Police brutality: youths demand for justice for a young trader that died in detention without committing any crime in Lagos..
EXTRA JUDICIAL KILLING OF OKECHUKWU ALBERT BY POLICE.
It may no longer be a news that the above mentioned person and his friend, Alex Ejimofor met their unfortunate situation in the hand of Festac police as they came down from Benin Republic during the weekend when they were about to proceed home.
They made a withdrawal of #10,000 which Okechukwu' mother sent them from ATM In Festac and proceeded to bode a vehicle back to Aguleri. Unfortunately, the Hausa Okada rider left the right route and alighted them at Alakija which had no connectivity to boarding a bus to Onitsha.
They complained to the man that they were traveling to the East and were not even familiar with Festac, which they only branched for making an ATM withdrawal. The Aboki could not listen but demanded a payment from them.
The squable ensued to the extent of attracting the attention of police that control traffic at Alakija bus stop. They radioed their colleagues patrol vehicle, which came and became biased after hearing an Hausa language from the Okada operator. They whisked the poor boys away from the scene after severe hitting with their guns.
On getting to the station, they lied them down under the sun from morning till night. The poor boys demanded for drinking water but they turned it to laughing stock.
The beating of the boys countinued at night to the extent they were handcuffed, hung with their heads upside down. The scenario deteriorated to the extent that Okechukwu Albert gave up at night. While Alex Ejimofor was wounded to the extent that he was comatosed .
In order to cover up, the police hastily charged Alex to court with the allegations that they attempted to steal a Bajaj motorcycle and were mobbed. According to the charge, the police rescued them and on their way to the station, Okechukwu gave up.
We have succeeded in bringing Alex out of kirikiri prison but Okechukwu is in the mortuary. We the Aguleri youth living in Lagos and in diaspora have resolved to employ all the legal means to obtain justice Maka na Ozu odogwu ana atoro na mba. An injustice to one should also mean injustice to all. The move has started and we are believing in God of blessed Tansi of Aguleri, that the culprits must be brought to book.
Ejiblinks Ofoegbu.
