Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has received the report from the Judicial Commission of Inquiry that Investigated Human Rights Abuses, Police Brutality and Extrajudicial Killings by the disbanded notorious police unit, named Special Anti-Robbery Squad in the state.
The governor challenged the Inspector General of Police and the new Commissioner of Police to implement the white paper as a proof that the Federal Government was serious about ending such police brutality in the country.“The truth of the matter is I am not sure the present Inspector General is out to fight insecurity. Now, he has appointed a new Police Commissioner for political patronage.
Justice Chukwunenye Uriri said the commission received 190 petitions, struck out 82 for lack of due diligence or jurisdiction, and eventually considered 108 of them.
