The Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre (RULAAC), has called on the Inspector General of Police to investigate the activities of the Eagle Crack (E-Crack), a Police Unit at Mile1, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The Centre has raised concerns over claims of arbitrary arrests, unlawful detention, brutality, torture and extrajudicial killing of innocent citizens, by the Unit.
Executive Director of the RULAAC, Okechukwu Nwanguma in a statement in Lagos called on the Inspector General of Police to order a comprehensive investigation and overhaul of that notorious unit.
The recent case of alleged arrest, unlawful detention, torture and framing of false charges against an innocent Mechanic identified as Chima, and his eventual murder by the operatives of this notorious unit who also allegedly falsely charged 4 others leading to their remand in prison custody warrants thorough, impartial and exhaustive investigation to ensure that the truth and full facts are unravelled and justice attained, Nwanguma demanded.
This is the time to reign in the undisciplined, corrupt and brutal operatives attached to this notorious unit and save the lives of citizens, he said.
