In the video below, the Commissioner of Police, Enugu State, Ahmed Abdulrahman, made a complete fool of himself. While briefing Pressmen on the clash between IPOB and the police that occured on Sunday which left several people dead, he said he got a distress call that IPOB were on the rampage, shooting sporadically and burning things. So he quickly organised Soldiers from the 82 Division, Airforce men, Police, SARS, Anti-kidnapping unit and the DSS then stormed the area where they came under heavy fire from IPOB and replied.

As this was going on, he learnt that what caused the problem was that the DSS were in the area for an operation then they were attacked and two DSS personel were kidnapped by IPOB. He said they stormed a house where 3 IPOB suspects kept the DSS hostage snd rescued one of them while arresting the 3 IPOB suspects, whom he paraded. He also said thst IPOB burnt an innocent passerby and hacked another to death with a machete. He said that IPOB killed 4 people

Drama however started when the 5 paraded IPOB suspects where questioned by the Press. The first guy said he does exercises in a field behind the school and usually does running. Abdulrahman kept interrupting the IPOB suspect and even tried to get him to admit that IPOB did weapons training, which the young man denied. Another suspect said he uses the field for martial arts training and self defence. Abdulrahman again interrupted the suspect and told him that he was doing self defence training so he can be strong and fight the Federal Government. The suspect said no. Abdulrahman even told the suspect that he snatched the weapon of the DSS, to which the suspect said he knows nothing about that. All 5 suspects claim that they ran in different directions when they heard the sound of gun shots and were arrested in their various hiding places.

If a Police Commissioner can descend so low as to be putting words in the mouth of suspects to get them to admit guilt in front of the Press, I fear what is happening in the Nigerian Police force as a whole. How can a senior officer like this be trying to frame someone right in front of journalists?

IPOB that everyone knows the dont carry arms is who the commissioner of Police organised SARS, Army, Police, Airforce, DSS and Anti-kidnapping unit for? Chei!

Shame from a shame less police.. playing to the gallery for selfish praise

These boys will never get justice. Police just attacked innocent people and are working hard to achieve certain objectives.
The CP should be investigated. There is more to this than meets the eye.

See the mark on his forehead!

Why can’t the send this fool to the core north where he can flex his muscles with real terrorists, and keep southern states for southern police commissioners!?

They’re working backwards...from the answer to the question! Go figure!

All this people know nothing. They are just trying to put words in their mouth. What is this?

How many fulani Herdsmen have they paraded like this?

It will not be better for that police man tho ,but I guess this is Nigeria, you have already damaged his eyes without investigations and he is trying so hard to explain to you but yet you are forcing him just for praise or the taste of blood to fulfill you shoulder, May you live long in suffering to see your son or daughter this way some day

Until kanu commands the igbos to take up arms against their killers, this guys will never stop killing armless civilians

and so shall it be.

That commissioner and his generation will not go unponished.

shameful....

ATAKAM:
shameful....

They know the implication of what they did, killing unarmed civilians According to the rules of engagement in international policing, you don't shot or kill armless person or group , no matter the circumstances!

They are insisting on catching dem with weapons becos it's their only justification for shooting.. Nigerian Police have always been shameless since time immemorial

Why are proscribed group also having any meetings in the first place?

Ka anyị na aga n'ubi ka ji na - aka
Let's Keep going to the farm until it's time for harvesting the yams

Shame on the commissioner of police Enugu state, shame on Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu state. Shame on all those people around there intimidating these boys.

What kind of interview was that?? They trying very hard to force these boys to accept things they know nothing about. These were simply the unfortunate individuals whom the police spotted and arrested to show how ‘hard’ they work. The Nigerian police cowardly avoided the trouble spots then went for the most vulnerable.

How can this man stand there with a microphone telling lies that the DSS, Mobile police unit, Air Force and men from the 82 Div Nigerian Army were engaging in gun battle with a group of IPOB members who were physically exercising.
I have despised IPOB for a very long time but it’s time to lend support to them.

To hell with the Nigeria security forces. These boys need to change their methods. They should stop being maltreated and bullied by the cowardly police and military.

can they treat Bokoharam or fulani herdmen like this?
the answer is NO
The world is watching

They respond quickly to IPOB, but we have boko haram in borno, ISWAP in Niger State, bandits/herdsmen in Katsina and Zamfara, and exported herdsmen bandits in Kaduna South.

Why don't they ever catch those ones but rather choose to negotiate with them and even pay them ransome money from government coffers?

This is shameful.

The Federal govt should rather trend softly and seek alternative ways of dialogue with IPOB.

This strategy has never worked anywhere in the world.

People have right to self determination, but can be engaged and brought to the round table on negotiation.

May God help our leaders to apply common sense

Because freedom of movement, expression and peaceful assembly are all enshrined in the constitution

kingzizzy:

Proscribed groups are exceptional except if you are pretending not to be aware

Had it been these guys didn't know how to express themselves, they are far gone.
Lazy police always seeking the easiest way out.

helinues:

Is 'freedom to shoot' the penalty for an unarmed proscribed group having a gathering?

If not, please you'ld do better by sending the police a private message of support for their action, than trying to make sense of their nonsense actions in Emene.

If IPOB are lawless and hence these treatment, what is the class of the herdsmen wielding terror in the same vicinity that exempts them from such treatment?

helinues:


Proscribed groups are exceptional except if you are pretending not to be aware

It only remains fir people like you to say that proscription also bans them from breathing in air

helinues:

Oga I want to use this opportunity to caution U on the way U talk carelessly , remember that the words U speak will stand to judge U some day.
Life is precious and no man has that right to take one.
Peace bro

Useless police. The man did everything possible to lure them into admitting what they never did.

They should continue. One day the chicken will come to roost.

helinues:
Why are proscribed group also having any meetings in the first place?

let them use the same energy on Fulani herdsmen
helinues shame on you
tueh!

Even person when go buy food for pig , no investigations nothing, one eye don go ,I dey shame for una when be police, later your kids turn so stupid

These people from the poverty capital of the south will never say the truth, despite them admitting that they knew iPOB has been proscribed and even one them was hiding an inspector of police ceiling.

These reporters or journalists are very unprofessional. What do you expect from brown envelope reporters. These guys should be released cos there's no case against them.

Imagine that lad in so much pain and the guys are making fun of him.

That CP should be ashamed of himself with his poor English. Where do they get these animals from?

Anyiamaka:

You didn't watch the video, one of the outlawed Ipob members was hiding in an inspector ceiling, what an effrontery? they aren't innocent.
