A socio-cultural organization, Aka Igbo, has called on the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to swiftly remove the Commissioner of Police in Imo State, Aboki Danjuma.
The group alleged that the CP had on several occasions arrested and detained innocent people on the orders of Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, since his re-election for a second term in November 2023.
Aka Igbo further accused the CP of involvement in human rights abuses and detention of persons for over three months without trial.
The petition read in part: “It is sad to note that rather than protect innocent lives and property of people of the state and checkmate the excesses and activities of members of the Eastern Security Network, ESN/Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, who have allegedly been killing men of the Armed Force as well as other security operatives, the CP who has turned himself to the governor’s puppet, is busy detaining government appointees and APC members contrary to Section 4 of the Police Act.
“Sometime in November 2023, the commissioner arrested one Noble Atulegwu, the former Commissioner for Lands in Imo State, on the orders of the governor. While in custody, he took ill and was rushed to the police clinic.”
