According to a confirmation statement released by the corps spokesperson, Femi-Daniels Aidamenbor on Wednesday, March 5, the officer in question in currently being queried.

He said;

“The officer has been queried. He was summoned from Ikare to Akure. He has actually been queried for the way he handled the matter,”

“Even though he was acting within the mandate of the call, the way he handled the matter was actually not encouraging

The officer erred. Even if you’re applying capital punishment, it shouldn’t have been on the body of the young man. That was where he actually erred, and the State Commandant frowned at that.”
