The Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre (RULAAC) has called for 'impartial' probe into the parade of one Thaddeus Ikechukwu Ojokoh, as a member of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Imo.

“After interrogating Matthew Chukwuma, he confessed to be the sector command of the dreaded IPOB/ESN syndicate in Mbaise and assisted the curious operatives in arresting three of his members namely; Ojoko Ikechukwu, 53 years, of Umugwa, Chilaka Charles aged 44 of Umuezuo and Anthony Iwu aged 50 years of Umugwa all in Umuokirika, in Ahiazu-Mbaise LGA of Imo state,” Imo police had said.
“Thaddeus Ojokoh’s family members find it both curious and ironic that Ojokoh who was arrested on April 15 and still detained at the Tiger Base Owerri as of April 21 when the attack was carried out and has not been released up to date could be paraded alongside others alleged to have carried out that same attack,” the statement reads.“Ojokoh’s family members were hoping that the police would have finished their investigation and cleared him of any links with IPOB or charged him in court.
“Attacks on police installations or killing of police officers are totally condemnable serious and unjustifiable crimes.
