Lawyer Publicly “Celebrates” The Death Of A Police Officer

Human Rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong, on May 31, used social media to openly “celebrate” the death of a police officer.

According to Effiong, the passing of CSP Ekene Nwosu, previously the OC of the Anti-Robbery Squad at the Akwa Ibom State Police Command Headquarters, has been joyously received by some individuals in the state.

Inibehe labeled the deceased a “devil” who was “power drunk and had no respect for lawyers, human rights, or the rule of law.”

In his statement: “CSP EKENE NWOSU: WHEN A MURDEROUS AND ROGUE POLICE OFFICER DIES

I have read about the death of CSP Ekene Nwosu, the former OC of the Anti-Robbery Squad in the Akwa Ibom State Police Command Headquarters.

Since the news of his demise broke, a lot of people have been celebrating, with many recounting their ordeals and terrible experiences in the hands of Ekene.

Those who are against the celebration of his death are entitled to their opinions.

The Ekene Nwosu that I knew, and had occasions to confront, was a devil, a despicable humanFalling human being, a murderous and callous policeman who went to extremes to dehumanize his many victims.

Ekene is a perfect example of a rogue police officer; he subjected innocent people in Akwa Ibom to the most barbaric forms of dehumanization.

He had no respect for lawyers, he had no respect for human rights, and held the Judiciary in contempt.

The Courts found him culpable for the violation of the rights of citizens in many cases, including the ones handled by our law firm in Uyo.

The fact that such a despicable person was allowed to continue in service despite many complaints against him speaks to the rot in the Police.

Ekene had so much power in the State.
Successive Commissioners of Police failed to checkmate him, partly because he was a mercenary for oppressive and corrupt politicians in Akwa Ibom State.

I am reliably informed that Ekene celebrated the death of the immediate past CP who finally ensured that he was transferred to Ekiti State where he died yesterday.

Politicians used him to target people.

Ekene was a devil, and I hope that other rogues in uniform will realize that they will die one day.

It is true that every mortal will taste death, but we should always reflect on what we will be remembered for.

For Ekene, those who remember him for his many evil deeds are within their right.”

A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
