In the past few months, some communities in Cross River State has been at the mercy
police officers
where innocent citizens and perceived enemies of some politicians have
been killed at random by officers of the law and their bodies sold to he
anatomy department of the University of Calabar.
But
CrossRiverWatch, a fearless online publication has been doggedly
pursuing the different cases, was able to get pictures of the remains of
the six victims of the extra judicial killing by the notorious '
Calabar Killer Cops'.
According
to the platform, the victims were gruesomely murdered by the blood
thirsty cops on April 17, 2014 after they were branded robbers by the
cops.
"An investigative panel set up by the
former AIG Zone 6 after CrossRiverWatch exposed the lie, indicted the
policemen and recommended their trial for murder.
Though
some powerful politicians tried and are still trying to cover up the
killer cops, 14 of them have since been rounded up and are presently in
custody awaiting the resumption of courts from strike for their trial to
commence.
After ten months of hide and
seek and repeated denial by police authorities that they did not know
where the bodies where, CrossRiverWatch was able to get access to the
bodies at the University of Calabar anatomy department."
