The Independent Investigative Panel probing police brutality in Abuja on Thursday gave police authorities a six-day ultimatum to arraign a suspect, Raphael Toona, who has been in detention for about one year.
The chairman of the panel, Justice Suleiman Galadima (retd.), ordered that Toona should be arraigned on or before December 23.
Justice Galadima gave the order following an application by his lawyer, N.T Utasha, urging the panel to order the to either release the suspect or arraign him in court of competent jurisdiction.
“The first complaint (Toona) should be taken to Benue State to be arraigned before a court of competent jurisdiction on or before December 23, 2020 where his bail should be considered, considering the fact that he has been in detention for more than a year,” Justice Galadima ordered.
