The Ohen, elders and members of Ekiugbo Community in Uhunmwode Local Government Area of Edo State, have cried out to the Inspector General Police(IGP), Alkali Usman Baba, over alleged attempts by the legal section of the Force CIID to burgle investigation and set free one Justin Omoruyi, the alleged murderer of their son, Ikpomwonsa Omoruyi.

The community noted that after a painstaking investigation by the SWAT team which linked the murder suspect to the death of Ikpomwonsa they were shocked that the legal section of the Force CIID had suddenly resorted to measures unknown to the law to pervert justice.

While appealing for justice on the matter, the complainant pointed out that autopsy report had shown symmetry with the gun found with the suspect.

They, therefore, appealed to the IGP to order the legal section of the AIG Zone 5 headquarters, Benin, to take over the case file as they no longer have confidence in the legal section of the Force CIID, handling the matter.

In a complaint to the Nigeria Police Complaint Response Unit , through the approved platforms on behalf by of the solicitors to the complainants, Douglas Ogbankwa Esq, noted, “that Justin Omoruyi was identified by eye witnesses , who saw him participating actively in the killing of the deceased on the 12th of October, 2021.

“That the SWAT Team of the FCIID who ultimately investigated the matter did a fantastic job and recommended that the main suspect -Justin Omoruyi – be charged for murder, among other recommendations.

“That the duplicate case file was handed over to one Inspector Gabriel of the legal section of the Force CIID, who held on to the case file for weeks with out any communication from him.

“That a petition was filed against Inspector Gabriel by our client to the Inspector General of Police, the file was later assigned to one Omosun and despite that the matter lied fallow for weeks without being attended to.

“That our client just discovered from the grape vine an attempt by the legal section of the Force CIID to pervert justice by using technicalities unknown to Nigerian Law to exculpate the main suspect -Justin Omoruyi – from murder on a doubtful alibi.

“It is the brief of our client that the duty of the police is to investigate an alibi and charge the murder suspect to court and not for the legal section to give an opinion discharging a suspect identified positively by witnesses at the scene of crime as the legal section is not part of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution or a Court of Law which can discharge a main suspect of murder with the avalanche of evidence against him which includes a gun, recovered from him, which the legal section removed from the evidence under the ploy that they were taking the gun for analysis.

“An autopsy conducted by the Police Doctor also established the deceased was killed with a gun. It is also very curious based on the facts gathered from our clients that the legal section of the Force CIID seeks to manufacture a charge when there is none to charge our client for whatever offence not supportable by the Proof of Evidence.

“It is the briefs of our clients that they no longer have confidence in the legal section of the Force CIID and we humbly urge the reputable Inspector General of Police to order either the legal section of the AIG Zone 5 headquarters, Benin City, of the Nigeria Police or the legal section of the Edo State Police Command to take over the case file as antecedents with the legal section has left much to be desired.”

Recall that late Ikpomnwosa Omoruyi (deceased) was allegedly murdered by Justin Omoruyi and others, on their way back from Ekiugbo Community, in Uhunmwode Local Government Area of Edo State on the 12th of October, 2021.
