The state commissioner of police, Joe Nwachukwu Enwonwu, who spoke through the command’s spokesperson, Olugbenga Fadeyi said many times, the police would not have an option than to ask for the treatment of such suspect before further action.

“The Commissioner of Police wishes to inform the leaders and by extension men of various security operatives within the state to desist from high handedness and treatment of suspects with antipathy, inflicting serious bodily damages that often times result in death,” he said.
