… Arrest Of Tasks X-Squad
… Disciplinary Units To Carry Out Investigation
Juliana Francis
The Imo State Commissioner of Police, Mr Aboki Danjuma, has ordered the immediate arrest and detention of the alleged officers who assaulted a nursing mother and her children.
The Command said that it was not unaware of a video making the rounds on social media, in which the nursing mother, Mrs. Ogechi Eze, alleged that she and her children were assaulted by operatives of the Command’s Anti kidnapping unit, (Tiger Base) as their operational call-sign and is currently carrying out a comprehensive investigation to ascertain the remote facts of the case.
Danjuma ordered the immediate arrest and detention of the alleged officers and tasked the Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) in charge of the Command’s X-Squad and Provost to ensure that the alleged officers were sanctioned by the Force’s extant laws if found culpable.
The Command further urged Mrs Ogechi to report at the Police Public Relations Department, Command Headquarters, Owerri, to assist in identifying the officers in the ongoing investigation.
Danjuma reaffirms his vow that the Command under his watch will never condone any form of unprofessionalism, arrest by proxy, assault, or incivility to members of the Public by its personnel and will not hesitate to take appropriate disciplinary actions against any recalcitrant officer infringing on the fundamental human rights citizens whom we have the constitutional mandate to serve and protect.
The Command promised that further development on the case would be shared with the general public in due course.
