The police in Anambra State, south-east Nigeria, have reportedly failed to produce a 23-year-old man arrested for alleged murder in the state.
The suspect, Kosisochukwu Asadu, was arrested by police operatives from Rapid Response Squad (RRS) Awkuzu in Oyi Local Government Area of the state on 11 November, 2022.
RRS Awkuzu is a police unit created from the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) following the #EndSARS protest across Nigeria in October 2020.
Mr Asadu was arrested alongside his 19-years-old sister, Daberechukwu Asadu in Igbo-Ukwu, a community in Aguata Local Government Area of the state.
The police accused the duo of being members of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra and being responsible for the murder of three persons said to be members of a vigilante group in the Igbo-Ukwu Community.
They hail from Ibagwa-Aka, a community in Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area of Enugu State, but reside with their parents in Igbo-Ukwu Community, Anambra State.
On 21 February, Ms Asadu was arraigned before Nnewi Magistrate Court, which remanded her in prison for the alleged murder, according to Harrison Gwamnishu, a human rights activist, who raised alarm about the incident on Twitter on 8 April.
