The blogger had exposed the activities of CSP Patrick Agbazue, an Anambra-based police officer who is being accused of being a serial killer. 

It had published a detailed report on the  atrocities committed by Agbazue and his team of officers, with a view to create awareness and also further ensure that Nigerians exercise more cautions in the country.

The blogger, recently highlighted the shocking nature of the alleged crimes, with victims reportedly being killed for fun and their bodies being deposited in a private morgue. 

News Mirror investigation shows that there have been several cases of missing persons in Anambra that, a development, which was attributed to Agbazue and his team. 

Findings further revealed that Agbazue and his team are  worse than their infamous predecessor, James Nwafor, who was accused of similar crimes during his tenure as head of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Anambra. 

Continuing further, Adejobi said that the Inspector General of Police, Alkali Baba Usman, has waded into the matter.
