Reports reveal that the police personnel are alleged to be providing security protection to some men who had always claimed they were working for the state government to recover land when the team from CP’s office invaded the place and arrested them.

The eyewitnesses revealed that many land owners had experienced untold hardships in the hands of the land grabbers who had inflicted pains on them using their fake police accomplices. They commended CP Disu for his intervention which they said will serve as a deterrent to others.

One of the land owners in the area, Mr. Innocent Amadi, narrated how the suspected land grabbers intimidated and harrassed them daily with policemen and other security agents in the area. He lauded the intervention of the State Police Commissioner.
