Alleged Anambra Killer Squad: Probe panel visits scenes, police promise justice
The Special Investigation Panel probing the allegations of extra-judicial killings, extortion, unprofessionalism, and highhandedness against police officers of the Anambra State Command and Zone 13 Ukpo-Dunukofia, has commenced a full-scale investigation into the allegations.
A statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, added that investigators had moved to scenes and sites for on-the-spot-assessment.
He stated that the team had been told to harness all available means and spread its tentacles towards ensuring that all information received via the channels made available to the public was properly examined to assist the investigations, subsequent report of findings and recommendations.
He added, “The Nigeria Police Force wishes to disabuse the minds of well-meaning members of the public and all interested stakeholders, that the panel comprising respected and thoroughbred officers, including officers of the IGP Monitoring Unit, reports directly to the Inspector-General of Police, and shall discharge the responsibility professionally and ensure justice.
“The NPF also assures the public that the Anambra RRS, Okuzu, will definitely be reorganised and sanitised to suit the present ideologies and administrative styles of the Force leadership in conformity with international best practices. This sanitization will be equally extended to other tactical squads across the NPF.”
The Force PRO revealed that the officers named in the trending allegation were summoned to the Force Headquarters for interrogation, addi g that due to the denial of the allegations raised by a blogger, the Inspector-General of Police then set in motion the process for diligent investigations.
“It is, however, crucial to state that this process will not in any way truncate the current conscientious investigation into the allegations as many aggrieved persons have reached out to the panel for more deliberations and information sharing,” Adejobi added.
