The Edo State Judicial Panel of Enquiry for victims of SARS and related abuses has ordered the arrest of a retired Chief Superintended of Police (CSP) Carol Afegbai for failing to appear before it to explain her alleged role in the killing of a 500 Level student of University of Benin, Ibrahim Momodu in 2015.
A member of the panel, A. B. Thomas said that Afegbai who was then Divisional Police Officer of Ogida police station when Momodu was killed must appear before the panel to explain her roles in the killing if she has nothing to hide.
Thomas noted that if the court had not tried her when the case was first instituted, it was because she was not included in the suit, adding that she has to appear before the panel now that there is a petition against her.

He said, “If she was not arrested by the high court, if she was not arrested by the court of Appeal, it is because she was not a party it was state versus the man who pulled the trigger but before us here, she has been mentioned and if we end the case without summoning her, it will seem she is above the law. Therefore, we summon the Commissioner of Police to produce Mrs. Carol Afegba before this panel”, he said.
In her ruling, Chairman of the panel, Justice Ada Ehigiamusoe (rtd) ordered the immediate arrest of Carol Afegbai.
“Earlier, the panel had summoned the respondent to appear before this panel at today’s (Monday) proceedings and it is on record that she has failed to do so.
“It is of the view therefore of this panel that the respondent having failed to appear before the panel, a warrant of arrest should be issued for her to appear before the said panel.
