before his transfer to Imo State Police Command, as a killer, murderer and mastermind of violence and criminal expeditions, further confessed that she accused Agbazue of shedding innocent blood for pecuniary gains.
Investigations by this journalist revealed that Eucharia Ozoemenam does not know ACP Patrick Chukwuemeka Agbazue and has equally not met him in person or had any personal encounter with him at least to justify her claims. Rather she acted on what she lifted from TikTok and amplified it on her Facebook post just to destroy the image and reputation of the senior police officer.
