CITIZENS COMPASS —Facts emerged on Wednesday, November 29, 2023, that the starkly naked women who staged an Anti-Police protest in Awka, Anambra State were hired to the tune of N500, 000 each. 

Recall that in a viral video, the women stormed the Anambra Police Command, Awka, to protest against cult related activities in Awka and its environs. 

However, it was learnt that a businessman was the financier of the protest in order to discredit the Force. 

He was said to have hired the women and offered them N500,000 each to stage the protests. 

The ladies who were seen in a trending video were completely naked chanting against alleged police conspiracy in the rise of cult and other criminal activities were procured for the job. 

The police have since arrested the businessman who they claimed hired the ladies for the purpose of blackmailing the police from further pursuing a criminal case against him. 

In the video, the naked women were joined with men and others drawn from twenty villages of four quarters in Awka to demand the removal of DCP Akin Fakorede and one Inspector Monday Umana who they accused of conspiracy with the promoters of cult activities.

A community leader dismissed the naked women as being from Awka asking whether an Igbo woman can go nude in her community. 

The State Police Command has also dismissed the protesters as hired ladies.

The command in a statement said: “Emerging Facts from the Naked Women Protest in Awka, against the Police Command: If they say that the naked women in the protest against the Anambra State Police Command are widows from Awka, let them provide us with their names and addresses so the Command can visit them and find out how their husbands died.

“They should provide the names of those arrested and the date suspects were brought to the command by Blue Shield Operatives before they were later released by the Police as they claimed,“ as the Anambra police command dismissed the naked ladies as having been imported.
