    By Emmanuel Udom

    A rights group under the aegis of Centre for Human Rights and Social
    Justice (CHRSJ) has petitioned the Inspector General of Police (IGP),
    Mr. Solomon Arase, Police Service Commission (PSC), Nigeria Police
    Council (NPC), Police Affairs Commission(PAC) and host of others over an alleged torturing of 21-Year-old Carpenter, Ganiyu Akinyemi to
    death by Kazeem Salawu, an Assistant Superintendent of Police(ASP) and four others at Aboru area of Lagos State.

    The rights group also forwarded the copies of the petition to the
    President Muhammadu Buhari,Lagos State governor,Mr Akinwumi Ambode, leadership of the National Assembly, National Human Rights Commission (HNRC), International Community and others, calling on the police authority to properly follow the section 316 to 324 of the criminal
    code cap;”C38” with case and materials extras, laws of the federation
    2004/2010 including questions and answers for police colleges act in
    this matter of Kazeem Salawu and his cohorts.

    It however demanded justice for the family of deceased, urging the
    Police authority in the country to ensure that justice was prevailed
    in the matter no matter whose ox is gored, adding that the Police
    authority in the land should also ensure that the other two suspects
    that were yet to be arrested, get arrested by the Police officers in
    charge of the matter in the Lagos State Criminal Investigation
    Department (SCID).

    According to the petition dated Tuesday 29TH December, 2015 and
    titled: ” Report of Mr. kazeem Salawu, an Assistant Superintendent of
    Police(ASP) attached to Ogun State Police Command, Eleweran, Abeokuta,
    Ogun State, Akeem Olatunbosun, Fuadh Omifioye, Yusuff (aka lemmy) and
    one other that were arrested for  illegal and unlawful torturing of a
    21-year-old carpenter, Ganiyu Akinyemi to death at Omifioye avenue
    ,Ago Estate,Aboru, Lagos State. Why Centre for Human Rights and Social
    Justice(CHRSJ) wants thorough investigation and your office proper
    intervention and true justice for the family of Ganiyu Akinyemi”,
    which was signed by the CHRSJ’s Executive Chairman,Comrade Adeniyi
    Alimi Sulaiman and a copy was made available to newsmen in Lagos State yesterday.

    Comrade Sulaiman urged the Police authority to warn the Deputy
    Commissioner of Police in charge of Lagos State Criminal Investigation
    Department (SCID) not to do anything that would pervert cause of
    justice on this mind boggling matter.

    The petition reads in part: “CHRSJ as a law abiding human rights group
    will not to allow the matter to be swept under the carpet until the
    perpetrators of the dastard act was brought to justice and we would
    not do anything to jeopardize the ongoing cosmetically investigation
    of the HOMICIDE “D4” OF the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) in the Lagos
    State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID),Adekunle bus stop
    ,Panti,Yaba over the subject matter of alleged MURDER of Ganiyu
    Akinyemi.

    “As a reputable human rights body which is absolutely committed to the
    human rights campaign in our society, we will do the needful by
    approaching a Court of competent jurisdiction to seek redress if the
    Police failed to bring justice to the family of Ganiyu Akinyemi for
    violating his fundamental human rights to life as stipulated by the
    Section 33&34 of the amended 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic
    of Nigeria”. Sulaiman therefore insisted that the Inspector General of Police (IGP)
    to use his good office to ensure that justice was prevailed over this
    mind boggling matter as justice has no colour than justice, describing
    the dastard act of Police officer (Kazeem) and his company as callous,
    barbaric, ungodly, evil, heartless, abomination, aberration, anathema,
    disheartening and criminality which against the natural justice.
