The DPO of Ogida Police Station, Carol Afegbai, the same DPO who murdered Ibrahim Momodu was at a bar in the the resident drinking beer when she saw the boy passing on a boarding bike and shot him; after which she went to her patrol car and took the same type of gun she planted on Ibrahim Momodu and planted it on the victim, then left the young man to bleed to death.
This extrajudicial killing is now common in Nigeria and it is very heartbreaking to know that among the crowd, nobody was willing to help a dying man even if he was an armed robber. Human value now means nothing in Nigeria because people find pleasure in killing and seeing humans bleed to death. Everyone has become desensitized to the value of human life.
The police appears to be poorly trained and CSP Carol Afegbai looks like she is into extrajudicial killing. The callousness of those charged with upholding the law and the glee of the onlookers seeing the distress of a dying man is really alarming. The people are now devoid of human emotions forgetting that it could be anyone and even the innocent.
Nigeria Government should wake up and do something about this extrajudicial killing and teach our police on how to adhere strictly to due process. I'm sure they all watched the killing of the soldier in London. They should ask themselves why those guys who killed the soldier were not shot to death.
However, this should serve as a deterrent to other want-to-be-criminals to desist from it. I'm not in support of armed robbery neither am i in support of extrajudicial killing. Everyone deserve a chance to be given a fair hearing.
This whole incident is making me believe the police are not our friends after-all.
