Protest in Benin after police kill and bury UNIBEN student

Students of the University of Benin yesterday Wednesday June 5th marched round the streets of Benin, protesting the death of one of their own, a final student named Ibrahim Momodu, who was allegedly killed and hurriedly buried by men of the Ogida police station, in Benin.

According to reports, Ibrahim Momodu (pictured above) was allegedly killed on May 27th by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ogida station, Carol Afebgai (pictured above, right).

According to the deceased elder sister, Rebecca Egbe, Ibrahim was shot dead and buried the next day without the family even knowing he was dead.

The Edo State Police Public Relations Officer, Moses Eguavoen later told newsmen that Momodu was an armed robber, saying that a gun, bullets, two mobile phones and a bag was found on him. The family deny this. They say Momodu was not an armed robber and are asking for justice for their son.

Governor Adams Oshiomhole has promised to set up an enquiry into the incident. Watch a Channels TV report on the controversial killing after the cut...

Let a thorough investigation be done, after the inquest the truth will be out, as for now I don't wanna pick sides due to sentiments on which sides story is verisimilar. RIP to him.

The culprits should be charged to court jooor, police or not. Why the hurried burial when even the dead bodies of robbers gunned down when engaging in gun battle with the police are paraded. Something is just not right.

Even if this guy was an armed robber it's not up to the police to bury him. Every arrested person is only an accused person until proven guilty. Since when has police become family members charged with the responsibility of burying unrelated persons when their corpse isn't causing nuisance on the street? I suspect the police on this one unfortunately the police lack integrity considering their track record. I bet if the guy was an armed robber his corpse wld have been ridiculed as well. It is well with our country ooo. Even the terrorists that matcheted the soldier in England wasn't killed and hurriedly buried in the face of concrete evidence against them.

Na wah ooooo..What happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? even if they found him with Bazooka and Atomic bomb? does it justify the shedding of blood? what have they done to kabiru Sokoto and all the BH's dt are in custody? Police Brutality needs 2 stop in this country!!!

i dont believe the Nigerian police
He was definitely Set-up
when i came to visit Nigeria and i was driving with a friend to a place called Opebi, the cops actually stopped us and they were demanding for cash
and i refused and they started saying they can fraud us up with drugs and guns
then they asked me for papers and i showed them my foreign drivers license and they told me it can be used, its not valid in This country (Nigeria). I was shocked and surprised because we still had to bribe them at the ending.

The Police would have first allowed the Law court to judge and pass their ruling rather taking laws into their hands.

Now that the guy is dead, there will be no true story to this allegation put up by the Police against the deceased.

Since no one heard his own side of the saga to confirm truth, we will all assume that the police have said it all,

But this country na wah oh sha…

Police killed/buried without hearing from the law court and the deceased…………

Gawwd! the first time that I'll hear of a policewoman shooting someone to death.
The woman must be a serious Akata woman.
Btw I pray that the truth be revealed.

Hon'ble Perry said...

This is complete nonsense. Whether police or not, the unlawful taking of another man's life is murder and the perpetrator should be brought to book in order for the idiot to face the full wrath of the law if there is one in Nigeria.

FINDING A GUN AND BULLET ISNT SUFFICIENT REASON TO KILL HIM, AND WHY DID THEY BURY HIM THE DAY AFTER WITHOUT LOOKING FOR HIS FAMILY IF THERE WAS NOTHING TO HIDE...?

Nigeria has no police, they are a bunch of fools and thieves that God will punish. All that have hand in this boy's death, will die miserable death. Any one they kill is an armed robber. Is there any armed like the police. IDIOTS.

don't we have armed robbers in detention awaiting trial? why did the dpo have to kill the student? when did she become judge,jury and executioner? she has a lot of questions to answer..... useless police officers!!!

We live in a cruel world.Under no circumstance should police take law into their hands when there are institutions that are backed by law to enact laws and adequately pass judgement.I guess it is jungle justice.The case should be properly reviewed and perpetrators brought to book.Condolence to the bereaved family.

A lot of police officers are nothing but monsters in black uniforms....left for me that joke called the Nigerian police should be scrapped because they keep advertising their nuisance value on a day basis as they contribute heavily to the disorderliness, irritation and underdevelopment of our society.

Anonymous said...

Our government needs to put an end to extra judicial killings!!! Haba! Instead of the police to protect the lives of citizens, they molest, harass and kill. The govt should set up an independent commission to investigate such crimes and bring those caught to justice. By the time a 100 of them are executed it will serve as a wake up call that just because you have a gun does not give you the right to take away a life or be trigger happy! Nonsense

ary said...

Nigerian Police; is there a more corrupt institution in the world? Neglected by the government in the onset, they turn around and treat the people they ought to guard like sh*t!!! Protect and serve my foot!!! It's more like shoot on sight! Our armed forces do not have courtesy at all!!! No regards for human life, no regard for rule of law. Do you know how many innocent people who have been killed and tagged 'armed robbers' because there are no witnesses to state other wise?!! It's a hellish situation we are in. Boko haram behind us and the so called 'armed forces' in front of us, who do we run to, to protect us? I guess no one!!

Anonymous said...

I think Nigerian Police are doing more harm than good,infact d protection they offer is less compare to many inhumane killing dey engage in. I think state of emergency shud be declared in d Nigerian Police Force(NPC).Say no 2 killing of innocent student(s) by Police

I will never buy this bull crap the police is saying. What nonsense??? I'm so angry right now cos these evil creatures are doing more harm than good in Nigeria. self defence my foot. God will punish the person who killed this guy and even had the mind to bury him without his family's consent. Jeeez!!!

so you found gun ,bullet and whatever.. you killed him ehn then why did you bury him?or you found out you went wrong.... you won't go unpunished Madam dpo..

Dumb arse nigeria police because you found gun and bullet on him doesn't give you the right to take his life. If he is an armed robber,its left to the court to decide his fate. Moreover,i f I live in Nigeria I will own a gun to protect my self.

The DPOs are always killing innocent people because nobody touches or sack them. You can imagine the enfrontry of burying a corpse even if he was actually an armed robber. Na wa.

Unknown said...

That's extra judicial killing... The DPO and other police officers involved should be brought to book, they are only trying to cover their tracks by black listing d young man as a robber. But am not sure if JUSTICE has returned to the country from vacation.

otunba cymbal said...

please lets not fool ourselves, this shedevil of a DPO will get away with what she did, infact i'm sure the IG will promote her soon. This is Nigeria, where u can even kill someone in the IG's office and get away with it. Even if he was an armed robber, they had no right to kill him, then he was hurriedly buried so that there will be no evidence to show what they really did to him. More grease to your elbow madam DPO, continue your killings umtil your own day comes eventually. You are well know in benin for your atrocities and they way you get away with them. As for mr commissioner if you feel this is right then continue to protect her, maybe she even has something on you and thats why you choose to defend her. I'm just sick of this country. God protect our children from demons like these.
