The Anambra State Police Command at the weekend, paraded a 22-year-old man, Chigozie Ugwu, for stealing 52 women’s underwear.
The suspect said he indulges in the act to satisfy his sexual urge, claiming that he was not aware that his action was an offence until security operatives arrested him.
According to him, he feels the urge to have sexual intercourse any time he picked a woman’s undies.
Ugwu who was among the 15 suspected cult members and armed robbers paraded at the state command’s headquarters, told The Punch he had no girlfriend and pleaded that the police should release him.
Ugwu said, “I didn’t know that it was an offence to take women’s pants. I don’t have any girlfriend. So, each time I am with any woman’s underwear, I feel like I am making love, that’s why I go about picking and keeping women’s pants.
“I didn’t know it was an offence until the police arrested me. Please, tell them to release me. I didn’t intend to steal those things. I think it’s a spiritual problem,” he added.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Ali Okechukwu, parading the suspects, said all hands were on deck to curb crime in the state.
Okechukwu thanked the people of the state for availing the police of useful information that resulted in the successes recorded by the command.
