Inspector
General Of Police Reinstates Sam Chukwu, A Rogue Cop Implicated In High-Level
Kidnapping In Enugu, Sahara Reporter reports.
Nigeria’s
Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Dahiru Abubakar, has raised eyebrows by
reinstating Sam Chukwu, a senior police officer and fugitive from justice
indicted for masterminding an extensive list of criminal activities, including
running a kidnapping ring in Enugu State.
In
February 2012, Justice Afam Nwobodo of the Enugu High Court had issued an
arrest warrant for Sam Chukwu in connection with the 2009 kidnap of 19-year-old
Lotachukwu (Lota) Ezeudu. The kidnap victim, who was then a second-year
accountancy student at the University of Nigeria (Enugu campus), has never been
seen since, and is presumed dead.

Justice
Nwobodo had issued the arrest warrant after Mr. Chukwu failed to voluntarily
present himself in court for arraignment.
In a
development that has outraged other police officers, judicial workers and
civilians, Nigeria’s Inspector General of Police, Mr. Abubakar, recently
deployed Mr. Chukwu to serve as the new zonal provost at the Zone 9
headquarters of the Nigerian police based in Umuahia, the capital of Abia
State. The appointment took effect on July 17.
As part
of the duties in his new assignment, Mr. Chukwu will be responsible for
disciplining errant officers, among other duties.
He must have bribed his way back to the force. A big shame and i am sure he will continue with his bad act. See as he be like rotten potato and he had to kill that innocent looking boy. May thunder fire him and him family
