Nigeria Police Force has appealed to the public to allow the judicial process to take its full course without undue speculation or interference and urged all stakeholders, including members of the media, to present information responsibly and allow the legal process to determine the outcome of the matter in the interest of justice in the case of one Mr. Nnamdi Emeh, who is currently facing trial for alleged criminal offenses.
This was contained in a statement signed by Force Public Relations Officer ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi. He said Nigeria Police Force remains steadfast in its resolve to enforce the law impartially and to safeguard the rights of every individual as enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution.
Adejobi said the attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to recent reports circulating in the media concerning one Mr. Nnamdi Emeh, who is currently facing trial for alleged criminal offenses. He said that “NPF wishes to clarify that Mr. Emeh was lawfully apprehended following credible allegations against him, which were thoroughly investigated and presented before a competent court of law. The charges preferred against him were duly filed, and he was arraigned before the Federal High Court, Awka, in line with due process.
He said, “it is important to emphasize that the judiciary operates independently, and the court retains the exclusive prerogative to evaluate the evidence presented, determine bail conditions, and take any further necessary actions as guided by the law. Mr. Emeh was granted bail on terms established by the court. It therefore behoves on the suspect to take steps to meet such conditions and not resort to unnecessary media rampage”.
Adejobi stated further that, “NPF reaffirms its commitment to upholding the rule of law, ensuring justice, and maintaining the highest standards of professionalism. And that the Force is also mindful of its duty to investigate allegations against all persons, including its officers, and to subject any suspect to the established legal process”.
He said while the case against Mr. Emeh continues in court, we appeal to the public to allow the judicial process to take its full course without undue speculation or interference.
