The Anambra State Police Command has confirmed that Bonny Okonkwo is a criminal suspect and is being held under the ambit of the law in it’s custody.
This is coming from certain rumour going round by some section of the Press coordinated by his lawyer while trying to sway public sympathy . According to him , he’s of the opinion that his arrest is instigated by Sir Emeka Offor.
According to a report , the Police Public Relation Officer of the Anambra State Police Command, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga has written off the laywer insinuation, according to the Spokeperson of the Command, it is baseless, concocted , that the allegation that Sir Emeka Offor instigated his arrest is not only pedestrian but figment of the lawyer’s imagination. Police need not to be coerced to do its job but diligently, DSP Ikenga said authoritatively.
Reacting further he said, “A citizen against whom a crime is committed has the right to complain to appropriate authorities and the Police is mandated by the Constitution to investigate such crime”.
The swift response by the Anambra State Police Command stated clearly that due process to detain the suspect was clearly followed through a court order , while enjoying the facility provided he persistently use his gadget to continue to commit more crime until he was deprived of it.
The Police therefore pointed the inconsistent and incoherent allegations of the suspect’s lawyer in one breath that his client merely criticize the complainant, in another he admitted that his client published on a social media space that the Meter Manufacturing Company Commissioned by the Vice President at Oraifite was an empty warehouse decorated to deceive the people!
However, the police is charging the matter to court after completion of the investigations. The State Command will not infringe on the fundamental human rights of any person’s as it is bonded in the Nigeria constitution to respect such and it’s position is very clear to defend it.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Aderemi Adeoye therefore admonish the people to be law abiding citizens and disregard rumour purported by some desperate individuals to scandalous the good work the Police Command under his watch is doing.
