Acoalition of civil society organisations has called on the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to redeploy the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Mr Mustapha Dandaura, over the death of a
mechanic, Ikwunado Chima, in a police cell after the victim was arrested alongside four friends.
The mechanic died after allegedly undergoing torture in the hands of personnel of the Eagle Crack team of the Rivers State Police Command. “His body language does not favour a neutral prosecution of this matter. This is not the first time SP Benson would be lying to the public without any action from the Commissioner of Police as confirmed by the PPRO Rivers State, DSP Nnamdi Omoni.
“We also demand that all the property of the ‘Ikoku 5’ collected from them upon their illegal arrest should be returned immediately. Finally, we call on the Nigeria Police Force to come clean in this matter as Nigerians, international organisations and the world are watching.
