The police boss condemns the recent extrajudicial killing, condoles victims’ family and friends

MOHAMMED Adamu, the inspector-general of Police, IGP, has expressed deep concerns over increasing acts of impunity and jungle justice and all manner of dehumanising treatment meted out to Nigerians by unscrupulous persons. The IGP, who is appalled with the recently publicised incident in the social media portraying the unsavoury debasement and incalculable assault on one Odugu Blessing Dada, 45, in Ika North East LGA of Delta State, noted that the incident, like other similar incidence before it, in Edo, Lagos, Abuja and Ebonyi amongst others, has become worrisome. The IGP, therefore, warned that his regime which has zero tolerance for human rights abuse especially gender based violence, will do everything humanly possible and within the ambit of the law to put an end to the scourge and effectively prosecute all offenders.

All the same, Adamu condoled with all victims of jungle justice and other forms of extra-judicial acts particularly Dada, her family and friends over the wicked and unwarranted assault on her by one Friday Ndudi Eluro et. al, and also commended all Nigerians, whom, by their words and actions, had clearly identified with the victim and raised the red flag on impunity and all forms of inhuman treatment in the country.

Nevertheless, the IGP said he is enthused that most of the alleged perpetrators of this particular crime have been apprehended. He, therefore, ordered Adeleke Yinka, the newly posted commissioner of Police, Delta State, to ensure that the case be expeditiously and thoroughly investigated and all indicted suspects charged to court.

The IGP also called on all Nigerians to steer-clear of human rights violations and all manner of impunity and jungle justice and to report all incidence to the nearest relevant authority. He, however, warned that henceforth violators of the rights of human persons will be dealt-with in accordance with the law.
