As shared by Harrison Gwamnishu, one Usman Nuhu, an officer attached to the Area Command in Effurun, Delta State, was captured in a widely circulated video unaliving a young man at close range.
According to the report, Usman Nuhu previously served with the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), formerly linked to the disbanded SARS unit, and has been associated with multiple allegations of extrajudicial killings. He was also posted to the Divisional Police Headquarters in Illah but was reportedly transferred due to repeated misconduct and excessive use of force.
It is now reported that he has been taken into detention. Although the video itself cannot be shared here, many have seen the disturbing footage.
Regardless of the allegation that the young man was armed, that alone does not justify a summary ex*****on. The determination of guilt and appropriate punishment lies strictly within the jurisdiction of a competent court of law, where every individual is entitled to a fair hearing.
While public confidence in the criminal justice system may be strained, the unlawful taking of life cannot be justified under any circumstance. Upholding the rule of law must remain paramount.
