THE Coalition of Concerned Civil Society Organisations (CCCSO) has given Rivers State Attorney General 14 days to open trial against Superintendent of Police (SP), Benson Abisoye and the Investigating Police Officer (IPO), for alleged torture to death of Chima Ikwunado in Port Harcourt back in 2019.
At a briefing Wednesday in Port Harcourt, to express worry over repeated cases of police brutality and extrajudicial murders in Rivers, CCCSO, said it would escalate a second wave of national and global anger on the case of Ikwunado if the Rivers Attorney General and other relevant authorities ignored the two weeks ultimatum.
