The Imo state Police Command has arrested its personnel who allegedly killed one Jude Oguzie ‘male’.
Oguzie was killed by operatives attached to the Command, on the 5th of December 2020, along the Njaba/Owerri.
The Commands spokeperson SP Ikeokwu Godson Orlando, confirmed the incident in a press statement.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Isaac Akinmoyede, wondered why the officers refused to adhere to rules guiding the use of firearms.
He therefore ordered investigation into the matter, with a view to unravel the cause of the incident.
The officers involved has however been identified, arrested and are presently in custody.
The CP while sympathising with the family of the deceased, urged them to remain calm, as the Command will do everything possible to ensure that justice is done.
The Command regrets the killing of the deceased under any guise especially now that the force is doing everything within its powers to put an end to incidents of brutality and incivility to members of the public.
