The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Usman Alkali Baba, has condemned the grievous assault on a female police officer, Inspector Teju Moses, by her principal, a legal practitioner and human rights activist, Professor Zainab Duke.
Mapnews gathered the Mbaise born activist, dangerously assaulted the victim – her orderly in company of coconspirators on Tuesday September 20, 2022 at her residence in Garki, Abuja, due to the refusal of the victim to breach professional ethics by carrying out menial and domestic chores at her house.
To this, the IGP had directed a speedy prosecution of the Prof. and some members of her domestic staff who were co-conspirators and are currently in police custody, as the preliminary investigation shows overwhelming evidence of guilt on the part of the Prof. and her domestic staff.
The IGP equally tasked the investigative team to ensure that the fleeing suspect (a male) is arrested and made to face the wrath of the law.
Meanwhile, the IGP has ordered an immediate withdrawal of all police personnel attached to the professor. He expressed worry that an individual who claims to be an advocate for Human Rights could stoop so low to violate the rights of another individual, especially a police officer tasked with ensuring her protection.
