The IGP, who gave the order on the heels of trending reports in the media, on Thursday, December 3, 2020, expressed the disapproval of the Force Management Team on the matter and ordered investigations into the alleged role of the Force Legal Section, including its Head.
Meanwhile, the Force Legal Officer has been queried and may face further sanctions if found guilty of dereliction of duty, a statement by Frank Mba, Force Public Relations Officer, said.
It added that the IGP reiterates the commitment of the Force to fulfilling all its obligations with regards to the disbandment of the defunct SARS, the ongoing Judicial Panels and all other police reforms.
