Edo: CP removes DPO over killing of suspect who attacked Johnson Suleman’s convoy
Regarding the alleged shooting of a suspect detained for attacking the convoy of Apostle Johnson Suleman, General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministry, the Divisional Police Officer of Auchi Division, CSP Ayodele Suleiman, has been fired by the Edo State Commissioner of Police, AIG Abutu Yaro.

For a debriefing, the DPO must appear before the state police command.

The DPO's retreat, according to a statement by the Command's Deputy Public Relations Officer Jennifer Iwegbu, was one of the steps taken to determine what exactly happened to one of the remaining members of the gang who attacked the convoy.

“The outgoing CP now AIG Abutu Yaro has ordered the withdrawal of CSP Ayodele Suleiman, DPO Auchi for debriefing at the State Headquarters with immediate effect,” the statement read.

The statement urged members of the public to remain calm and patient, assuring that no stone would be left unturned to unearth the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Recall that one of the suspected attackers of Apostle Johnson Suleman was said to have been arrested by vigilantes and handed over to the police, who reportedly killed him.

Following the alleged killing of the suspect, Apostle Suleman in a tweet accused the police of trying to erase all evidence that could lead to the arrest of his attackers.

It was learnt that the pastor had been in Tanzania with his family and was on his back to Auchi when the gunmen attacked his convoy on Friday at about 5pm along Warrake roles a few kilometres from his hometown in Auchi.

Seven persons, including his two police orderlies, two drivers and two female domestic workers in his convoy were killed during the attack.
