The late cops were murdered in connection with an alleged robbery in the town during a gun battle with operatives of the Delta State Special Anti-Robbery Squad.
The Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO), had on Tuesday, threatened legal action against the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, and the police hierarchy over the matter.
The body, which communicated its position via the state chairman, Comrade Morris Alagoa, in Yenagoa, had also called for an investigation into the incident.
