Linus Aleke in AbujaThe Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre (RULAAC) has petitioned the Inspector General (IG) of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, over the tragic killing of Police Inspector Shedrack Amechi by another state agent in Ebonyi State.
The petition further called for accountability by bringing all those responsible—whether directly or through command responsibility—to justice, in order to deter future inter-agency conflicts and impunity.
Inspector Amechi was allegedly shot and killed on Wednesday, 27 August 2025, at Amaeze, Ishiagu, in Ivo Local Government Area, while on duty to arrest a suspect reportedly shielded by other state operatives.
“In the confrontation that followed, one operative discharged his rifle, fatally wounding Inspector Amechi,” the executive director revealed.
The petition also demanded adequate redress and compensation for the Amechi family, recognising the hardship caused by the loss of their breadwinner.
