The panel of inquiry investigating allegations of killings, extortion and sales of human parts levelled against some senior police officers in Anambra State has submitted its report.
An anonymous blogger, Gistlover, in February raised an alarm over alleged atrocious activities, including forceful acquisition of properties owned by arrested victims, perpetrated by three police officers serving in Anambra State Police Command.
DAILY POST recalls that following the allegations by the blogger, Nigeria Police Force Headquarters had set up a panel to investigate the allegation which invited the accused officers to Abuja.
Also, the Anambra State Police Command had, in connection to this, declared wanted a National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) member, Daniel Nnamdi Emeh, for impersonation, possession of firearms and money laundering.
Emeh, 26 is said to be an IT expert, working with the command, and was alleged to have leaked the information to the blogger.
The police officers involved in the allegations included CSP Patrick Agbazue, Commander, Rapid Response Squad (RRS) in Anambra, SP Nkeiru Nwode, Zonal Public Relations Officer, Zone 13, Ukpo and Inspector Harrison Akama, alleged to have carried out nefarious activities for Agbazue.
Barely two months after its constitution, DAILY POST learnt that the panel has turned in its report to the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba.
CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer who disclosed this to DAILY POST via a text message, upon enquiry, said: “I am aware that the team has carried out an investigation into the allegations, and a report has been sent to the IGP recently. I will get a copy of the report and act.”
Responding to news that Emeh was on his way to Awka for arraignment in court at the time of filing this report, Adejobi said he was not aware.
“I will need to find out about that,” he said.
There have been protests from some CSOs, over the release of the suspected police officers, while some CSOs had called for protection for Emeh, insisting he should be treated as a whistleblower, rather than being detained in solitary confinement.
