THIS DAY reports that CP Andrew condemned the incessant killings describing such act as a ”travesty of justice, capable of derailing public order which he said was “totally unacceptable as it has no place in our criminal justice administration.”

The statement reads “for the avoidance of doubt, the rights to life and fair hearing are enshrined in Chapter Four of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and are inalienable rights, hence, should be respected by all at all times.”

According to the statement, a few months back, an innocent woman was wrongly tortured to death, leaving her two weeks old baby helpless on a false allegation that she stole N2,000 at the popular ‘Urua Okpokpo’ Market.

The statement also revealed that last week, at Ebong Essien by Ikpa Road within the Uyo Metropolis, a young man was killed because of an allegation that he stole.

The statement reads further: “Two days back, December 8th, 2021, two young men, alleged to have attempted robbing a POS attendant at Ikot Oku Ikono, close to the timber market, just after the flyover were killed and burnt by an angry mob.

“This trend, the Commissioner of Police notes, is totally unacceptable. He has therefore ordered that perpetrators of such acts be apprehended and made to face justice.”Jamb Result
