Speaking to Harrison after her release, Chiamaka said:
"It was my boyfriend that collected the towel. He collected it and kept it in my house. New towel. When the vigilante people came to our compound with the owner of the towel, they saw it and took me to police.
"Nobody came to the police station to come and bail me. They took me to court. I want to do hairdressing."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that it is sad that many young people are held in prisons for varying offences. A young Nigerian lady still in her teenage years suffered the fate of being remanded in prison.
Fortunately, she finished her West African Examination Council (WAEC) exams before going into custody. Thankfully, some well-meaning Nigerians, under Harrison Gwamnishu, did not leave her case to fate and decided to help in all ways possible to secure her earliest release.
When she was released, she was asked if she wanted to further her education or learn a trade. She said she wanted to return to school since her WAEC result was good enough to secure her admission to a tertiary institution. One of her benefactors promised to sponsor her undergraduate studies from the 100 Level to graduation.
