for extra-judicial killing
Haliru Gwandu, said the
command would recommend a
serving inspector being
investigated for extra-judicial
killing for ‘discharge’ from service
if found guilty.
Mr. Gwandu, who stated this at a
news a conference on Wednesday
in Benin, said “there is no sacred
cow in the force.”
He also disclosed that the
command had in the last one
week arrested 27 suspected
criminals in different hideouts in
the state.
He said police detectives arrested
the suspects with various
dangerous arms and ammunition.
The commissioner said those
arrested included six suspected
armed robbers, five suspected
kidnappers, 13 suspected cultists
and three cyber crime suspects.
He listed some of the arms and
ammunition recovered from them
to include cut-to-size guns,
cartridges, pistols, locally made
short guns, double barrelled gun
and pump action gun.
He restated the command’s
preparedness to combat crime in
the state and stressed that Edo
was no longer a safe haven for
criminals.
Mr. Gwandu enjoined all
residents of the state to be law
abiding and cooperate with the
Police by volunteering useful
information that would assist the
command in taming criminal
elements.
He said all the suspects would be arraigned in
court as soon as investigations into the cases
were concluded.
The commissioner further disclosed that the
command had arrested no fewer than 40
persons for flouting the state government’s
directive on the ban on collection of illegal
taxes and revenue.
