The ing of CSP Ekene Nwosu, a former officer in charge of the Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) at the Akwa Ibom State Police Command, has stirred strong emotions and public reactions across the state, News360 Nigeria reports.

While official police sources have remained silent since news of his death broke, social media platforms in Akwa Ibom have been flooded with messages of relief and celebration, with many recounting painful experiences allegedly suffered at his hands.

Prominent human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, was among those who reacted strongly to the news. In a statement posted via his official Facebook page, Effiong described Nwosu as “a despicable human being, a murderous and callous policeman who dehumanized his victims without remorse.”

Effiong recalled years of confrontation with the late officer, whom he accused of disregarding court orders, violating human rights, and operating as a mercenary for powerful political figures in the state. “Ekene had so much power in the state,” Effiong alleged, adding that successive police commissioners failed to rein him in due to his connections with corrupt politicians.

According to Effiong, Nwosu was repeatedly found culpable by courts for rights violations, including in cases handled by his law firm in Uyo. The lawyer expressed disappointment that despite several complaints, the officer remained in service for years until his eventual transfer to Ekiti State, where he reportedly died.

Effiong also revealed that Nwosu allegedly celebrated the death of a former Commissioner of Police who had initiated his transfer out of Akwa Ibom. “It is true that every mortal will taste death, but we should reflect on what we will be ed for,” Effiong remarked.

As of press time, the Nigeria Police Force has yet to issue an official statement on Nwosu’s ing. However, the public response has continued to underscore deep-seated grievances against police brutality and the unchecked excesses of security operatives in parts of the country.

Effiong's full statement reads:

“CSP EKENE NWOSU: WHEN A MURDEROUS AND ROGUE POLICE OFFICER DIES

I have read about the death of CSP Ekene Nwosu, the former OC of the Anti-Robbery Squad in the Akwa Ibom State Police Command Headquarters.

Since the news of his demise broke, a lot of people have been celebrating, with many recounting their ordeals and terrible experiences in the hands of Ekene.

Those who are against the celebration of his death are entitled to their opinions.

The Ekene Nwosu that I knew, and had occasions to confront, was a devil, a despicable human being, a murderous and callous policeman who went to the extremes to dehumanize his many victims.

Ekene is a perfect example of a rogue police officer, he subjected innocent people in Akwa Ibom to the most barbaric forms of dehumanization.

He had no respect for lawyers, he had no respect for human rights, and held the Judiciary in contempt.

The Courts found him culpable for the violation of the rights of citizens in many cases, including the ones handled by our law firm in Uyo.

The fact that such a despicable person was allowed to continue in service despite many the complaints against him speaks to the rot in the Police.

Ekene had so much power in the State.

Successive Commissioners of Police failed to checkmate him, partly because he was a mercenary for oppressive and corrupt politicians in Akwa Ibom State.

I am reliably informed that Ekene celebrated the death of the immediate past who finally ensured that he was transferred to Ekiti State where he died yesterday .

Politicians used him to target people.

Ekene was a devil, and I hope that other rogues in uniform will realize that they will die one day.

It is true that every mortal will taste death, but we should always reflect on what we will be ed for.

For Ekene, those who him for his many evil deeds are within their right.”

Third World Cop. They are notorious in the discharge of their duty. Very corrupt and often times work with criminal gangs, drugs cartel and corrupt government officials. They are backed by the state authorities who empowered and emboldened them in perpetuating their criminal activities.
There was one sometimes ago in MiniOkoro police station in PH, his name is Micah. We don't know his whereabouts now. That rogue police officer killed so many innocent people. He arrest and detain people at will, and the police authorities don't say pim. He also believes so much in his juju, and see himself as indestructible by no man.

They always die sudden and miserable death.

I've always said it, most of the police officers accused of crime and extortion the from Southern Nigeria, mostly from South South and South East

More police men need to see this

There is rejoicing when the wicked depart.

Hmm what an irony!

We'll all be ed for the kind of life we lived.

Stop making it a tribal thing. This is one weapon politicians have fashioned against you Nigerias. Who told you Igbos like the nonentity? And who told you his wickedness was only to non-Igbos?

Do you know how much I have suffered in the hands of one Benue police man. I have also been helped by a Benue police man.

A rogue is a rogue irrespective of tribe. After all the main police IG is not Igbo. Police is seriously corrupt in Nigeria. And criminal too. Are you new to that?

The man must be terribly wicked. I read many of things he did and people are not wishing him well. Many of the people wearing POLICE uniforms are devil reincarnate. I wish many of the Ekene Nwosu needs a new heart of repentance.

Eliot people he his medicine, and put a final end to his madness.

You shouldn't have even responded to him. I don't know if these people are cursed with this tribal thing.

Nigeria Police is a criminal organization and anyone who thinks it's only one tribe that is bad in Police Force needs to be stoned.

See them shouting marginalisation but the little power one of their own held he did terrible things with it.
