The commercial bustling city of Onitsha will soon become a crime free zone as a new name is emerging in the field of crime investigation and justice.
Pechilly Investigative Limited, a private investigative firm owned by Ambassador Karen Chinyere James, is committed to bringing justice to victims of crime and restoring integrity to the field of journalism in Nigeria.
Founded by Ambassador Karen since 2016, Pechilly Investigative Limited specialises in media investigations, crime investigations, interrogation, criminal justice, and the arrest and handover of suspects to the appropriate law enforcement agencies. According to Ambassador Karen, true journalism goes beyond news reports and press briefings—it involves deep investigations that expose crimes and hold perpetrators accountable.
“Journalism is not just about news and press briefings. It’s about pursuing truth and justice,” Ambassador Karen explains. “In parts of Nigeria, journalists face disrespect and diminished credibility. At Pechilly, we are here to change that narrative by upholding honesty, transparency, and integrity in our work.”
Pechilly Investigative Limited aims to be a voice for those who have lost hope, serving as a bridge between victims and justice. The company emphasizes the importance of keeping youth away from crime and fostering a safer, more accountable society.
In her closing remarks, Ambassador Karen acknowledged the efforts of Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, in improving the region but urged further support, particularly in bolstering security resources. “Anambra State has the potential to be great again, but it requires strong security forces, equipped with the necessary tools to maintain peace,” she stated.
Ambassador Karen’s message to the community was clear: “Stay away from crime and be a better person in life. Let’s be honest, seek justice, and work together to create a safer and stronger nation.”
Pechilly Investigative Limited stands as a bold example of what private investigative services can achieve in the fight against crime, offering hope for a brighter future for Anambra State and Nigeria as a whole.
