Following the un-ending controversy surrounding the
mysterious killing of Mr. Ugochukwu Ozuah in Lagos on September 20,
2012, five days after his wedding, allegedly by men in Police uniform,
Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, has ordered the
immediate take over of the case by a crack team of homicide
investigators from Force Criminal Investigations Department, FCID,
Abuja.
The high-powered investigation team from the FCID,
which left Abuja, yesterday, is to immediately take-over the
investigation of the case from the Lagos State Police Command, with the
mandate to identify and fish out the killer(s).
Confirming the
development in a statement yesterday, Deputy Force Public Relations
Officer, CSP Frank Mba, said: “The IGP’s directive is necessitated by
the need to maintain neutrality, professionalism, speedy and holistic
dispensation of justice.”
While commiserating with the family,
friends and relations of the deceased, the IG reassured the nation that
the Force will do everything humanly and operationally possible to
ensure that the perpetrators of the crime were unmasked and eventually
brought to book.
He appealed to members of the public, especially
those who may have witnessed the crime, to come forward with useful
information that could aid the Police in tracking the felons, assuring
members of public that they were at liberty to use the special Police
email policemonitor@npf.gov.ng in relaying useful information touching
on this case.
Furthermore, the IG promised that the Special
Investigating Team charged with the handling of this case will be
releasing special dedicated phone lines for purposes of interaction with
members of the public as soon as they were on ground in Lagos.
