Anambra Attorney General Launches Probe into Police-Bailiff Clash

The Anambra State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Tobechukwu Nweke, has established a fact-finding committee to investigate a physical confrontation that occurred between police officers and court bailiffs while executing a court order. This incident gained public attention after a video circulated on social media, showing police officers attempting to arrest a court bailiff who was executing a court judgment, resulting in a physical altercation.

Nneka Umeozulu, the Director of Public Prosecutions, stated that the Attorney General was informed about the video and the statements made by individuals believed to be court bailiffs against the involved police officer. Complaints from several individuals alleging offences related to the incident have also been received by the Ministry of Justice, prompting the investigation.

Umeozulu urged those involved to remain calm and patient until the investigation concludes.
