Police redeploy officers for allegedly ‘selling detained suspects’


Success Nwogu , llorin


The Kwara State Commissioner of Police , Mr. Lawan Ado , on Monday said the command had redeployed policemen at the Adewole Police Division in Ilorin , over an allegation against them.

He said some residents had alleged that some of the policemen in the division had been selling suspects detained at the station to ritual killers for N 80, 000 per person.

Ado said this during a visit of the District Governor, Rotary International , District 9125 , Mr. Mbanefo Nnoka , and his team to the command headquarters .

The CP said although the allegation was false , unfounded and untrue , the command redeployed the policemen to avoid needless rift .

He said the police had investigated the allegation and even asked members of the public with credible information indicting any of the police officers to make such available .

He added that no one had come forward with information and evidence to indict any police officer in the state for selling suspects to ritual killers .

Ado said , “But we have been redeploying the policemen there. More than half of them have now been transferred and soon , the other half will be redeployed so that even if there is anybody who is involved – which no information has established – we will at least remove him from the area . ”

Nnoka who oversees Rotary Clubs in 23 states and the Federal Capital Territory , Abuja , said Rotary had spent about $ 7 . 3 bn globally and N 300 m in Nigeria to fight polio .

He urged parents to continue to immunising their children against polio , saying it was sad that there were still some resistance against polio immunisation in Nigeria .

He urged Nigerians to cooperate with the police to fight crime , adding that policemen were friends of Nigerians.[/quote]

It's true

Dead robbers are still guilty till baba lawo comes.

REDEPLOYED? ? ? after such heinous crime?

From what I heard, learnt a son of a naval officer was involved and that all the policemen in the station including the DPO was arested and given the beating of their lives till they confessed. Hearing this now means the story is either cooked or the NPF has totally gone rogue. I hope not sha.

Asking them to come out with evidence, when we all know what can happen. No investigation into the issue, na redeployment the mugun think of straight.

Police ain't your friend bobo.

My Ancestors come and see ooooo

That state is filled with alfas

Considering the region of this crime

I believe the aligation is true

What's it with Ilorin and ritual killing sef??

o

Na wao

instead of doing sentence to death, it's better to use them for money ritual so as to boost the nation's economy

wait make I finish reading, I go talk


I don finish reading



I don't know what to say oo


the story is very complicated.


Now, na who I go I believed

Redeployed, so that they can start their cash and carry business elsewhere

There is no way i’m raising my kids in Nigeria.

Nnamdi Kanu was wrong. Nigeria is not a Zoo, it’s a hell on earth.

The police is our best friend always....

I FEEL YOU.
they should tell us where they are deployed to.

Why am I not surprised?

I don't believe. Bloggers keep making up fake stories.

Who doesn't know how corrupt, NPF are?

I guess the excuse is that there is no evidence.

God deliver us from nigeria

Na dem o!

They may see selling a dead prisoner as a better option than mass burial. why stress themselves to dig and bury when they could simply sell and make extra cash.

ki havnt read the writeup but I believed, the man is from the Yoruba part of kwara.
