The preliminary reports of the pathologists who examined the exhumed
remains of the University of Benin student, Ibrahim Momodu, showed that
he was shot from the back with three bullets, which torn his heart,
before exiting through the upper part of his chest.
The reports, according to the Counsel to Momodu’s family, Barr.
Jefferson Uwoghiren, showed that the police lied when they claimed that
the deceased was caught with a Russian made cut to size gun.
Uwoghiren, who rejected the irregular procedure of the police,
demanded that the DPO of Ogida Police station, Mrs. Carol Afegbai and
other members of her patrol team be immediately charged for murder and
conspiracy to murder an innocent person.
He said, “We the solicitors to the family of Ibrahim Momodu, the
student killed by the DPO of Ogida police station, Benin note with
concern and dismay attempts by the police authority in Edo State to
obfuscate the legal process of bringing the accused DPO, Mrs. Afegbai
and members of her patrol team to trial, by delivering report of the
police investigation on the murder of Ibrahim Momodu to the Director of
Public Prosecution without first charging the accused police officers to
court.
“The family also reject attempt by the police authority to exonerate
the DPO because of her high rank and gender but is happy to sacrifice
her orderly, even when the DPO had severally claimed to have personally
pulled the trigger, an action that is consistent with her known sadistic
conducts in the Ogida area of Benin City.”
