One of the victims of police brutality in Anambra State, Mr Chisom Uche, on Monday, said he expected police authorities to invite him and other victims of police brutality in the state to testify against some police officers currently undergoing investigation.
Uche said this in an interview with our correspondent on Monday while reacting to the allegations of extrajudicial killings levelled against some police officers in the state.
The officer-in-charge of the Rapid Response Squad in the command, CSP Patrick Agbazue, was alleged to be a member of a syndicate involved in the alleged kidnapping, torture and murder of citizens.
The Public Relations Officer of Zone 13 Police Headquarters, Ukpo-Dunukofia, SP Nwode Nkeiruka, and Inspector Harrison Akama, who is attached to the RRS in the state, were also indicted in the matter.
The development has been receiving widespread condemnations and outcry in the state since the incident was brought to the public as residents and various groups called for thorough investigations into the matter, insisting that it must not be swept under the carpet.
The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, on Friday set up a special investigation team to investigate allegations of extrajudicial killings, corruption, and high-handedness levelled against the officers.
An anonymous blog, Gistlover, had earlier published a story, alleging that Agbazue was involved in the kidnapping, torture, and murder of citizens.
