KEY POINTS

• Activist Victor Ojei, popularly known as Wong Box, petitioned the IGP and PSC over alleged police misconduct in Delta State.
• He accused some SCID officers of suppressing witness statements and evidence linked to his criminal case.
• The petition seeks an independent investigation and possible disciplinary action against officers involved.

Delta State-based activist and social commentator Victor Ojei, popularly known as Wong Box Nigeria, has petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, and the Police Service Commission over alleged misconduct by officers of the Delta State Police Command.

In the petition submitted through the Young Nigerian Rights Organization (YNRO), Ojei accused officers attached to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Asaba, of suppressing evidence and conducting what he described as a one-sided investigation aimed at securing his prosecution.

The petition relates to Suit No: FHC/ASB/32C/2026, Commissioner of Police vs. Comrade Victor Ojei.

According to the petition, several witness statements, official documents, and correspondence submitted during the police investigation were allegedly excluded from the prosecution materials later filed before the Federal High Court in Asaba.

The petition named officers allegedly linked to the matter, including ASP Adibeli of the BULLRECEE Unit, the unit’s commander, and Barrister Ezeh of the SCID Legal Department in Asaba.

“This is what we are facing in Delta State lately. The Police must be neutral and dispassionate in their investigation,” part of the petition stated.

Ojei also claimed that the dispute leading to his prosecution was already before a High Court in Ogwashi-Uku under Suit No: O/88/2024, but alleged that documents relating to the ongoing civil matter were ignored during the investigation process.

Petition Seeks Independent Investigation

The activist argued that after obtaining Certified True Copies (CTCs) of court and investigation documents, it became clear that several materials submitted earlier were not reflected in the prosecution records before the court.

He maintained that the alleged omission undermined fairness and neutrality expected in criminal investigations.

The petitioners argued that the conduct of the officers may have violated provisions of the 1999 Constitution, the Nigeria Police Act 2020, and police disciplinary regulations guiding professional conduct.

Among the requests made to the IGP and PSC are calls for an independent administrative investigation into the officers’ actions, preservation and review of all original investigation records, and disciplinary measures if misconduct is established.

Ojei stressed that the petition was not intended to discredit the Nigeria Police Force but to promote accountability and due process within the institution.

He urged the authorities to determine whether material evidence was deliberately suppressed and whether proper procedures were followed in handling the case.
