Danjuma Ibrahim, one of the
police officers fingered in the killing of six persons in Apo, Abuja, in 2005,
has been promoted to the rank of assistant inspector general of police (AIG).
Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general
of police, decorated him with the new rank on Monday at the force headquarters
in Abuja.
Ibrahim and five other police
officers had been accused of killing some persons, including five traders, on
June 7, 2005, while they were returning from a night party in the city.
During their trial, the other
officers and eight other police witnesses had testified that Ibrahim, the most
senior officer among them, ordered the killings.
But in November 2017, he was
controversially acquitted alongside two others by a federal high court in
Abuja, after pleading not guilty to the charges.
Following his acquittal, Ibrahim,
who was a deputy commissioner of police at the time, was promoted to the rank
of commissioner of police.
He was decorated with the rank of
AIG along with Istafanus Shettima, Jimoh Ozi-Obea, Bello Yahaya, Mukaddas
Garba, Dasuki Galandanchi, Fave Semali and Sadiq Abubakar.
