He stressed that the command would not condone any act of unprofessional conduct, dereliction of duty, abuse of office or compromise of established procedures by any officer.Ama has directed the command’s X-Squad to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the suspect’s arrest, detention, documentation and subsequent whereabouts, including the roles and responsibilities of the officers involved.The commissioner further disclosed that necessary operational measures have been put in place to facilitate the rearrest of the suspect. He assured the public that the outcome of the investigation would be communicated once established.Ikenga said the CP also cautioned members of the public against circulating unverified information that could prejudice the ongoing investigation, noting that facts must be established through due process. He reiterated that accountability remains a core principle of the command’s leadership and that no police officer is above scrutiny or the established disciplinary process of the Nigeria Police Force.
