Former Super Falcons striker, Maureen Madu, has demanded for ₦10 million as compensation from the Anambra State police command following the injuries and other damages sustained from an alleged police brutality.
Some personnel suspected to be operatives of Anti Cult Unit from zone 13 Ukpo invaded her academy, Maureen Madu Kiddies Football Academy, Ozubulu in Ekwusigo Local Government Area (LGA), brutalised players, smashed and seized their phones before taking them away in handcuffs.
Speaking to journalists at Anambra State Police command in Amawbia, Awka South LGA, Maureen Madu, who led a protest to the command, said she had spent about ₦10 million on treatment of herself and the kiddies wounded, including phones, items damaged and other expenses.
She recalled that a man registered his daughter in her academy for summer coaching but failed to provide her and later turned around to label allegations of armed gangsterism, attempted child trafficking and threat to life against her in a bid to evade his indebtedness.
She demanded that the man who left his daughter with her for four months should prove his case or pay damages with an apology adding that police should exonerate itself by ensuring that those who invaded her academy and humiliated her and her players without investigation are made to face the consequences of their unprofessional conduct.
