The Network of Civil Society Organisations of Nigeria (NOCSON) has strongly condemned the police for their failure to arrest the perpetrators of the recent shooting along Airport Road in Benin City, which resulted in the tragic death of Inspector Onu Akor.
At a press conference in Benin City, NOCSON President Emmanuel Ogbidi expressed his outrage and disappointment, citing the presenceof clear evidence on social media, including videos showing the faces of armed individuals involved in the shooting. Despite this, no arrests have been made.
Ogbidi criticized the police delay, stating that it has raised serious doubts about the capacity and professionalism of the Edo State police command to handle critical issues, particularly as the gubernatorial election approaches. He emphasized the need for swift action to address this incident and ensure public trust in the police.”
