The petitioner, who said she spent 11 days in detention, claimed she was lured, beaten, and locked up as a means to arrest her husband.

The police had claimed that he was a suspect in the investigation of the alleged kidnapper, Chuwkudeme Onwuamadike popularly known as Evans, a claim the petitioner denies.
