The Nigeria Police Force has handed over officers implicated in the extrajudicial killing of Mene Ogidi in Effurun, Delta State, to the Attorney General of the Federation for vetting and prosecution, following the ratification of their dismissals by the Police Service Commission (PSC).
Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Anthony Okon Placid, disclosed this during a press briefing at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, describing the move as a demonstration of the Force’s renewed commitment to accountability, justice, and institutional discipline.
He explained that the dismissal of the officers was carried out in line with established procedures and subsequently ratified by the Police Service Commission, as required by law.
He added that all officers found culpable would face criminal prosecution.
Placid further provided updates on the ongoing investigation, revealing that a driver who allegedly delivered a parcel from Yenagoa in connection with the incident, as well as two members of a vigilante group, are currently at large.
He said efforts were ongoing to apprehend the fleeing suspects and bring them to justice.
The Nigeria Police Force reassured the public that justice would be served, particularly for the family of the deceased, while reiterating its commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring accountability within its ranks.
