[OPINION BY AZU ISHIEKWENE] Sly: Why we can’t walk away from this crime scene | TheCable

Odumosu said the state Director of Public Prosecutions had advised that the evidence provided was insufficient to charge the suspects for murder.

One year before Premier Academy, a parent in Deeper Life High School, Uyo, southern Nigeria, shared the grief of her 11-year-old son’s abuse on social media, with pictures of how the boy had been sexually molested and brutalised by his schoolmates for bedwetting. According to him, on January 7 when Odumosu said the DPP advised that there was insufficient evidence from the police investigations to file any charges, never mind a charge for murder, there was, in fact, no DPP in Lagos. On what basis and on whose advice did the police decide not to file, if there was no DPP as alleged?

A DPP typically does one of three things with police investigations of this nature: advise that evidence is sufficient to sustain the charges; request that more investigation should be done where necessary to sustain the charges; or advise that the charges should be dropped where the results of the investigations are insufficient.

The room for doubt is so much that it is disgraceful for the police to say on the one hand that the toxicology report, one of the useful elements in the search for a cause, is not ready, and yet on the other, rush head-on to close the case file. The shabby handling of this matter, especially since that press conference, has further damaged public confidence and reinforced the suspicion that the authorities would take sides with the top dogs and the well-connected wherever the evidence may lead.
