Private investigator, Prof. Sandra Duru, has urged the Nigeria Police Force to fast-track action on her petition against Senator Natasha Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central in the National Assembly, saying there is no justification for further delay in the matter.
Duru, who is based in the United States, told journalists in Abuja on Friday that the petition—alleging murder and human organ harvesting—was submitted to the Inspector-General of Police through the Police Monitoring Unit as far back as April 2025.
She expressed dissatisfaction that, despite what she described as “admissible evidence” already in police custody, no suspect had been charged to date. According to her, the gravity of the allegations requires urgent and decisive action rather than prolonged reviews.
“A straightforward criminal matter of this seriousness does not require indefinite examination,” Duru said. “Continued delays, vague assurances, and repeated references to ‘looking into the files’ are no longer acceptable.”
She warned that if there is no immediate and transparent action on or before January 25, she would initiate what she described as an organised and strategic response across selected local and international media platforms. Duru also said she would involve relevant domestic and international agencies to ensure justice is served.
However, a reliable source within the Nigeria Police Force dismissed claims that the petitions were being ignored. The source said the Inspector-General of Police had already directed investigations into all submissions made by Duru.
According to the source, feedback has been received on some aspects of the petitions, including a criminal defamation complaint in which a senior police officer was mentioned.
“The Nigeria Police Force, under the leadership of IGP Kayode Egbetokun, will not ignore genuine criminal complaints from any citizen,” the source said. “Prof. Duru’s petitions are being attended to. She will be contacted when necessary, and the outcome will be made known to her upon completion of the investigations.”
