Danjuma Ibrahim, one of the police officers fingered in
the killing of six persons in Apo, Abuja, in 2005, has been
promoted to the rank of assistant inspector general of police
(AIG).
Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police, decorated him with
the new rank on Monday at the force headquarters in Abuja.
Ibrahim and five other police officers had been accused of
killing some persons, including five traders, on June 7, 2005,
while they were returning from a night party in the city.
During their trial, the other officers and eight other police
witnesses had testified that Ibrahim, the most senior officer among
them, ordered the killings.
But in November 2017, he was controversially
acquitted alongside two others by a federal high
court in Abuja, after pleading not guilty to the charges.
Following his acquittal, Ibrahim, who was a deputy commissioner
of police at the time, was promoted to the rank of commissioner of
police.
He was decorated with the rank of AIG along with Istafanus
Shettima, Jimoh Ozi-Obea, Bello Yahaya, Mukaddas Garba, Dasuki
Galandanchi, Fave Semali and Sadiq Abubakar.
