The Independent Investigative Panel on allegations of human rights violations by the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and other units of the Nigerian Police, has vowed to compel the appearance of two police officers, Mr Obiazo and Mr Uzo Emeana both of SARS Awkuzu, Anambra state before the panel.
The retired Justice Sulaiman Galadima-led panel, vowed to compel their appearance, insisting it will not allow the actions of some lawless police officers to scuttle the course of justice. “The panel is left with no choice but to order the arrest of Mr Obiazo and Mr Uzo Emeana both of SARS Awkuzu, Anambra state over alleged arbitrary arrest and detention of one Mr John Emeka Alozie”.
