Apo Six: Where is Danjuma Ibrahim?

 
Officer Danjuma Ibrahim was the most senior officer involved in the notorious Apo Six case. He was roundly indicted by testimony from five of the co-accused and eight other police witnesses who accused him of ordering the killings. The co-accused are Othman Abdulsalami , Nicholas Zakaria, Ezekiel Acheneje, Baba Emmanuel and Sadiq Salami. 
They are charged with the killing of Ifeanyi Ozor, Chinedu Meniru, Isaac Ekene, Paulinus Ogbonna, Anthony Nwodike and Augustina Arebun. There are some very interesting points about this case that should be noted...

1) The police tried to say the victims were armed robbers who fired first but a judicial panel of inquiry set up by former President Olusegun Obasanjo rejected the police's story and the government apologised on behalf of the police for their killings.
2) Police witnesses called at the inquiry testify that the victims were gruesomely murdered in cold blood.
3) The police armourer admitted weapons were planted on bodies.
4) It was all over a girl. Scorned by a lady he fancied, Ibrahim's pride was hurt and he retaliated by killing her and her friends.
These are all verifiable facts and you can check them for yourself. Where is Danjuma Ibrahim? Why has the police and the government stayed silent on this matter? Why are we all carrying on like nothing happened? It could be you or yours tomorrow.
