A socio-cultural organization from the South East, Aka Igbo, has formally requested the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to remove Aboki Danjuma, the Commissioner of Police in Imo State.
The petition, dated June 18, 2024, was signed by Nwankwo Obiora and Nwachukwu Ezeji.

The group alleges that Commissioner Danjuma, acting on the orders of the re-elected governor, has been unlawfully arresting and detaining state government appointees since November 2023.
They accuse him of human rights abuses, including holding individuals in police custody for over three months without trial.
The petition highlights the CP’s failure to protect citizens and combat the activities of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who have been implicated in attacks on security personnel.

Instead, they claim Danjuma has been targeting government appointees and members of the APC, acting contrary to Section 4 of the Police Act.
The document details an incident from November 2023, where Noble Atulegwu, the former Commissioner for Lands, was arrested on the governor’s orders.
Atulegwu fell ill while in custody and had to be taken to the police clinic.
