The victim “was allegedly hacked to death by Mr. Monday who had told his son to tell the man he would kill him if the victim refused to stay off the bush where he sets traps to always catch bush animals”.
Joe, via a letter to the DPO said: “It’s on record that after the incident, the suspect immediately left the community until his son was arrested. He was forced to return and reported to your station that he murdered the victim and not his son hence his son should be released.”
“the IPO is alleged to have been convincing the family to accept settlement against the ethics and laws of the Nigerian Police Force. The family of the victim wants nothing but justice”. he added
“a case of murder goes beyond the jurisdiction of a division, and such issues should be transferred to State CIID (Homicide) for further investigations and prosecution.”
“Justice is core should be given credence as far as the matter is concerned,” he said.
