A civic organisation, the Rule Of Law And Accountability Advocacy Centre (RULAAC), has condemned the killing of a man suspected to be among the gunmen that attacked the founder of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleiman's convoy on Friday in Edo State. RULAAC, in a statement released by its Executive Director, Okechukwu Nwanguma, claimed that the deceased was arrested by a group of vigilantes who handed him over to the Nigeria Police Force for further investigation on the matter.
Civic Group, RULAAC Condemns Nigerian Police Killing Of Apostle Suleman's Suspected Attacker, Demands InvestigationThe group described the killing as unprofessional and a breach of ethical codes guiding operatives of Nigerian Police Force.
The group, therefore, described the killing as unprofessional and a breach of ethical codes guiding operatives of Nigerian Police Force. "Information available to RULAAC indicates that the suspect was apprehended by members of a vigilante group who promptly handed him over to the DPO who extra-judicially executed him.
"Could a DPO have unilaterally taken such extrajudicial and reckless action without reference to the Commissioner of Police? "Such an order would be manifestly unlawful. A prompt, impartial and exhaustive investigation by an impartial team outside Edo Police Command is warranted," the group added.
