The police added that the suspects and the case file were transferred to the Force Intelligence Rapid Response Team (IRRT) in Abuja after preliminary investigation for further investigation.

Nguroje refuted the allegations of torture, adding that at no point was the rights of any suspect violated.

He added that all arrests, interviews, and procedures were conducted in accordance with the international best practices and standard investigation procedures.

The PPRO further said that the trending video was a deliberate attempt to mislead the public, attract undue sympathy and undermine the credibility of the Command’s professional ethics.

“While we respect the rights of individuals to speak freely, we advise against spreading falsehoods that may be misleading and possibly jeopardise the ongoing investigations,” Nguroje said.
