Uzoma Mba
Stakeholders have called on the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to intervene in the investigation of a viral video showing armed men, said to be policemen, during an operation at a Ghanaian-owned investment in Abuja.
They urged the police authorities to establish whether the armed men were genuine police personnel, whether they were acting under lawful authority, and to clarify the circumstances surrounding the operation, saying a transparent investigation would help reassure both local and foreign investors of Nigeria’s commitment to the rule of law.
The incident, which occurred on Monday, June 29, at the Gallery Clubhouse, a recreational facility owned by a Ghanaian investment firm in River Park Estate, has generated widespread reactions after a video of the operation surfaced online.
