IGP monitoring Unit Lagos takes action on ASP Cosmas Ezeofor of State CID Panti over confiscation of a Mercedes Benz GLK, Gold Chain, other properties belonging to a suspect on the order of suspect’s estranged wife.
The latter happened during a fall out between Mr Vincent Okoloneli and his estranged wife Mrs Onyiye Angela Anaka of 12 years after transactional record shows the couple had co-financed properties acquired in the course of marriage.
In a petition to the Inspector General of Police sighted by Naomisophyblog from a human rights organization AMPEF who took over the case of Mr Vincent Okoloneli to ensure justice, an arrest was effected by ASP Cosmas Ezeofor of State CID Panti on Vincent Okoloneli ordered by madam Onyiye Angela Anaka on allegation of theft proven to be falsehood as the couple during the course of marriage had acquired properties with joint resources.

Sir,
Conduct Of Conspiracy, Torture, Intimidation, Forceful Confiscation Of Mercedes Benz GLK 2013, Gold Chain And Other Properties Belonging To Mr Vincent Okoloneli By Onyinye Angela Anaka and ASP Cosmas Emeka Ezeofor aka Tam Tam of State CID Panti , Lagos For Demand For One Million Naira Bail Bond Over False Allegations Against Okoloneli
Ambassadors of Peace and Enlightenment Foundation AMPEF (Voice of The Voiceless) is standing as an advocate for the rights of one Mr Osita Vincent Okoloneli who was supposedly intimidated, harassed and dehumanized by a Police officer serving at the State CID Panti ASP Cosmas Emeka Ezeofor aka Tam-Tam of D16 Section over failure to meet N1m bail condition.
Our client Mr Osita Vincent Okoloneli has marital issues with his estranged wife Mrs Onyiye Angela Anaka whom upon investigation is the recent dating partner of the ASP Cosmas Ezeofor.
Mr & Mrs Okoloneli (couple in dispute) had business transactions involving a rented property on Lagos Island which had led to ensuing dispute between the husband and the wife.
During the unsettled money dispute between the couple, the wife left home without communicating reasons to her husband but came back 3 Months later to destroy marriage photos and demanded our client, her husband vacate the said apartment for her alone to occupy.
Mr Vincent Okoloneli heeding to advice of inlaws and immediate families kept mute all through this period of rancour which infuriated his wife Mrs Onyiye Angela further, leading to a return of her bride price by her family to finally dissolve the marriage.
The threats ,confiscation of assets, and strange cars bringing Mrs Onyiye Angela Anaka( wife) home which includes the car of ASP Cosmas Ezeofor led our client Mr Vincent Okoloneli to approach Area F command where he submitted a petition on “Threat to life, character assassination and conduct likely to cause breach of peace.
The IPO named Tina invited Mrs Onyiye Angela twice before she showed up, our client was then called to attend the resolution meeting but was surprised that as he turned up at area F command, he was immediately moved into a waiting vehicle to State CID Panti as orchestrated by ASP Cosmas Emeka Ezeofor who took charge of the case with the aim of manipulating and intimidating our client to confiscate his assets in favour of Mrs Onyiye Angela Anaka.
Our client Mr Vincent was detained,tortured and dehumanized leading to head injuries as well as ordered to pay a bail of one million naira to free himself.
While he was in detention at SCID, Panti, ASP Ezeofor led a search party to our client’s new apartment (after wife forced him out their matrimonial home ). The search party took some of his property including documents, gold chain, wristwatches, bank tellers, receipts with handcuffs on his hands and leg cuffs. Our client lamented that he was taken to his house in handcuffs like a common criminal while his wife was busy taking his pictures , sent it to his business partners to end his business career. Let’s not forget that the aim of our client was to put a stop to the threat he gets from his wife and her boyfriends and also to preserve his hard earned property before he was intimidated into being the offender.
The one million naira bail couldn’t be met as demanded by ASP Cosmas Ezeofor, so he resulted to forceful confiscation of our client car for sale by means of coercion and intimidation.
ASP Cosmas Ezeofor told our client to order his sales man to bring a specific GLK to a customer hiding his identity so as to aid the sales man’s compliance, Mr Vincent our client declined at first but was further beaten with handcuffs leading to a visible cut on his head. Seeing the result of his resistance, our client gave into Ezeofor’s demands and also paid N100, 000 as part of the bail fine. ASP Ezeofor said he will release the car only if N1m is paid as bail condition but he didnt.
Rather , Ezeofor charged the case to court leading our client to be remanded for 3 weeks in prison custody based on false allegations. After meeting up with bail conditions in Court, he was directed to AMPEF, a human rights body over violation of his fundamental rights by ASP Ejiofor in connivance with Onyinye Angela Anaka.
Our clients demands to have his Unregistered Mercedes Benz GLK 2013 valued at N20 million forcefully confiscated and other valuables taken from his apartment which includes his landed documents, his gold chain amounting to N7.8m, his documents, tellers, receipts, international passport.
Note: This matter started since 2021 till date and had gone through several police channels starting from Area F to State CID Panti, Zone 2 Command, FCIID Alagbon and presently being addressed by IGP monitoring unit Lagos. DC Ayilara of State CID Panti reacted to petition by AMPEF in 2023 and ordered a full investigation to bring ASP Ezeofor to order but was truncated by the Assistant commissioner in charge as assigned by DC Ayilara waheed.
Information has it that Mrs Onyiye Angela Anaka throws money around to officers in a bid to truncate justice and has succeeded thus far until IGP monitoring unit Lagos took over the case and refused any form of backyard settlement.
All previous police channels the case was registered ends up doing our client’s ex-wife biddings as soon as she shows up with money with the help of ASP Cosmas Ezeofor.
ASP Cosmas Emeka Ezeofor charged the matter before Yaba Magistrate Court but the Magistrate in charge struck out the matter which Ezeofor was using as an excuse to stop further investigation.
We hereby attach CTC of the matter struck out at Yaba Magistrates Court.
DEMANDS:
Sir, AMPEF as Human Rights body is asking for your intervention to wade into this matter and bring airing officer ASP Cosmas Emeka Ezeofor to book for truncating a case, torture and dehumanization melted out on our client by to forcefully collecting his personal properties from our client.
We also urge the commission to order the immediate return of properties taken from our client as well as the removal of such elements from the Nigerian Police tarnishing the image of Police.
Attached with this letter is pictures of our client when tortured by ASP Cosmos Emeka Ejiofor, the Unregistered Mercedes Benz GLK 2013, a copy of the gold chain which is yet to be returned since 2021.
Sir please attend to this matter urgently because of the state of our client who needs justice urgently because of the state of his mind on the horror experience he had suffered in the hands of Onyinye Angela Anaka and ASP Cosmas Ezeofor.
Your Sincerely,
Comrade Prince Saviour Iche
President AMPEF
Following this petition, the IGP monitoring unit Lagos had swinged into action to investigate the erring officer along sides the estranged wife of Vincent Okoloneli who claimed she’s sold the vehicle confiscated and has done so by right.
The commanding officer of IGP Monitoring Unit Lagos ACP O.M Oladeinde has ordered that the vehicle and other properties taken by ASP Cosmas Ezeofor be submitted and returned to the rightful owner. Meanwhile, Okoloneli’s estranged wife offered to pay #500,000 as compensation, unwilling to return the properties of her ex-husband. The case is ongoing as the IGP Unit proceeds with assertion.
The case has elicited reactions from many who describes Onyiye Angela’s actions as a delusional attempt to destroy a man she once promised to love.
