Police said ASP Acaye is being wanted because he swore to serve and protect people from harm. Killing a suspected killer of his brother, it has been described as “unfortunate” because he abandoned his sworn oath to uphold the sanctity of life, when he fatally wounded the victim.
“His actions constitute a gross abuse of police authority, for use of excessive force, which resulted into a senseless murder of Omona Simon. We encourage him to hand over and defend himself,” Enanga added.
Police have said: “To the victim’s family, friends and relatives, we regret the harm caused by our officer. We shall not rest until when he is arrested and charged to court for murder and theft of a police motorcycle.”
