1. Police denial suspected cultist death
2. Police denial killing suspect in custody.
Accident – Death – Obituary News : The Nigerian Police Force (NPF) has refuted claims that they were responsible for the death of a suspected cultist known as Erasmus. In a viral video, Erasmus’ mother alleged that police officers beat her son to death while he was in custody. However, Police spokesman, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has categorically denied these accusations.
Adejobi clarified that the case in question had already been investigated and resolved by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) command. He pointed out that the autopsy report conclusively stated that Erasmus did not die as a result of police brutality, but rather from asphyxiation. This revelation dispels the notion that the police were involved in any form of torture leading to Erasmus’ death.
According to Adejobi, Erasmus was a known cultist who had been implicated in various criminal activities, including the alleged rape and murder of a young lady. The police had been working on a case involving Erasmus and his accomplices, and his death came as a setback to the investigation. Adejobi expressed regret that Erasmus passed away before the police could gather further information from him to resolve ongoing cases in the area.
In light of these events, Adejobi urged the public to approach such incidents with objectivity and a comprehensive understanding of the facts. He highlighted the importance of viewing situations impartially before making judgments that could tarnish the reputation of the police force. Adejobi emphasized the need for a balanced perspective when assessing law enforcement actions to avoid unjust criticism.
In conclusion, the Nigerian Police Force maintains its innocence in the death of Erasmus and urges the public to refrain from jumping to conclusions based on incomplete or misleading information. The police remain committed to upholding the law and ensuring justice for all, even in the face of false allegations..
