The
Police in Lagos have forced Olanrenju Gbedeogun, an officer of the
Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), to make a statement
that exonerates the police from the attack that led to the death of two
officers of the corps as well as led to the escape of some oil pipeline
vandals.
It was learnt that in a frantic bid to cover their tracks and back-up
their claim to the presidency that it was officers of NSCDC which
attacked the police, and that the police knew nothing about the death of
the two NSCDC men, the police in Lagos has subjected Gbedeogun to
severe torture reportedly supervised by the Lagos State Commissioner of
Police where a videotaped confession is said to have been obtained.
A police officer at the Owutu Police Station who felt bad about the
latest developments told us on condition of anonymity that if care was
not taken urgently Gbedeogun would be dead before daybreak. By that
time, the torture victim had already spent over 24hrs in detention,
contrary to the law. This is even as the IG of Police Mr Mohammed
Abubakar yesterday ordered the unconditional and immediate release of
all NSCDC officials in custody.
Gbedeogun was one of the NSCDC officers that escaped from the
vandalization scene where the police killed two of his colleagues. He
was found where he was hiding for fear of his life, and arrested by the
police.
