The reason for their arrest and transfer has been linked to allegations of misconduct, abuse of power, and violation of human rights.
According to reports, CSP Agbazue and his team were accused of extorting money from motorists and traders around Onitsha and its environs. They were also accused of kidnapping, subjecting innocent citizens to inhumane treatment, including torture and unlawful detention.
