The general public is hereby notified that the person whose name and photograph appear above is wanted by the Nigerian Police Force in Onitsha, Onitsha North Local Government Area, Anambra State, South-East Nigeria.

A warrant of arrest has been duly issued by a Magistrate Court in Anambra State in connection with a case of lesbianism involving her partner, Ikuni Odili, when they were in Ado Girls Secondary School, Inland Town, Onitsha. They were accused of engaging in same-sex activity (sodomy), contrary to the provisions of the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act, 2014, Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. On the 15th of December, 2023, Chiwetalu Ifeyinwa Sylvia was reported by her husband, Mr. Emeka Chiwetalu, at Inland Town Police Station, Onitsha, Anambra State, in a case involving the killing of her lesbian partner, Ikuni Odili, when they were in Ado Girls Secondary School, Inland Town. The school’s gateman caught them in the act and reported the issue to the school principal the next day.

When Chiwetalu Ifeyinwa Sylvia failed to come to school, the principal handed the matter over to the community, where angry youths beat her lesbian partner to death and deposited her body at the Inland Town Police Station. However, during investigation, the Inland Town Police went to her house and arrested her father, Mr. Augustine Obiekwe, because he could not provide his daughter. The husband stated that the suspect, whom he married, was a lesbian and that she caused the killing of her partner, Ikuni Odili, before fleeing. He also said he had caught her several times with another lesbian girlfriend and presented a photograph of Ifeyinwa Chiwetalu with a naked lesbian girlfriend as evidence to the police while making his report. Since then, she has remained at large and unreachable. The suspect’s last known address is Abulado Shoba, Festac Phase 2, Lagos State. Members of the public with useful information on her whereabouts are kindly requested to report immediately to the nearest police station or contact the Divisional Police Officer, Lion Building Headquarters, Abuja.

A cash reward will be given for credible information leading to her arrest.
