Open letter to IGP Adamu on Chukwuemeka’s murder
On
By Ikechukwu Amaechi
I DECRIED here, penultimate week, the murder of Chukwuemeka Anichukwuegbo, an industrial physicist, whose life was cut short at 33 in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.
Emeka, an orphan, was an employee of Diversey West Africa Limited when he was killed on November 28, 2020. His corpse was dumped in an unregistered, private morgue whose proprietors are yet to coherently explain what happened and why they appropriated his phone.
Police investigation has been anything but thorough. There were no follow-ups on possible leads. For instance, the proprietor of the rogue morgue said he was tipped off by his police friend to go and pick Emeka’s corpse after an alleged clash by rival cult gangs near the Lagos Garage in the old city.

The outgoing Inspector General of Police Mohammed Adamu has underscored the need for police personnel to have comfortable accommodation. He made this known during the commissioning of a block of 10 luxury flats constructed and designed by a private developer, Qoral Concepts Limited. He said that the police force has been constantly challenged by limited military provisions, “Hence it became expedient that we work towards guaranteeing a humane and befitting living condition for police personnel.”
However, he pointed out that despite partnership with private developers to help build housing estates for the force and elevate the standard of living,”the challenge of regenerating our barracks still remains till today.”
