HAFIZ INUWA AND THE DIVISIONAL POLICE OFFICER IN UGHELLI NORTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT: MR. KELVIN ZUOKUMOR: A CALL FOR REDRESS<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">We are firm of Legal Practitioners and Consultants and our professional services has been retained by the Evwreni Elites Forum (hereinafter referred to as \u201cour client\u201d), on whose instruction we write you this letter. If this letter shall be called a petition, it is for the wants of a better title and for the Police Service Commission\u2019s urgent intervention.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Our client, a reputable and socially responsible Organization in Evwreni, through its accredited executives reliably informed us of following incontrovertible facts and same reproduced hereunder for ease of reference:<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">1. That the Commissioner of Police Delta State Command and the Divisional Police Officer Mr. Kelvin Zuokumor have compromised in their professional duty in the crisis blowing in Evwreni, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">2. That despite the several killings by the Ovie of Evwreni His Royal Highness Oghenekevwe led vigilante group, the State Commissioner of Police and the Divisional Police Officer have not made any arrest and not prepared to make arrest upon which we present this petition.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">3. That the several killings going on in the community by the vigilante group, reported to the State Police Authority, there is a speculation that the police command has gone into alliance with the Ovie and some faceless people in the community blocking arrest of criminals.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">4. For the avoidance of doubt, one Mr. Omoghene was brutally murdered in a cold blood, his corpse taken away, till date his corpse has not been found and no action taken either by the Divisional Police Officer or the Commissioner of Police.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">5. Again one Marcus Uba was attacked, shot severally by the vigilante group, the matter was also reported to the Divisional Police Officer, no steps was taken by the police and today those involved are moving freely in the street of the community.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">6. The State Commissioner of Police some ago directed the Divisional Police Officer to mop up arms in possession of the vigilante group, the Divisional Police Officer Mr. Kelvin Zuokumor deliberately refused to carry out the directives leading built up arms which the Ovie and his group uses at will on the people.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">7. On June 20th 2020, the Former Executive Director Projects Engr. Sam Adjogbe was attacked by the Evwreni Vigilante Group along the East West road, a few kilometers to the Community, the matter was reported to the Divisional Police Officer, no arrest was made even when there was a confessional statement by some of the vigilante.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">8. As we put up this petition neither the State Commissioner of Police nor the Divisional Police Officer have taken steps to address the Evwreni crisis as we are reliably informed that they have been compromised.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">9. Whilst the dust of killings by the vigilante is been covered up by the police in the area, the vigilante attacked and killed a 34 years old Sylvester Adjogbe in a broad daylight whose corpse is now deposited in mortuary.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">10. There is growing speculation that the Divisional Police Officer is in synergy with the Ovie and the vigilante backed by the police State Police Command.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">11. We are reliably been informed that the, the Divisional Police Officer gives advance information to the Ovie and his vigilante prior to any arrest of suspects leading to their escape.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">It is against the backdrop of the above, we have been instructed to lodge this complaint to your office with a view to carrying out a full scale investigation into these complaint against the State Commissioner of Police and Divisional Police Officer who appears clearly to have the backing the Evwreni vigilante group. We are also calling for their immediate transfer to avoid more damage not to only the community, the Local Government and the State in general.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Find attached copies of the following;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">1.
