The Nigeria Police Force said it
complied with an Akure High Court order to release two suspects, Adefemi Mafimisebi
and Prince Wemimo Mafimisebi over murder case.
The reaction followed allegation
that that Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, faces contempt of court
for disobeying the court order to release the suspects.
A statement by the Force Spokesman,
acting DCP Jimoh Moshood, said that there was no time the Force disobeyed the
court order.
“Inspector-General of Police did
not disobey the ruling of an Akure High Court order for the release of two
suspects.
“The Police complied with the
order of the court, suspects were released on August 30”.
Moshood explained that the
suspects were arrested and investigated for conspiracy to murder Adebowale
Bello and other sundry capital offences.
The spokesman added that that
there was no contempt or violation of court order by the police in the case.
“Members of the public are hereby
enjoined to disregard the story in its entirety as misleading and mischievous.
“The Nigeria Police Force as a
law abiding institution has regard and utmost respect for the Judiciary.
“The Force will also continue to
partner with the media to ensure that the rule of law prevails and obedience to
court rulings are adhered to,” he said.
