OWERRI — Five policemen, serving in Imo State police
command, including the armourer of New Owerri police
division, are now in detention over how one of the
AK-47 rifles officially issued for guard duties, ended
up in the hands of dare devil kidnappers operating in
the state.
Confirming the develpoment to Vanguard in a
telephone interview yesterday, the state
Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Musa Katsina,
said while four of the five policemen were explaining
their involvement in the sordid act, the armourer is
being tried for negligent conduct.
Katsina said: “It is true that I ordered the arrest,
detention and interrogation of four serving policemen
of this command for allegedly renting one of the rifles
assigned to them to dare devil kidnappers.”
According to the CP, all the police officers, including
the armourer, arrested in connection with the sordid
finding are now facing orderly room trial.
He said: “I have constituted a panel to try them. They
have been given the opportunity to explain and
anybody found to be involved in the crime would be
made to face the full weight of the law.”
Giving a graphic account of how the police recovered
the weapon from fleeing kidnappers, Katsina said the
command’s Ambush Squad gave a hot chase to a
gang of kidnappers and in the process, they
abandoned the gun in their operational vehicle and
ran away.
“When the vehicle was thoroughly searched, the
AK-47 rifle belonging to the command was recovered.
We traced the point of issue to New Owerri police
division and that is how the armourer came into the
picture,” the CP said.
Katsina said policemen are given weapons to protect
the citizens and not to use it to terrorize the people
they are supposed to protect.
“The four were officially assigned the weapons for
guard duties. The other three policemen never
reported to anybody that their colleague whose
weapon was later recovered from kidnappers, was not
reporting for duty” the CP said.
Vanguard investigations revealed that the four
policemen were posted to the residence of a retired
CP (names withheld), while Katsina has since reported
the incident to the Inspector General of Police.

ABOUT 65 houses were razed, yesterday, rendering
many homeless with others injured as People's
Democratic Party, PDP, supporters clashed in Loko,
Katsina-Ala Local Government Area of Benue State.
The latest crisis in Katsina-Ala is coming on the heels
of moves by the people of Loko and PDP to recall
Mrs Hembadon Amena representing Katsina-Ala West
constituency in Benue State House of Assembly over
alleged anti-party activities.
Vanguard gathered from an eyewitness, who
preferred anonymity, that crisis erupted "when a
supporter of the embattled lawmaker, Mr. Shiaondo
Ukor, who is chairman of Motorcycle Hirers
Association at the Daudu unit, allegedly accosted one
Teryange, a commercial motorcycle rider and his
employee.
"Ukor asked him to hand over the keys of his
motorbike to him on the ground that he (Teryange)
disrespected him by joining forces with some people
to unseat Mrs. Amena.
"As the two argued to a point of exchanging blows,
they attracted the attention of passers-by who joined
the fray and the fight escalated."
According to the source, Mr. Ukor was alleged to
have moved with his supporters to the home of the
youth leader of Ugber Mr. Aondoaseer Ornguze and
razed down his house after beating up his family
members.
The source said: "His action sparked a reprisal attack
and further escalation of the fighting and burning
down of the houses of notable and vocal members of
the party in the area.
"The fighting is still on with many persons injured,
while over 65 houses have been razed already, as I
speak to you."
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer,
PPRO, Deputy Superintendent, DSP, Daniel Ezeala,
said he had received reports on the razing of
thatched houses in the affected area last night,
adding that he was still waiting for full details of the
crisis.
On her part, Mrs. Amena confirmed the story, saying
the trouble was caused by those who wanted to
recall her for no just cause.
She said the matter had been reported to the Police
in Katsina-Ala and Makurdi.
