The Nigeria Police Force has finally broken silence over the continuous incarceration of a whistleblower, Nnamdi Emeh, who was arrested nearly two years ago.
DAILY POST reports that the 26-year-old man was arrested and detained by the Nigeria Police Force after reportedly exposing alleged extortion, extrajudicial executions, torture, and organ harvesting by senior officers in Anambra State.
Upon his arrest, the Nigeria Police accused the suspect of being in possession of firearms, defamation of character, money laundering, and unlawful transfer of N47 million from someone’s account to another account.
According to reports, his release warrant was signed on May 15, 2024, by court officials but some police personnel allegedly frustrated his freedom.
Clearing the air on Saturday night, the police in a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi said Emeh was yet to meet his bail conditions.
The police insisted that Emeh was lawfully apprehended following credible allegations against him, stating that the allegations were thoroughly investigated and presented before a competent court of law.
“The charges preferred against him were duly filed, and he was arraigned before the Federal High Court, Awka, in line with due process.
“It is important to emphasize that the judiciary operates independently, and the court retains the exclusive prerogative to evaluate the evidence presented, determine bail conditions, and take any further necessary actions as guided by the law.
“Mr. Emeh was granted bail on terms established by the court. It therefore behooves on the suspect to take steps to meet such conditions and not resort to unnecessary media rampage.
“The NPF reaffirms its commitment to upholding the rule of law, ensuring justice, and maintaining the highest standards of professionalism. The Force is also mindful of its duty to investigate allegations against all persons, including its officers, and to subject any suspect to the established legal process.
“While the case against Mr. Emeh continues in court, we appeal to the public to allow the judicial process to take its full course without undue speculation or interference,” he stated.
