Offa robbery suspect gives gory account of alleged torture by police
DAILY POST reports that scores of suspects allegedly involved in the robbery were rounded up by the IG’s rapid response team, led by Abba Kyari and moved to Abuja, but were brought back to Kwara State for trial.
Narrating his ordeal in the hands of policemen in Abuja, Azeez told the court that the six suspects were killed in his presence to compel him to admit his alleged involvement in the bloody bank robbery at Offa where over 30 people including policemen were reportedly killed. Eberebe said “attempts by the prosecution to impress it on the court that there are only five suspects in the case amounts to suppression of facts.”
According to Azeez’s account, “one Inspector Vincent killed Michael Adikwu in my presence,” and “they forced me to thumbprint a statement already prepared by the police against my consent.”
