‘Cop involved in ex-minister’s daughter killing part of investigating team’

A police officer who was said to be part of the police team that allegedly killed Anita Akapson in Abuja, is involved in the investigation into the homicide, The PUNCH has learnt.

Akapson, the daughter of a former Minister of State for Finance, Nenadi Usman, was shot dead in her Honda Accord car in Katampe area of Abuja on October 13 by four policemen including the female officer said to be involved in the ongoing investigation into the incident.

Sources explained that the female cop was part of the investigating team, noting that her involvement in the probe into the case in which she is a suspect was unethical.

It was feared that the outcome of the investigation might be prejudicial in view of the roles being played by the female cop in the investigation.

Findings, however, indicate that only the Superintendent of Police who fired the fatal shot was being detained.
