Some families of alleged victims of a suspected torture ring operating in Njaba Local Government Area of Imo State have cried out for justice following the controversial release of Chibuike Duru, popularly known as “Nwamgbenta,” from police custody despite grave allegations of murder, kidnapping, torture and extortion hanging over him.
The families, alongside survivors and community members in Egwedu Autonomous Community, Atta, say they now live in fear after the suspect was reportedly freed twice within days by the Imo State Police Command, with gunshots allegedly fired in celebration shortly after his latest release.
Also, human rights organisation, the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety), in a statement on Monday demanded the immediate re-arrest and prosecution of Chibuike Duru.
In the strongly worded statement in Enugu, the group accused the Imo State Police Command of frustrating investigations ordered by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Olatunji Disu, and shielding the suspect despite multiple petitions and testimonies from victims and witnesses.
