In a press statement issued by the command’s spokesperson, Henry Okoye, it was stated that the trial followed the identification of the personnel by complainants, which led to their arrest and subsequent investigation.

He said that orderly room trial proceedings have therefore been initiated against the personnel, whose names were given as Inspector Eyo Udo of the Anti-Vice Unit; Inspector Peter Nweke of the Rapid Response Squad; and Inspector Ita Asuquo of Operation Search and Flush.

 

Others include Sergeant Chukwuka Ekwueme of the Anti-Vice Unit and the trio of Police Constables Onuwa Samuel, Patchris David and Amos Sunny, all of the Anti-Vice Unit.

“Notably, some of the personnel were captured in a viral video depicting an alleged extortion incident involving operatives attached to a Joint Task Force, JTF operation,  at Seven-and-a-Half Junction, Obowo, including the other sister agencies whose personnel have been handed over to their various agencies for disciplinary action.

“The Commissioner of Police, CP Aboki Danjuma assures members of the public that the disciplinary process will be thorough, transparent, and in accordance with the Nigeria Police Force regulations and the outcome of the trial will be made public.”

Okoye urged members of the public to continue to report acts of misconduct by police personnel via the Command’s Complaints Response Unit, CRU, on 08148024755, 08068923224 and 08134783532.
