National Coordinator, Center for Basic Rights and Accountability Campaign, Prince Wiro has described as unprofessional the release of the interrogation clip of Hon. Chinyere who was arrested over alleged money laundering on Friday last week.
Igwe, a member of the House of Representatives was arrested with about 498USD in his car along Aba road a day to last saturday’s presidential election.
Wiro, in a statement said clips of interrogation of suspects are only released in courts.
He called on AIG Abutu Yaro, the supervising AIG in Rivers election to immediately order an investigation to ascertain how the video was leaked.
His statement reads
MY TAKE ON ARREST OF HON.CHIYERE IGWE
Nobody is above the law. Police can arrest,investigate and arraign anybody if Investigation finds him/her to be in contravention of the law.
However, it is highly UNPROFESSIONAL for an investigating officer to make public the video recording of interrogation of Hon.Chinyere Igwe or any other suspect. Such records are only released in court when necessary.
I call on AIG Abutu Yaro, the supervising AIG in Rivers election to immediately order an investigation to ascertain how the video record of interrogation of Hon Chinyere Igwe,member representing PHALGA Federal Constituency 11 was send to the public in clear violation of Investigation procedures, ethics and code of conduct of the Police.
The action of the officer who leaked the video to the public is highly UNPROFESSIONAL and it is my view that such officers should be unearthed and appropriate sanctions meted out on them by the Authority to serve as detterent to others.
