A human rights group-Doing Democracy Movement (DDM) has demanded the dismissal of Joseph Mbu-Assistant
Inspector General of Police, Zone 7, Abuja. The demands came
after the arrest of African Independent Television journalist Amaechi
Anakwue, on Mbu's orders, for
describing him as "controversial" in a TV Programme.
DDM convener Anyakwee Nsirimovu condemned
Mbu's actions, saying, “DDM calls on all social forces in Nigeria and
Nigerians of all shades of opinion to see the ultimate hazard in
discouraging thought, expression, hope and imagination as exemplified in
Mbu’s latest act of impunity; as a fundamental threat that must be
resisted if we must remain free and our government valuable."
“To void citizens from blowing off steam is to quicken the explosion
of society. Collectively therefore, we should be united upon insisting
that an omnipotent AIG Mbu has no place in civilised policing in
Nigeria, therefore, should be dismissed forthwith.”
