Rivers police withdraws all personnel attached to Wike’s task force
The officers were withdrawn after the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Joseph Mukan, led other senior officers and men to visit the family of the late female police Sergeant, Lovender Elekwachi, who was shot dead on duty at Eneka in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of the state.
Omoni said the withdrawal will enable the Commissioner of police to adequately review the deployment before deploying any officer to such operation to avoid a repeat of what led to the untimely killing of the female police Sergeant. Earlier, the Commissioner of Police in Rivers state, while addressing the immediate family of the police officer and traditional rulers in Ozuzu Clan in Etche Local Government Area of the state, disclosed that investigation has been concluded against the officer who pulled the trigger.
“All lawful procedures were followed, and we have concluded our investigations. We gave him an orderly room trial, and we found him culpable and dismissed him. You know we cannot charge him to court without him being dismissed.
