Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force in Potiskum, Yobe State have been accused of brutality, negligence and disruption of justice in a case involving two officers in Potiskum, Yobe State.
In a letter addressed to the Chief Registrar of the High Court of Justice in Damaturu, the Chief Magistrate Court in Potiskum alleged that the two police officers were arraigned on charges of criminal conspiracy, causing grievous hurt, and robbery.
However, despite multiple adjournments and court orders, the police failed to produce the suspects, even as they did not honour summons.
The court further alleged that the case was transferred to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps for investigation, but the suspect was released on bail and failed to appear at the NSCDC Office.
The NSCDC Public Relations Officer, Bala Garba, confirmed the incident, while the spokesman of the Yobe State Police Command, Dungus Abdulkarim, stated that the case was under investigation.
