The Abia State Police Command has reportedly arrested family members of Ms. Gift Chinyere Solomon, a surrogate mother of a set of male twins, and took them into their custody.
The illegal arrest according to series of tweets from a Human Rights Lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, was aimed to seize the twins from their genetic and biological mother after she rightfully decided to retain custody of her children.
Effiong revealed that the arrest is instigated by a Nigerian/American couple, Mr. Gamaliel Onyeka Onyemaobi and his wife Mrs. Shullam Onyemaobi who failed to to fulfill the promises they made to the surrogate mother.
He said Mrs. Ngozi Solomon and her family members, namely: Mr. George Solomon (brother) and Ms. Joy Solomon (sister) were arrested and have been detained for the last five (5) days.
The Human Rights Lawyer noted that “the police while arresting our client’s sister, Ms. Joy Solomon, stripped her almost naked, dragged, tortured and brutalized her in the full glare of the public. The detainees are being kept in the most dehumanizing condition.
“The couple who instigated the police to do these nefarious acts would never succeed in recruiting the American Police to play this dirty role for them. They did not also seek the services of surrogates in America because of the huge financial implications.
They came to Nigeria where they thought they could exploit our client, and where they can easily recruit the services of the Nigeria Police Force to do their bidding.”
Effiong called on the Nigerian Government, the Inspector General of Police, American Embassy in Nigeria, the media, international community and the general public to call CP Agbede to order.
He further demanded the immediate and unconditional release of the detainees and urge the police to stay-off this case and concentrate on the rising crimes in the country.
