CRISES and tensions continue to wreck all meaningful efforts at attaining peace and contentment in Nigeria, with another worrying scenario unfolding Thursday in Owerri, where some senior police officers in the Imo State Command under the aegis of Concerned Police Officers protested against the alleged continued detention of about 20 senior officers.
The officers, who protested at the The Guardian office in Owerri, were aggrieved that the officers have been in cell under the directive of their Commissioner, Mr. Muhammad Musa Katsina. They also condemned the harassment of Correspondent Charles Ogugbuaja by the authorities of the command over his exclusive report in the newspaper’s Tuesday edition.
The said report was about the transfer to insurgency-prone areas in northern Nigeria of senior officers and rank and file numbering about 60, who were mainly of Igbo ethnic nationality, allegedly on the orders of the CP, among other unfriendly acts he allegedly meted to the aggrieved officers.
