 We need Justice!

Mr. Sunday Ndubuisi Okoli

 The late Okoli, who hailed from Ozara village, Isuofia in Aguata Local Government area of Anambra State, was killed allegedly as a result of his failure to provide the N5000 bribe demanded by the four-man police patrol team.

In the past month, the
Isuofia community in Lagos has been thrown into mourning. On Friday June 29, a member of the community, Mr. Sunday Ndubuisi Okoli, a motorcycle and spare parts dealer, was brutally killed in Iba area of the metropolis allegedly by a four-man patrol team attached to Ishashi Police Station. 
The police have, however, vowed to get to the root of the matter and ensure that justice is done. A statement by the spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, Mrs. Ngozi Braide, initially said Okoli was arrested alongside some miscreants at a drug joint. But the four members of the patrol team have since been arrested and are now being detained at the State Criminal Investigations Department (SCID), Panti, Lagos.

The late Okoli, who hailed from Ozara village, Isuofia in Aguata Local Government area of Anambra State, was killed allegedly as a result of his failure to provide the N5000 bribe demanded by the four-man police patrol team. The spare parts dealer had, according to reports, told the team that he couldn’t part with more than N1 000, saying that was all he had on him. An eyewitness said Okoli was pushed down from the moving patrol van at Ishashi Bus stop at 7.45pm on the fateful day. He fell and hit his head on the pavement.

The eyewitness, who pleaded that his name be spared, said those around were initially afraid to assist the man who, he noted, was bleeding profusely. “Then the phone started ringing, and I summoned courage and picked it from his pocket. Fortunately, the caller introduced herself as Okoli’s wife. So I told her what happened and then asked her to come to the last bus/stop, that her husband was lying on the road.”

The deceased’s wife corroborated the story. Mrs. Oge Chukwu Okoli, who said she was yet to recover from the shock, stated that her late husband was a genuine motorcycle and spare parts dealer who never got involved in any shady deal or associated with miscreants as alleged by the police.
