Some legal practitioners, on Monday, criticised the Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, Aderemi Adeoye, for engaging in business activities that could bring disrepute to the Nigeria Police Force.

This is just as the force continues to keep mum over the allegations levelled against the CP by some aggrieved members of ATIC Enterprise.

PUNCH Metro learned that the club is fashioned in a cooperative society model and is said to be an online investment set up by Adeoye, whereby members invest money to create wealth for themselves.

PUNCH Metro had reported that some aggrieved members of the club said they made investments in the purchase of landed properties but were yet to receive allocations after five years of payment.In separate interviews with PUNCH Metro, they also accused the CP of premeditated fraud, a claim Adeoye denied in another telephone chat with our correspondent.

Adeoye had told PUNCH Metro, “We bought land as a cooperative. And we have one document for it in the name of the cooperative for each purchase. Am I supposed to tear the document into pieces and then begin to share them? We are an online investment platform. We published all the receipts and payments on our page, and every member sees them.”

The members had earlier petitioned the Inspector-General of Police on February 1, 2024, detailing their grievances. However, since the acknowledgement of the petition on February 5, 2024, which was sighted by our correspondent on Monday, the members claimed they had yet to receive any correspondence from the police force.
