‘Why Ogwu has not made statement to police’ The coalition’s latest intervention followed the FCT Police Command spokeskerson Josephine Adeh’s statement on Friday saying Mr Ogwu had declined several police invitations since 19 August to make an official statement or “present relevant evidence to assist the investigation.” However, CWPPF said Mr Ogwu needed to take precaution before making a statement to the same police command at the centre of his allegations of assault.
