My arrest and that of three other persons at a car-wash along Ekenwuan Road, Ugbighoko Quarters, Benin City of Edo State, is one of other events of human rights abuses associated with policing in Nigeria. Dear Inspector-General of Police, on 7th January, 2023 being Saturday, I was invited by a friend to have us take a cursory look at some documents for onward transmission to the Commissioner of Police , Edo State.
I was immediately returned to the State Police Headquarters where I was directed to complete my statement; after which I was thrown into the Police cell like a common criminal. We were paraded before the press and other social media platforms on the fourth day in attempt to *defame* my person, after being unlawfully detained for five days without stating the offence committed and in violation of my fundamental right to liberty.
Dear Inspector-General of police, my statement is available with the commissioner of Police, Edo State for your attention. The ludo game, the documents recovered at the scene of our arrest are all in the custody of the SACU for your attention. CP Mohammed Adamu Dankwara’s act clearly reflects his unprofessional conduct following my unlawful detention and malicious parade before the press.
Two, CP Mohammed Adamu Dankwara of Edo Police Command should reveal to Nigerians the petitioner and the offence committed. Three, CP Mohammed Adamu Dankwara of Edo Police Command should reveal to Nigerians the reason for the despicable and unprofessional conduct that has defamed my character and violated my fundamental human rights as a NigerCP Mohammed Adamu Dankwara of Edo Police Command should reveal to Nigerians who paid him to carry out this unthinkable act of corrupt tendencies.
