Three senior police officers attached to the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS), Cross River State Police Headquarters. who were indicted in the extra-judicial killing of one Derek Maurice Ben and 6 others on April 17th, 2014, have been summarily dismissed from the Nigeria Police, just as they will face the full wrath of the law, reports Cross River Watch.
The officers who include DSP Horsfall Ntinefruo, ASP Etim Anoke and ASP Raphael Ewah, were dismissed after appearing before the Police Service Commission that sat in Abuja recently.
Their dismissal brings the number to 14 after 11 officers involved in the case, were dismissed earlier, and are awaiting trial.
The 11 officers dismissed in August this year after facing the Police orderly room trial were Insp. Erienekpa Fireman, Sgt. Anyin Gregory, Sgt. Lawrence Egbe, Cpl. Okay Onyama, Sgt. Anthony Idoko and Cpl. Unyime Jumbo.
Others include Cpl. Edidiong Jeremiah, Insp. Gershom Isotuk, Sgt. Okili Akpokabowei, Cpl. Afam Michael, and Cpl. Patrick Kokei.
Meanwhile, the family of late Ben has been full of thanks to the State Director of Public Prosecution in Ministry of Justice, for the support he has extended in ensuring that justice is done in this manner.
The family made the commendation through their Legal Counsel, Barrister James Ibor, in a letter dated 7th October, 2015.
