“Solomon Adamu, was the son of a pastor attached to the Mobile Police Training Camp, Gwoza. He was said to have hit at a dog that has frequently barked at him.

“The dog was reported to have died as a result of the kick and that infuriated the three policemen who subsequently subjected Solomon to severe punishment and he died in the process”.

“Though the father of the deceased came forward to express his unwillingness to prosecute the dismissed policemen but the Police Force will be going ahead with their prosecution.” Tanko said

He said” the prosecution of the case was not for the deceased’s father to determine as it was a criminal case and under the purview of the state.

“The deceased’s father has been asked to tell the court that he was not interested in prosecuting the three dismissed police officer as the police would go the full distance to see that justice is done and its image is not tarnished.

'The determination to prosecute the case stem from the need to withhold the Inspector General`s transformation agenda and zero tolerance to indiscipline and corruption, they cannot but be made to face the consequence of their action.”

He added that the dismissal of the officers will further serve as deterrent to others, disclosing that they have already been charged to court.
