The Police Stakeholders Partnership Forum in Anambra State and the Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre have called for a fair trial for Mr Nnamdi Emeh, the whistleblower who made revelations of atrocities of organ harvesting and extra-judicial killings allegedly committed by some top police officers of the Anambra State command.
The PSPF and RULAAC, rising from a meeting in Awka, on Thursday, where it reviewed the state of security and human rights activities in Anambra State, insisted that the whistleblower be given a fair and open trial.
Emeh, a serving National Youths Service Corps member, who was serving as an IT consultant to the Anambra State Police Command, and attached to the Rapid Response Squad, Awkuzu, has been accused of hacking into a suspect’s account and stealing the sum of N47million from the account.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Echeng Echeng, disclosed this during a press briefing in Awka last Friday, adding that the whistleblower is in police custody since he was arrested and his case is already before the Federal High Court.
Reacting to the development in a communique, after the meeting, signed by the coordinator of the Anambra PSPF, Prince Chris Azor, and the Executive Director, RULAAC, Mr Okechukwu Nwanguma, the groups said, “Although the police had claimed that the case is now in court, having filed charges against the accused, he remained in police custody more than two months after he was arrested.”
