Two top police officers have been dragged before the Police Service Commission (PSC) for allegedly withdrawing criminal charges against a businessman. Police Nigeriapolice justice

Ikenga’s former employee, Kenneth Amadi, had petitioned the PSC, demanding sanctions against DIG, Michael Ogbizi and DCP Augustine Sanomi , for allegedly derailing the course of justice by withdrawing a criminal charge against the businessman without recourse to due process of law.

He said instead of proceeding with the out of court settlement after withdrawing of the charge, DIG Ogbizi, and DCP Sanomi wrote to the Ministry of Justice insisting that he should be arraigned for fraud. He claimed that in the bid to shut down his business, his former boss filed false petitions to both the police and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , alleging that he and his wife defrauded his company, an allegation, he said, the two agencies investigated and dismissed, after which the police instituted a criminal case of forgery against Ikenga.

Amadi in the petition told PSC that notwithstanding that DCP Sanomi was in the legal department of the police and was part of the report which exonerated him, “he and DIG Ogbizi caused the charge against Mr. Ikenga to be withdrawn while the counsel who withdrew the charge informed the court that the matter would be settled out of court.
