As reported by Vanguard, on Friday, March 29, she was thrown into deep sorrow following the loss of her pregnancy during eight days of detention at the Zone 13 Police Headquarters, Ukpo, Anambra state.
According to the report, the police had to arrest Mmesoma when they could not lay hands on her husband over a land dispute in the area.
An indigene of the community, Mr. Jude Ikeanyionwu, shed more light on the development.
He noted that the dispute has torn the area apart and called on the state governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, and other state stakeholders to intervene in the worrisome situation before it leads to the loss of more lives.
Ikeanyionwu said:
“Mmesoma’s husband is a member of the community’s vigilante group and one of those opposed to the illegal attempt to sell our communal land by some of our elders.
“For eight days she was in detention and it was during this period that she had a miscarriage and lost her three months pregnancy. The police had to let her go when she was almost dying in detention.”
