In a special tribute for the late commissioner, the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Mohammed Abubakar said the police would leave no stone unturned towards tracking down his killers.

He said although Asadu had been buried, investigations on the circumstances that led to his death would not be buried until his killers were brought to book.

The IGP, who was represented by Deputy Inspector General of Police, Mr. Kachi Udorji said Asadu's killers should not rejoice as "they had murdered sleep and would never sleep. Sleep shall forever elude you".

He described the late commissioner as 'a fine officer and gentleman', who discharged his duty with characteristic efficiency and speed.

"So, I want to assure all Nigerians that although Asadu has been buried, we shall continue working hard to find his killers. I want to reiterate the commitment of the Nigerian Police that no stone will be left un-turned in our quest to unmask the perpetrators of this crime".
