Rivers State Police Command has distanced itself
from the allegation that it brought the pro-Biafran protesters it arraigned
before the Magistrate’s Court half naked.
The River’s Police command dismissed the statement
and the pictures published by some online media as malicious and deceitful,
adding that the force cannot malhandle suspects.
This was contained in a press statement issued,
weekend, and signed by the Public Relations Officer of the command, DSP Ahmad
Muhammad who said the police did not bring the suspects to the court
naked. He said the police force is an institution that has respect for
humanity, adding that the Rivers State Police Command is a responsible agency
that had never at any time paraded suspects in such a dehumanizing scene let
alone doing so before a court of law .
The statement read in part: “It is instructive to
state categorically that the pictures displayed along the news item did not
emanate from the command that is known for the respect for the dignity of
suspects. A close look at the horrible pictures indicated the people therein
are more than ten as against the number stated in the news item.”
The command, Wednesday last week, arraigned ten
Pro-Biafra protesters before Magistrate courts Seven and Fourteen in Port
Harcourt on two charges of criminal conspiracy and treasonable felony.
