The petition stated that it took the combined efforts of the men of the Department of the State Security and the Joint Task Force in the Area to rescue them after they were brutally assaulted by the heavily armed gang hired by the Federal Lawmaker.

“Consequently, the petitioners in their prayers are urging the State Police Command to amongst others, arrest Hon. Mutu and his terrorist gang, investigate the issue and initiate criminal prosecution against the legislator and his co-conspirators to serve as a deterrent to others.”
