Inuwa in his post on a social media platform described the fallen anti-cult boss as a “friend and working colleague,” insisting that his killers “will know no peace until they are arrested, investigated and eventually charged to court.”
He expressed deepest condolences, saying that the late Emu “was with me in my office up till evening of Friday and planned to meet this week again.
“We laughed and had fruitful discussions that day before enemies of the state sniffed life out of him yesterday (Saturday).
“Please while two wrongs cannot make a right, I want to plead that nobody should take the law into his/her hands.
“I assure you as the Commissioner of Police that those who murdered our friend and working colleague will know no peace until they are arrested, investigated and eventually charge to court.
“I assure you that even in death, late Austin deserves justice and those who perpetrated the act must be brought to justice. So please, all should partner with the police to bring them to justice.”
