- Meet Mother Of Man Allegedly Killed And Quickly Buried By Police DPO, Read What She Said
- Ekohotblog, October 19, 2020….
In an interview with Vanguard which has resurfaced on the internet, the mother of a 500 level student who was killed and buried by a DPO speaks up on her sons death.
Ekohotblog reported that CSP Carol Afegbai (Retired) mother to Nigerian actress, Lilian Afegbai was called out on social media based over the alleged murder of a 500L student of the University of Benin, Momodu Ibrahim.
The incident in question took place while Carol was still the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of Ogida Police Station.
In an Interview in 2013, Ibrahim Momodu’s mother, identified as Mrs Osas Momodu cried for justice during the said interview.
Speaking during the interview, Mrs Osas Momodu said, “ My son had not been passing the night outside. So when I waited and he did not come back on Monday night, on Tuesday, I left for work. I came back and discovered that the food I kept for him was still there.
So I started calling his line but he was not picking. On Wednesday, I went to lodge a complaint that my son did not come home, so they referred me to Ogida Police Station. When I got there, the DPO was not there, so I came home.
It was my senior brother who called me from Port Harcourt that I should not bother as they said my son had been killed. I said what! I now went back to the Ogida Police Station, but they referred me to the state Police Command.
I met one plain clothes police officer at the state command who said, ‘ oh madam, you are here for this shameful act?’ I asked what was the meaning of that? He said, ‘ Was it not that boy that was killed around the bus park at Ogida who was terrorizing the place?’ I told him immediately that my son was not a bus driver but a student of UNIBEN.
He told me my son was killed at the scene of the incident. I said my son was never an armed robber. He said my son was involved in robbery and they opened fire on him.
They gave me two versions of the story, that he was caught in a robbery scene, caught with a bag he snatched from someone. That some money was recovered from him. I told the police that I had heard two versions of one story.
I said where was the body deposited? He said the body had been buried. I shouted. I said God will avenge for me, I left there in tears. My son was even on industrial attachment in a pharmaceutical company.“
Mrs Osas added, “He was my first son and only son out of five children. Police is claiming that they saw a gun with him, but that is a big lie.
The Deputy Commissioner of Police who visited us said the DPO said she shot him on the leg, so they want to exhume the body to know whether what the DPO said is true or not.”
This incident is being raised again as part of the ongoing #Endsars protest and protest against police brutality in Nigeria.
