Rights Group Calls for Justice over 24 Year Old Man who Died in Police Custody

A human rights group has called for justice following the tragic death of a 24-year-old man who was arrested by the police. The incident has sparked concerns and demands for accountability from both the victim’s family and activists.

According to a statement from the Police Public Relations Officer of the State Command, SP Bright Edafe, the deceased was not tortured while in custody. He further stated that if the family suspects foul play, an autopsy would be the appropriate course of action to determine the cause of death.

The case has drawn significant attention from the public, with many questioning the circumstances surrounding the young man’s death. Human rights organizations are urging authorities to conduct a transparent and thorough investigation to ensure justice is served.

Meanwhile, the police maintain that they followed due process and insist there was no misconduct involved. However, the rights group argues that a comprehensive review of police procedures is necessary to prevent similar incidents in the future.

This development comes amid broader discussions about police accountability and human rights in the country. Activists stress that cases like this should not go unnoticed and are pushing for policy reforms to safeguard the rights of individuals in police custody.

Authorities have yet to announce whether an independent probe will be conducted, but public pressure continues to mount for justice and transparency in the case.
