During the parade of the suspects, Aniagwu testified about Emeka and his mother, Mrs Nwogbo, the proprietress of the school, Arise and Shine Nursery and Primary. Asaba’s school.
He stated that the state administration was highly worried about the occurrence and that the government will conduct an investigation.
“We are profoundly concerned as a state government about the circumstances surrounding the victim’s death.”
The government values every resident’s life, which is why we want to see that justice is served in this case.
“We want to urge to the general population to be calm and restrained.” “Let’s give the cops a chance to perform their job properly,” he remarked.
The commissioner promised that the state government will work together with the police to conduct a thorough investigation and prosecute anyone found guilty.

On Feb. 10, the command received a report of the suspected manhandling of the 19-month-old toddler and launched an inquiry, he said.
“However, we then received information that the youngster died at the Federal Medical Centre in Asaba at 9.30 a.m. on Saturday, therefore we detained the culprits.”
We’re waiting for the hospital’s autopsy report, and we’re pleading with everyone to remain calm.”
