Following the nationwide condemnation of the brutal killing of the Sole Administrator of Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State, the state Police Command has begun a “technical investigation” into the matter.
In a statement made available to newsmen on Tuesday, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Henry Okoye, said the command is aware of the “iniquitous and obscene video that has gone viral on social media.”
Okoye explained that in the video, a man suspected to be the abducted Ideato North LGA sole administrator is seen kneeling down, his hands tied and made to undergo an “inhuman act”.
This, he said, was followed up with his killing by suspected members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed affiliate, Eastern Security Network (ESN).
“The command wish to inform the good people of the State that, we are already on top of the situation following a high powered investigation team, inaugurated by the Commissioner of Police, CP Mohammed Ahmed Barde and have since commenced technical investigation on the date of the abduction and have been on the trail of the hoodlums where tremendous progress was being made before the surfacing of the obscene video .
“However, the Command’s Tactical Teams are not relenting in their efforts to arrest and unravel the identity of the perpetrators of this dastardly act with the sole aim to bring them to face the full wrath of the law.” The statement reads.
