Acting Top Cop, Atlee Rodney said the probe into allegations against Police Commissioner Wendel Robinson will be independently investigated.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Robinson has been suspended while allegations against him are investigated.<\/p>\n

Rodney said, \u201cI don\u2019t know where the misinformation came from but it is not possible, it\u2019s not legally correct, it\u2019s not ethically correct that I would be acting in his position and at the same time investigating the matter against him\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are still brainstorming and we\u2019re still trying to identify a suitable and qualified person to handle this matter,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>

Yesterday, both the main opposition\u00a0United Progressive Party and the new Democratic National Alliance called for an independent investigation after it was revealed that Rodney would lead the investigation.<\/p>\n
