.The lawyers added that, “our client also confided in us that one (Amaka Offor) his girlfriend was sexually molested and abused,” the petition read.
.The petition urged the Police Service Commission to conduct an investigation into the incident and invoke appropriate sanctions including dismissal against the culpable police officers.
.“Sir, you would agree with us that these allegations are too weighty to be ignored by any right-thinking Nigerian.
We are using this medium as our own way of galvanizing institutional sanity, cleansing and reform in the Nigeria Police Force as an institution.
