killed by three Policemen says Commissioner of
Police in Borno State Lawal Tanko while
addressing journalists in Maiduguri
"Solomon Adamu, was the son of a pastor
attached to the Mobile Police Training Camp,
Gwoza. He was said to have hit at a dog that
has frequently barked at him.
"The dog was reported to have died as a result
of the kick and that infuriated the three
policemen who subsequently subjected Solomon
to severe punishment and he died in the
process".
"Though the father of the deceased came
forward to express his unwillingness to
prosecute the dismissed policemen but the
Police Force will be going ahead with their
prosecution." Tanko said
He said" the prosecution of the case was not
for the deceased's father to determine as it
was a criminal case and under the purview of
the state.
"The deceased's father has been asked to tell
the court that he was not interested in
prosecuting the three dismissed police officer
as the police would go the full distance to
see that justice is done and its image is not
tarnished.
'The determination to prosecute the case stem
from the need to withhold the Inspector
General`s transformation agenda and zero
tolerance to indiscipline and corruption, they
cannot but be made to face the consequence of
their action."
He added that the dismissal of the officers
will further serve as deterrent to others,
disclosing that they have already been charged
to court.
