ACP Patrick Agbazue Not a Killer, Says Suspect

Suspect

By Raymond Ozoji, Awka

Eucharia Ozoemenam, a native of Ifite-Ogwari in Ayamelum Local Government Area of Anambra State and a resident of Awka, has confessed that she deliberately published false and defamatory statements against Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Patrick Chukwuemeka Agbazue on her Facebook page.
Ozoemenam had previously described the senior police officer—who was at the time in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Annex, Awkuzu, in Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State before his transfer to Imo State Police Command—as a killer, murderer, and mastermind of violence and criminal expeditions.
She also accused him of shedding innocent blood for pecuniary gain.
However, investigations by our reporter revealed that Eucharia Ozoemenam neither knows ACP Patrick Chukwuemeka Agbazue personally nor has she ever met or had any encounter with him that could justify such grave allegations.
Further findings showed that she relied entirely on unverified content lifted from TikTok, which she amplified on Facebook with the intention of gaining attention and followers, thereby causing reputational damage to the senior police officer.
Further investigations also revealed that ACP Patrick Chukwuemeka Agbazue, during his tenure as Officer-in-Charge of the State CID Annex, Awkuzu, discharged his duties diligently.
He was found to have ensured that officers under his command were disciplined, responsive to duty calls, and proactive in combating crime, with commendable results recorded during his service.
The defamatory Facebook post, made on December 29, last year, triggered security interest and led to Ozoemenam’s arrest on January 1, 2026.
In her voluntary confession, Eucharia Ozoemenam stated unequivocally that the post was made in error and that all the allegations she made against ACP Agbazue were borne out of ignorance, unfounded malice, and a desire to attract followers to her Facebook page.
She said:“I hereby formally retract and sincerely apologise for my earlier post concerning Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Patrick Agbazue. The statement was made in error, having relied on a misleading and unverified video circulating online.
ACP Patrick Agbazue, who has been promoted over the years in recognition of his professionalism and dedication to duty, is an innocent and highly respected police officer who has served Anambra State and Nigeria with integrity.
He is not a killer, murderer, sponsor of violence, nor is he in any way connected to any act of massacre or criminality. The allegations previously shared were false and unfounded.
I deeply regret the harm my earlier post may have caused to his person, reputation, and service record. Having now met him personally, I can attest to his professionalism, character, commitment to duty, and his role as a responsible father.
I use this medium to urge the public to always verify information before sharing, as ignorance of the law is not an excuse.
Once again, I offer my unreserved apology to ACP Patrick Agbazue.”
Meanwhile, ACP Patrick Chukwuemeka Agbazue, a high-profile police officer, has since been transferred from Anambra State and is currently serving the nation at the Imo State Police Command, where he is one of the Area Commanders”
