Edo State Commissioner of Police, AIG Abutu Yaro has removed the Divisional Police Officer of Auchi Division, CSP Ayodele Suleiman.
Gatekeepers News report that this follows the death of the suspect allegedly involved in the attack on the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministry, Apostle Johnson Suleman’s convoy.
The Command’s Deputy Public Relations Officer, Jennifer Iwegbu, in a statement said the DPO’s withdrawal was part of the measures to unravel the circumstances that led to the death of one of the surviving members of the gang that attacked the convoy and that he is to report at the state police command for debriefing.
The statement read, “The outgoing CP now AIG Abutu Yaro has ordered the withdrawal of CSP Ayodele Suleiman, DPO Auchi for debriefing at the State Headquarters with immediate effect.
“We urged members of the public to remain calm and patient, assuring that no stone would be left unturned to unearth the circumstances surrounding the incident.”
Gatekeepers News earlier reported that about seven persons have been reportedly killed after gunmen attacked the convoy of Apostle Johnson Suleman along the Auchi-Warrake Road, Edo State on Friday.
However, the only member of the suspected attackers who was arrested by vigilantes present in the community and handed over to the police has reportedly died.
In reaction to the alleged death of the suspect, Apostle Suleman took to his Twitter account accusing the police of trying to erase all evidence that could lead to the arrest of his attackers.
