A statement by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Odiko Macdon, said Isaac, who was being investigated for suspected criminal offences, took ill and was taken to Police clinic where he died.
Macdon, however, denounced the news in the social media that the said Isaac was beaten to death by a Police personnel.

While consoling with the family over the untimely death, the police commissioner assured that the officer would face the full weight of the law if found culpable and would be held accountable for his action.
