The House of Representatives has resolved to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of the principal suspect in the bank robberies and killings in Offa, Kwara State, Michael Adikwu, in custody of the police.

While accusing the police of human rights abuses and extrajudicial killings, the lower chamber of the National Assembly alleged that the security outfit was manipulating criminal cases.


The move followed the adoption of a motion moved by Mr Zakari Mohammed at the plenary on Thursday.

The House mandated the Committee on Police Affairs, Human Rights and Justice to “carry out an investigative hearing into the facts surrounding the time and circumstances of the death of the suspect and report back in four weeks”.

The committee was also mandated to “uncover the issues and questions as to when the suspect died, how he died, why the police denied the facts of his death, at what point the police are covering up the facts”.

They also resolved that the panel should “unravel issues of human rights abuses, extrajudicial killings, and manipulation of criminal investigations by the police”.

It is a welcome development.

When was the last time the Nigeria Police were truly friends to 'ordinary' Nigerians?





They only sow friendship to the elites and foreigners...
