The Commissioner of police, Enugu state command, CP Abubakar Lawal has ordered investigation into the alleged assault of a female officer, Sergent Helen Onoja, by an assistant commissioner of police.
Command spokesperson, ASP Daniel Ndukwe said CP Lawal ordered the deputy commissioner of police in charge of the State CID Enugu, to conduct a thorough and conclusive investigation into the case.
Based on stories making round on the internet, it was alleged that an Assistant Commissioner of Police and Area Commander in-charge of Enugu Metro Area Command, ACP Oluseyi Okenla, physically assaulted a female Police Officer, identified as Sergeant Helen Onoja, for no justifiable reasons.
Ndukwe stated that the investigation is in view of establishing the facts surrounding the allegations and apportioning appropriate disciplinary sanctions on whoever is found culpable.
The CP, while reassuring the general public that no stone will be left unturned in getting to the root of the matter and meting out appropriate sanctions, notes that the Nigeria Police Force remains a regimented and disciplined Agency of Government that has stopped at nothing to subject its personnel (male or female, or of senior or junior rank) to extant disciplinary codes, processes and punishments whenever they erred.
Consequently, the Commissioner has enjoined the general public to avoid creating and/or peddling skewed narratives over the incident as alleged, while urging all and sundry to count on the Command to activate the investigative and internal disciplinary mechanisms of the Nigeria Police Force to ensure that justice prevails.
