in 2004. I did the mandatory orientation at Iseyin, Oyo State. I was posted to Air Force Comprehensive School, Ibadan for my place of primary assignment. I was given a letter of introduction from the orientation camp to the commandant of the school. I came in company of six other corps members, five came on a bus out of Iseyin. I was assigned to work with one Mr. Olufemi who taught French in the School. My degree in Igbo naturally sent me to the Language Laboratory where some other teachers of Nigerian and European languages were assigned including one Mrs. Mabel Ezeobi, who taught French to her students. I was made to share rooms with Mrs. Ezeobi, who claimed that she was from Onitsha, a mother of five children, who needed a discharge certificate rather than an exemption certificate in order to work in the federal civil service. I was not sure that I could report any anomaly to the appropriate authorities at the NYSC secretariat as I felt that they were birds of a feather. Mrs. Ezeobi and I were given Air Force customized long notebooks to write our lesson plans for French and Igbo, respectively. She opted to use her short notebook and kept that long note or did not collect it from the supervisor, Mr. Olufemi. I used the Air Force long notebook to write my Igbo lesson plans for Junior Secondary One and Senior Secondary One. That was the first time that I heard of or came in contact with that institution in particular and the Nigerian Air Force in general.
There were eight other corps members, two from the previous batch A who were generally called (Miss) Ugochi and (Mr.) Raphael. Ugochi taught Agricultural Science while Raphael taught Fine Arts. In the batch B to which I belonged were me, Miss Ijeoma Monica Njoku (Igbo), Mrs./Madame Mabel Ezeobi (French), Miss Theresa Agbugui (from Agenebode claimed that she studied Political Science but never taught a class as she stayed in the same office as Flight Lieutenant Oyekale telling stories), Mr. Nanzing Wuyep (not sure what subject he taught but it was alleged that he studied Psychology at Babcock University and was absent for most if not all of the corps year), Mr. Uche Ohagwu (Fine Arts), Ijeoma Iwuchukwu ( claimed that she taught Agricultural Science, but not sure what name she bore or the subject she taught) and Mr. Isa Abubakar (Hausa). I was not sure that it was my job to stake my future reporting the school administration to the Corps as correspondence to the NYSC secretariat was directed to pass through the employer. At the end of the corps year, I misplaced my lesson plan for Igbo language, which I had compiled for a whole year. Mrs. Ezeobi denied seeing the notebook, which was removed from my handbag. I asked two officers, then Flying Officer Peter Ayuba Garba, and then Flight Lieutenant G.O.C Oyekale if they sighted the notebook. Both denied seeing the notebook. I believed that somebody on that premises was used to steal my notebook, either for herself or for someone else.
I did not report the theft to the commandant, the Wing Commander Adetunji Oyekale because I felt that he was very biased against me and never saw anything wrong with any other corps member including Miss Agbugui who flaunted his one week break order, never taught in the classroom and shunned speaking in the assembly ground, which even Mr. Wuyep came from town to do. On departure day, a pin that I left on the table in the bedroom that I shared with Mrs. Ezeobi was pilfered by either her or Miss. Agbugui. I had the shock of my life not knowing how much women stole (for a living). I find it difficult to understand why those women were sent to the place of primary assignment for the National Youth Service Corps when they were possibly not even graduates. They were probably the oldest corps members in all of Oyo State that year and/or batch and I had to be the unfortunate tag-along. I relocated from the United States of America in 2011 and since my return, there have been semblaces of those people from Ile Igbon in Osisioma, Abia State where my family has been resident since 2009. I would not know how long those people had been planting themselves in my life and even up to the USA. Does the NYSC have the right, mandate and arrogance to stalk people and for how long? Nobody at the weekly community development services at the Lagelu secretariat did not notice that odd group from Air Force Comprehensive School, Ile Igbon/Iyana Offa and did nothing about it. I wish that redeployment was made easy, leaving AFCS, Ibadan would have been the better option. I thought the NYSC lasted a year and that camaraderie was voluntary. Why are the rules changed in my case? I was never offered permanent appointment by the Nigerian Air Force or the Federal Ministry of Defence and never asked for one.
Missing items: Air Force customized long notebook for Igbo Language and NYSC rubber breast pin.
Utah, Salt Lake City Temple Square Mission, USA 2005-2007: I could not believe that missionaries who came to preach repentace could be such thieves. Of all that happened to me, I could not understand the why any missionary would go to my suitcase and in my absence removed a bracelet that he or she did not give me or kept there. The apartment Deseret Apartment had only female residents. I also lost an umbrella given to every missionary by the mission a few days before departure in June, 2007. Other missionaries went home with their umbrellas but when I went to get mine it was gone from the bucket that held the others. I refused to go home with another because it did not have my name on it. I did not understand why the mission treated me with askance and allowed others great indulgence. Reporting my case to the mission presidency did not return the umbrella. I was the only black woman leaving the mission in that class. Perhaps racism accounted for why that had to happen that way. There has not been an explanation to me why any missionary was allowed access to another's personal effects in her absence. The other Nigerian missionary on Temple Square was Ada Onwuchekwa Obasi who allegedly hailed from Ohafia, Abia State. She came on the mission from Port Harcourt, Rivers State while I had come ahead of her from Ibadan, Oyo State. I do not accuse her of stealing but my belongings have continued to miss and she must have gone on the mission to continue the menace from the University of Ibadan.
Missing items: white pearls bracelet, umbrella and some food items, etc.
Meanwhile, I would learn from some members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in Cambridge, Massachusetts that they came calling in my absence. Nobody told me that they got into my bedroom or removed my clothing from my suitcase. I reported the matter to the police at Hyde Part but they did not know how anybody could gain entry without my help. I was and I am still bewildered how those items got missing from my bedrooms, everywhere I went. I moved out of Hyde Park to other parts of Boston yet it continued and appeared to have become a menace. I believe that Nigerians were making calls and using people in my residence to remove personal items from my bedroom causing me untold trauma and distress. I was known to a few Nigerians in the diaspora including Mr. Peter Obijiaku (who introduced me to Mr. and Mrs. Simeon and Mabel Nnah), Ms. Ifeoma Malo, Ms. Onyinye Malo, Mr. Roy Ude, Mr. Isaac Isiwele, Ms. Ifeoma Okafor Onaga (whom I met in Mr. Isiwele's house on Baird Street in Dorchester), Mr. Rowland Ugwu and his wife, Mr. Francis, Mr. Yusuf Tanko, Mr. James Malo, Mr. Oyedele, Mr. and Mrs. Simeon and Mabel Nnah, Mr. Richard Ogbebor, Mr. IK Nnah, Mr. Eze Uzoegbu, Ms. Adaobi Okereke, Ms. Martine Bernard, Ms. Jacqueline Ashby and many others. No day was anything belonging to any of them taken by me or without permission. I feel watched everywhere I go. I think by the LDS Church but through Nigerians. Everybody denied seeing any of my missing items. I have found many Nigerians to be paranoid stalkers at home and abroad.
Missing items: Various items of clothing, complimentary cards, etc.
Osisioma, Abia State, 2011: I did an emergency exit of the United States of America due to health constraints in 2011. I had left my belongings in a cubicle in Mattapan, Massachusetts with a company named Public Storage. When I arrived Nigeria, I called a few people in the United States to help me keep my personal effects till I returned for or found a way to disposed them. Eventually, I called Mr. Simeon Nnah from whose home I left for the airport in Boston for Nigeria and begged him to help me retrieve those items from Mattapan. The items included over fifty school and other books bought from various sources in the USA including Amazon. Mr. Nnah agreed to initiate conversation with the Public Storage and eventually retrieved those items from the space. I sent him a copy of the key that I had for the cubicle using the EMS of the Nigerian Postal Service. I called to find out if he got the key and he answered in the affirmative. He got help from the LDS Church missionaries to retrieve my items from the cubicle with the key that I sent him from Nigeria. He paid the last $80 bill needed for the cubicle rent. He promised to send my things down when he sent his next shipment of goods to Nigeria. This was in 2011. I would meet him again in 2015 while he came to pay a courtesy call on the governor elect, Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, and he promised to ship those books and other belongings to me in October of 2015. He gave me a gift of N4, 000 to go to the salon and redo my hair. I refused the gift finding it to be trickery but he and his brother who is now allegedly late implored me to use the money for my hair and I came back for it with the brother still with him. I never suspected him or them of conspiring with one another to deny me access to my property. He visited Nigeria in company of his daughter, Sarah. This transpired in the anxillary building of the Aba Nigeria Temple Complex of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. No shipment came to me that year to my chagrin. I chose to bid my time. He was doing me a favour; I never forgot that.
Two years later and in 2017, his wife Mrs. Mabel Nnah, called me to meet with them in that complex but I refused to go to them because I was not expecting them in Nigeria. I had waited for so long for those things and I was not sure why they were playing games with me over my property. But I implored them to meet with me at a neutral ground possibly at a public place such as an eatery or parking lot. The couple refused, citing insecurity in Nigeria as their excuse. I was sure of my own security or that I was in a safe place in the Aba Temple Complex. Eventually, on 9th September of that year, they called asking me to meet them at Osusu Amaukwa, off New Umuahia Road, Ogbor Hill to retrieve my belongings. I went calling to find much of my belongings missing but all of theirs intact. Mr. and Mrs. Simeon Nnah had moved all their belongings from their Needham home into the 40 foot container that they brought home. They had many bicycles for sale and three cars packed in the container. I asked for my books but they were nowhere in sight in the container. Two boxes were marked James and Emma but I could not determine their contents. Could they have been my books marked for two of the Nnah sons?
Mr. Simeon Nnah assured me that once he removed the items in the container including many unmarked boxes, he would check if my books were there. The wife said that they saw no books of belonging to me but the husband countered her. However, he got into a conversation with one of his relatives and got upset and threatened that if anybody suspected him he could shoot them with a gun. I did not understand him as he appeared pleasant about helping me but was turning traitor in Nigeria. It was the same in Needham, Massachusetts. He made haste to bring me to his house but once there, he no longer possessed charity. He told me he could only take pains for members of his family and offer little help to others. Needham was bad for a self starter like me who had very little resources and without much help. That informed my decision to leave and survive the USA on my own terms. In 2011 and again in 2017, he had assured me that money was not the problem as he would add my books and all to his motor parts shipment. I took the items that they removed from the container, which I recognized and left. I was in company of my mother and most of the items that I brought home eventually disappeared from our house. I did not get any of my books from the Mormons of Massachusetts. I did not understand who was coveting my meagre means. It was a terrible disappointment in people whom I considered affluent.
Mr. Nnah had promised to give me a list of what he removed for me from the Public Storage cubicle. But he gave no list to me till date. He has not returned the key nor the padlock that I sent to him and bought to lock my cubicle. He did not state that he used them for payment for his help to me, or had them returned to Public Storage. I was not attuned to any chagrin of theirs and knew no heathen practices of that family and never suspected of any foul play. They were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to which I had belonged and never knew if they performed any sorcery or mysticism for which I would have made a different decision. The only possible grouse that I could think of would be the wife's suggestion that that I marry her son, Mr. IK Nnah, which was not a pleasing proposal to either me or him (IK). Mr. Simeon Nnah had promised me several times that my books were intact and that he would make them available to me upon arrival in Nigeria. I have asked people to intervene including one Mr. David Eka, a president of their Temple in Aba who has brought no positive result or change from the couple. Mr. Nnah was never useful in Massachusetts nor in Nigeria. I got back my personal care products which I bought in 2010 and were expired by 2017. I have missing clothes, books and even boxes and some shoes. He had given me several excuses before he came to Nigeria and told Mr. Eka that he was building a house in his village of Umunkiri upon which completion he would make the books available. I have no reason that they are not making a fool of me. I even suspect that he has colluded with my family to treat me with utter disrespect, which generally informed my decision to withdraw from the pagan ways of the Mormon/LDS church or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Missing items: Public Storage padlock and key, clothes, books (over 40-50 from the USA), shoes, boxes, bowls, refrigerator, reading table and chair, etc.
Umuara, Osisioma, Abia State and Theft in the Family: I have since been missing personal items even in my own home and environs in Aba/Osisioma, possibly to call my bluff or shame me for coming home broke. Those items that have gone missing include items of clothing and handkerchiefs, household items such as trolleys, perfumes, bathroom cleaning brushes, plates and bowls, make up kit, etc, which most have gone missing from a locked bedroom. I do not know or understand how my stay in the USA has affected anybody in Nigeria. I have only got help from family. I am perplexed how anybody would go into a room that they were not given a spare key and remove items that they did not keep. My family has accommodated strangers in the house under all guises including marriages, house help and relatives. Their stay has always seen me missing an item in my locked bedroom. I wonder whether I am suffering the menace of Osu, the Igbo outcast that has no respect for another human being. While I have not caught anybody red handed I am aware that those items that have gone missing have not returned and I cannot explain why such event has continued unabetted. I have refused to reinitiate move to return to the USA even with the family's suggestion, to complete my studies for reason that nothing has changed in the Nigerian whom I would meet anywhere in the world.
Missing items: BBC News Igbo flash drive, items of clothing, perfumes, handkerchiefs, make up kit, etc.

Assault with bodily harm: I had previously reported incidents of other assault and harassment to the Abayi Police Station in Osisioma without much assistance. I was assaulted by my family in 2015 and again in 2017 and 2020 possibly incited by the Nnahs while they kept my belongings.This time and during the lock down of 2020, I spent all the money for upkeep attending sessions at the Abayi police station without getting any help from the police officers. They told me to reconcile with the devil and I am not interested in such vain ambition and quest. I have lost money and time reporting my family to the police officers of Abayi, which though meagre was all that I had in my possession. I brought police report from Teaching Hospital, Abayi, Abia State to the police station and asked the case charged to court. The prosecutor, officer Ruth treated it like political gamble and possibly advised my assailant to report me to the Aba Area Command. This tactic truncated justice because that was how the police preferred to work. All that record could possibly be gone with the fire incident that affected the station. All I needed was that the police investigate Mrs. Chekwubechi Irene whom I felt the Nnahs and other people in the USA were using to traumatize my life. She was from Mbaise, Imo State and it was possible she was being sponsored by people known to me. This was not done and she has remained adamant in using our home as a dumping ground for her refuse.

Fumes poisoning: Last week, I called the prosecutor of the assault case one officer Doris to report a case of fumes poisoning from my assailants Mr. Richard Chijioke Njoku and his partner Ms. Chekwubechi Irene Njoku to the police. They have in the last few weeks been placing the family gasoline generator in such a way that it left my bedroom in poisonous fumes nearly every night. They left the generator turned on till (12) midnight giving me sleepless nights and poisoning nearly every night since two weeks. I asked him to reposition the generator without compliance. The generator is placed several metres away from his area of residence while it caused terrible noise in our own area. They leave the generator when not in use in the passage that my mother and I use, blocking the way and traffic. I have reported the matter to the Umuara village monarch one Eze Christian Iheme who promised to reach him but he has not succeeded in changing the bad behaviour. As I am writing this piece, the generator is still packed in the doorway and obstructing traffick until it is taken outside to cause fumes poisoning at night. The dictionary defines fumes as poisonous smoke that is dangerous to inhale.

Unemployment: I got employed by the Local Government Service Commission of Abia State in January, 2019 but the service was suspended for me and my cohort. The government has failed to give reasons for this decision. This incident has greatly hampered my ability to seek justice for the evil that I have endured or find alternative residence. The family residence was not built or provided for by the menacing couple that has taken over the family residence including the kitchen and other facilities. The Abia State civil service under Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has been found to be full of irregularities in employment, competence and identity. I believe that the incidents at the Abayi police station and teaching hospital took away the job. There is no apparent correlation between the events but there is no smoke without fire and walls do have ears. This was the first job that I would receive from the Abia State Civil Service whether in the state ministries or the local government since graduating university in 2004 or even before. I am not able to fend for myself and even my businesses are hampered by stalkers especially members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who would always find their way to any entity that I am attached. The police could look into the stalking tendencies of the LDS Church, which has infiltrated every major establishment in the country, the most recent being at the NIPOST, Umungasi, Aba. I do not stalk anybody and I have no reason to do so. The LDS Church mission that I fulfilled to Utah, USA did not empower me or anybody else to be a stalker. Stalking is not a day or an official job.
Harassment: My family residence enjoys two sets of facilities, front end and back end. Since Ms. Chekwubechi Irene Njoku joined my family in December, 2017 she has been nothing but a menace mandating her maids to use my toilet and bathroom. She caused so much trouble that the younger brother and his wife who had welcomed her left the house for their own rented space. This was positive outcome but it came after much strife, suspicion and conflict. Ms. Chekwubechi Njoku has continously left her children's soiled diapers unattended in the backyard leaving them to lie around exposing the human waste for all to see since 2018. She has never gone to burn the refuse. Marriage must forbid such from taking place. She neither uses the Abia State Environmental Protection Agency (ASEPA) bins that are only a stone throw from her shop on Okpu Umuobo Road, Aba nor conducts maintenance of the dump because it does not fall within her area. She leaves all her kitchen wastes in the same backyard unattended, where my mother and her supposed mother-in-law farms her vegetables yearly. She has refused to regularly clean up the compound as she was believed to have agreed to do before her marriage. She makes loud noises in the compound when talking to her house help or her children often slamming doors at any speed and intensity that she wanted.

That's how my backyard looks even this Easter Monday morning 18/04/2022 |
Since March 2019 she has kept eleven (11) house helps in the house bringing them from unknown sources including Akwa Ibom State without knowing their intent or health status. I am not sure whether the couple is engaged in child trafficking but many of them moved away to unknown destinations. She forces me to leave my house open to strangers whose contacts are unknown to me. I believe that she must be working as an agent of her church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as the leaders have failed to call her to order or a criminal gang. She must be the ring leader of a cult that is waiting to strike the neighbourhood possibly in no distant time. All sorts of theft have been going on in the neighbourhood. I do not know her sources of income. She brings in maids from any source and makes them use our side of the house including a bedroom, our toilet and bathroom. She and her husband who is believed to be my brother, have use of three bedrooms and their facilities without me ever going into them. It is not in my character to be a menace and enjoy such notoriety.
I am not aware that they pay rent to our mother who built the family house for all to use until they can afford own accommodation. I suspect that she goes into my bedroom without my knowledge and removes personal belongings for her dark practices. She has on many occasions incited her husband to violence including before she joined the house in December, 2017. I reported the matter to people in our village including to the paramount ruler, Eze Nwamaranna. I had told the family that they did not investigate her life before agreeing to the marriage. I had sensed her violence from the beginning and warned that how she treated my mother's maid, one girl from Enugu State called Ogechi was prototype of who she was. The family said that it did not matter that Ogechi was rude and deserved the beating. Nobody would tell me what they used the house girl to do to me but found it pleasant to dump her when she was no longer needed or useful. The husband denied that anything was removed from my bedroom at the Abayi Police Station, possibly making the police officer not to believe me. He denied things that happened while he was believed to be resident in South Africa! This was before his return to live in Osisioma in December, 2019 that has started all sorts of cell phone collusions. They have two entrances to their side of the building but choose not to use them but mess up my side of the building. She or her husband broke into our toilet and left the lock not repaired because her maids were deterred from messing up the place. I have several things to say about this couple but in a nutshell, I would like you to use your office to call them and other people to order. I have a few suggestions to make in order to make the Nigeria Police Force more responsive.
Phones: Cell phone offenses have not been a thing to talk about in Nigeria. I believe that all phone calls should be monitored to stem the incidence of incitement to violence that often warrant all sorts of crimes including homicide. Phone ministry is a thriving business in Nigeria. It has no censorship and no government seal and approval. All my calls are monitored and recorded, why not others too?
Free Police Entry: Entry of reports and cases in police stations should be free of charge to Nigerians and other members of the public. After all, all that is needed for entry are notebooks and pens. I do not understand why the police charge for reporting of issues at police stations.
Receipt: Police stations should issue police receipts for any transaction that requires monetary payment. I could not document how much I spent in police fees at the Abayi Police Station. There was no way I could use them for claims in any way even if my job or the court allowed me to.
Spies: The Nigeria Police Force should discourage use of spies by members of her force as it does not augur well for justice. Spies are hardly guiltless. So, how could the pot call the kettle black? Spies are often going to lie to the officer in order to look useful and thus hamper due process and justice. They destroy homes and make mountains out of any/every molehill in order to earn recognition and compensation.
Frequent Offender Dossier/Docket/Database: The Nigeria Police Force possibly has this but it must make public a frequent offender dossier/database to members of the public so that anybody with a history of being a frequent offender must be known to all and sundry. This could stem the tide of identity opportunism and other civil and criminal offences in the country. They would liaise with the National Identity Management Commission for this to take serious effect. Background worthiness could aid people to stop being a menace to others.
Police 411: The Nigeria Police Station should through her public relations department educate Nigerians on their rights and duties as citizens. A hotline that could help people to determine if their rights have been violated can be set up to harness such information and obligation. Domestic violence is not only between spouses. My mother has been threatened on several occasions by my brother. I have reported assault yet I do not know how to seek redress because I do not know where to get fair hearing.
Conflict Resolution: Quick response to reports and problems would stress less use of conflict as a means of getting even in Nigeria. Conflict resolution is not used in criminal cases/matters in the USA. The same ideology should be adopted in Nigeria. Civil cases only could use the alternative route to settling disputes.
I have written a long letter reporting people who are mostly members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for holding and stealing my personal effects. I would like the Nigeria Police to invite Mr. Simeon Nnah to reveal where he has kept my personal effects. I would also like the police to establish Mr. Simeon Nnah and Mabel Nnah with their family members, Ms. Philomena Ngozi Nwoko, Ms. Chinwe Chinweobi Nwaguru, Ms. Emilia Ndali Uzomah, Mr. Richard Chijioke Njoku and Ms. Chekwubechi Irene Njoku, Mrs. Jessie Njoku and other members of the Njoku and such family members as frequent offenders who have caused me harm and great difficulty in the last decade or more as elaborated above.
I could be reached at ijenjoku@gmail.com or 08034587466 if I would be needed for questioning. Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Ijeoma M. Njoku.
