The police are not appeased by the composition of the panel set up to probe the recent killing of undercover policemen in Taraba State by a military patrol team, CEOAFRICA source gathered.

Security sources told CEOAFRICA source that the police are still angry over the way the killing incident has so far been handled.

According to the sources, the police have expressed anxiety over the fact that the panel was headed by the same military whose operatives perpetrated the killings, making them a judge in their own case.

It was gathered that the police would have preferred a neutral body to inquire into the circumstances that led to the killing of the police operatives so that justice would be done to appease the dead.

However, the DHQ, through Colonel Onyema Nwachukwu, Director of Defence Information (DDI), told CEOAFRICA source that there was no need for anyone to be afraid or doubt the integrity of the panel, assuring that it would be very thorough in its investigation and do justice to all parties.

Colonel Nwachukwu urged all spokespersons of the various services to put away sentiment and desist from further statements on the matter, while the panel continued with its investigative assignment.
