Online Journalists Want C'river CP Remove Over Illegal Detention Of Colleague by frankiekinase: 9:45am On Aug 31, 2019 |
Arrested in Lagos on the 22nd of August, 2019, and whisked into Calabar, the Publisher and Editor-in-chief of CrossRiverWatch.Com, Mr. Agba Jalingo, has now spent 8 days in Police cell without being charged to court. In a statement issued by the Association of Cross River Online Journalists, ACROJ and signed by the Chairman, Edem Darlington, on Friday, Agba Jalingo's health is at risk following his unlawful detention by the police. On that note, ACROJ call on the Inspector General of Police, IGP M. A. Adamu, to redeploy the Cross River State state Commissioner of Police, CP Austin Agbonlahor, from the state. Parts of the statement read: "We are concerned about the deteriorating health condition of Mr. Agba Jalingo. His hands and legs are swollen most likely due to handcuffs and restraints as well as his loss of appetite. "Access to him has been largely controlled, while the few who have seen him have expressed concern for the need for him to have immediate access to health care. "We call on the Inspector General of Police - IGP to urgently redeploy the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Austin Agbonlahor from the state and immediately set up a panel of inquiry to investigate the several complains of human rights abuse under his watch. "We therefore once again call for immediate and unconditional release of Mr. Agba Jalingo." Source: https://paradisenews.ng/43471/agba-jalingo-8-days-detention-need-redeploy-cp-agbonlahor
