Justice has finally come the way of the family of
slain Emmanuel Victor (pictured above), a 20 year old young man who was killed
in front of his mother by a trigger-happy Policeman, Mathew Egheghe, two
years ago in Yenogoa, Bayelsa state.
Victor was shot dead after he confronted a group of policemen who were trying to extort money from motorists as he was coming back from church. Angered by his effrontery to question their action, Policeman Egheghe moved close to Victor and shot him at close range.
Victor was shot dead after he confronted a group of policemen who were trying to extort money from motorists as he was coming back from church. Angered by his effrontery to question their action, Policeman Egheghe moved close to Victor and shot him at close range.
Narrating what happened, Victor's mother Grace, who witnessed the incident said:
"They shot my son brutally. As he fell while they were shooting him, the tallest of them still continued shooting him on the ground". She said she was harassed and stopped from going close to her dying son even as he lay gasping for life in the pool of his own blood.Delivering his judgement on the case, Justice Lucky Boufili said that such a cruel act was only punishable by the maximum penalty which is death. He sentenced Mathew Egheghe to death by Hanging. The police has since dismissed Mathew Egheghe and his two accomplices from the force.

Police man, ur name na sorry.......
Now dis is what I call justice....Good for him
I just pray that God will give the family of the boy the heart to endure their loss....
Nigeria is finished #crying. After all the religion everywhere people are still so hardened and wicked,may his soul rest in peace. Some children are about to be fatherless which makes me sad also.
dat is gud
One. Good judgement
Am sure its not his first time. God have mercy on his soul. Our police and army need serious pyschological evaluation before going into the field. Even ordinary civilians with police or army broda will threaten to shoot u on slightest provacation. Smh 4 naija. Rip to the deceased.
Good 4 him
What happened to his accomplice?They need to get their own share of it.
Serves him right.
Justice is served!!!...please ooo...is it just me or has anyone noticed that the police force are the ones who break almost all the laws we have ...especially on the road??!!!
Lawless policemen...may d soul of boy. Rest well
I have been on this case right from the minute the heinous crime was committed and am glad The Blood of Emmanuel had his neck.
This will serve as a deterrent to other blood hungry police officers.
It seems Alloy will beat Bonario as Linda's favourite this year,hehehe.
Serves him right.
Victory for victor.
God Bless you Linda for following Up on this , Thank you for bringing this to our notice
No One wants anyone to die whether as a plan or recourse but it does feel good that there is some sense of Justice in this Jungle called Nigeria !
very good judgement "an eye for an eye"
Justice at last.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
Serves him right.
Thank God for this Judgement,alot of Impunity and wickedness with these trigger-happy policemen,Everyday it's one story or the other
Oh! God this is quite painful..those pictures will always remain in this woman's head.Mr Matthew and friends should rot in hell.
Wat a world!!!
Good 4 d police.May God save us all
That's a big lesson for odas
Wat a world!!!
Good judgment
Who's a wicked man?
Is that person that knows that Jesus died for him, and still never give his heart to Christ.
Following Christ means to be ready to follow his ways and what he laid down before he departed.
Because he talked whilst you guys were trying to collect bribe, then the next action was to fire-him-up?
That wasn't the right thing Oga Ade
The policeman deserves not death-sentenced but life imprisonment..
Chikena
Am Happy To hear that, very Good, but I Pray they implement the judgement as soon as possible.
This story heavy for mouth. Our police are made up of hoodlums . Such a pathetic story. May his soul rest in peace . Amen
This is good. Justice has been done in this very matter.
Justice has bn served!!! Barbillicious J says so*
Our police needs to b reoriented!!!! bunch of tou*s !!!
So sad may his dear sou rest in peace!
Couple caught sleeping in the open after a wild night of sex romp!
U live by d sword,u die by d sword

Evil policemen..God will deal with dem 1 after the other this 2014.
I love this country.
Good for him, they behave as if they are God just bc of tЂε stupid guns they carry they kill innocent pple evryday
Its high time they started receiving dia jugdement too God don catch ds one others shd watch out.
I hope this serves as a warning to other trigger happy cops.Imagine killing such an innocent boy in his prime.The other two police officers should be tried for criminal negligence.
Tank God, Justice Must prevail !!
Shocking Confession of a sex addict....

Good for him cus his very wicked
Very good for him cus the policeman is wicked

When I saw the caption I wanted to feel pity for the death sentence, but after reading the story, I want him to die too, wicked bastard!!!!!! Good lucks government blurting out curruption.
Very good...nobody is above d law!!!!!!rot in Hellll
Very good...nobody is above d law!!!!!!rot in Hellll
RIP Emmanuel Victor
Some mait call dis bravery nd others cud say he was foolish to have acted d way he did.tho we want to change d system for berra,we shd do dat witout gettn killed.
This is wonderful news.
An eye for an eye!
That's the only way those bastards will learn.
Wow! That serves them right but it also teaches every one out there a lesson. Rome was not built in a day this means that one man alone cannot eradicate corruption.
According to the story, after the first man shot him, the other two idiots continued shooting. Why was only one policeman sentenced to death? Is the rope for hanging not long enough for the other two police goats?
When I saw the caption I wanted to feel pity for the death sentence, but after reading the story, I want him to die too, wicked bastard!!!!!! Good lucks government blurting out curruption.
People can be heartless........
Good for dem police.
SNOWYTE SAY S̶̲̥̅Æ ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡
Sabrina, ur not d only 1 o. I can't stand dem, wen dey stop me I just stare @ dem till dey tell me 2 go. I sooooo happy 2 hear dis GREAT NEWS.
Once again justice is acheived,
Cintinue to rest in peace Victor. I cried the day I first read about u. I urge the government to try and give this boy a posthumous award for his stand against corruption and bribery.
May God continue to rest ur soul.
Wonderful judgement. I wonder if our court system getting better or if they send the only good deeds they do to Linda. #justwondering#
Exactly what I though! What about the other trigger happy buffoons? Maybe they have better connection. Nigeria and their half-baked justice. #Hissed
Good, more examples should be made of law men who flaunt the law! This is even worse than jungle justice, believe it or not their are more people like this cop in the ranks of the police force. Good riddance.
What a man sow that he shall reap.
nw dis is wat i call justice
Even though this doesn't bring the poor boy back to Life, but@ least his mother will be consoled that her son got justice...God please strengthen his loved ones that he left behind...And to the bastard who killed him, anything less than a death sentence would've been sad#Go rot in hell where you truly belong.
PRETTY GIRL
When boko haram dey ground,na harmless civilian d idiot fit shoot...God catch am

Justice served....
The internet is a gift from God Pope says
Such good news. I'm so happy that justice's been served.
Let him go and explain to God Almighty what happened. Why he pulled the trigger...
Madam Linda didn't you hear about the killing of a Mr Donbraye by JTF in portharcourt on 11-12-13? Na wa for you o! Anyway I pray justice will be served in his case too.
A LESSON FOR TRIGGER HAPPY POLICE MEN TO LEARN FROM!
I REMEMBER THIS STORY BCOS I WAS IN BY WEN IT HAPPENED N HE ATTENDED MY CHURCH; CHRIST EMBASSY.
SPECIAL THANKS TO HONOURABLE WARMAN OGORIBA OF THE FED. HOUSE OF REPS FOR CHAMPIONING THE CAUSE OF THIS YOUNG MAN! GOD BLESS YOU SIR!!!
Thank God for this judgement.
Was having a good day until I saw this. The poor woman is stuck with the trauma of witnessing the death of her baby boy. What is going on In nigeria ? I'm scared to come home and more so , I'm scared for my family at home.
More to go in lagos!!! Self centered people...
More to go in lagos!!! Dirty asre people...
More to go in lagos!!! Self centered people...
This is what we see, when the NPF just hand people that are not qualified to be a police gun. It was a sad story, especially for Emmanuel's mum who witnessed the way the trigger happy police shot her son. I the story then followed it then. It serves the police man right because it was so cruel of him. At least if he was angry as a true officer for a small boy talking to him in the manner that he does not like, why not just slap the boy rather than shooting.
see the new Samsung Galaxy grand neo phone
Good. what about the other two policemen, they deserve to die like a rat. lets just hope the hangman do is job fast. cos the guy no deserve another 24hrs on earth. bastard.
God saves us from nigeria police. Tnk God justice has taken its course.
Sound good nxt time dey will tink b4 taking any action.may ur soul RIP
Eeeyaa! Man inhumanity to man!! The Bible clearly stated that the heart of man is desperately wicked. How those policemen have cut the life of that young man at his prime just because of the stupid money they collect as bribe!!! ( fighting back tears) may they be sent to the hottest part of hell !!!! Kudos to the judges for a job well done!!
Oh linda , I just hope the mum is not carrying the guilt around. The guilt that she should have stopped them from killing her son even tho there was nothing she could have done to stop it. God bless her heart.
Adieu Emmanuel as you journey to be with your maker, nwa oma!!
Finally!!! ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥♡thanks ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥
What a painful death"Joys nd tears of motherhood".
Power corrupts d wicked,may God forgive dat police man dat the devil used.
Dats why police are always given guns with empty bullets cos some Nig police can be so stupid esp when dey ar in dat uniform..I hope dey announce dis on th radio so they can hear it while drinking their SHEKPE
That's ow it shld be and we are still waiting justice for Aluu 4 too.
What gives him that right? What gives them that right to kill one so mercilessly? I am angry. Death is not enuf 4 wat he did. Only God will judge him. Only God will judge them all.
Remaining ALUU boys. Thank God 4 this one
dis will serve deterent 2 dos police men dat luv takin laws in 2 der hands by shotin indiscrinatly.. `
only God that can judge, death for death
I remember this story. I hope there are still executioners in the Civil Service to carry out the hanging. Abi d last of dem don retire?, like Delta State?
This should be a lesson to policemen....justice has been served...xoxo flynnrules
God forgive me o, but they need to show his face when it is being carried out before they go and take another innocent soul, cover his face and pass him up as the police officer while he's being executed. You can't put it past Naija police, they're very crooked and might try to help their colleague out by setting another innocent citizen up..... Just saying
I Remember reading this news back then to my mom and how she cried like it were her own child. Finally, he gets to Rest in peace
Ure not d only one o. They disgust me.
I swear i agree with u
Is it only hanging? Dey should cut his body to pieces while he is still,.lay some part beside the boy's grave,.mchewww
What a good news! Justice must prevail, whether or not the devil likes it.
Good verdict
Corrupt police men
Good verdict
An eye 4 an eye, dat is d way I want them 2 treat d rest like umbu or whatever they called him PH police commissioner dat has been disturbing rivers state people wit oppression.
You are very right.
Justice at last.
You are so right!! They need to show his face so as to not replace another for him
The nigerian police force is a big shame. I feel using of guns should be abolished and the only person that should have a gun is the senior officer in charge of the squad. Other can have rubber bullet guns, pepper spray and tasers, dogs and very big clubs. Instead just giving every tom dick and harry a gun. RIp to victor
Let's all stand as hero's. Most of us act like cowards ad it hurts
Tragic
Good for u,abeg mk dem kill am shaperly o.
@ anon9:34pm, u r so right. It is wah dey do. Do devils dey call policemen r devil's advocate. Ejo nbe lorn mehn...
I expected the same to Apo killers. I held judiciary
Pls. Keep it up
Alhamdulillah!!!
The policeman's hanging needs to be publicized to serve as a lesson to his fellow colleagues.
I'm a woman and sometimes, when I refuse to stop at an illegal checkpoint, they point a gun!
It's not that serious. In other countries, they dont draw weapons unless they're prepared to kill.
Stupid men with big egos and small brains.
Only in this country will you see a policeman smoking weed, and drinking paraga, and yet still be allowed to carry a weapon around.
May God be with the family of this boy.
U just called my Name,Walata for no Reason. Its meant to be Gosh.....Gosh dis policemen are Horrible.hopeless son of a bitch... An eye for an eye,a tooth for a tooth,life for life...shot satan wen u Reach,Mr matthew
OMG! I remember this story then, Chai! Thank God. Btw, so it's 2yrs already? Hw time flies. Continue 2 RIP victor. As 4 the d police men, well, let God jugde u all.
Wow, those mehn are soo cruel!
People should be ready to take matters up and not cowardly saying things like" Will court case bring back the boy?" At least this will serve as a deterrent to others. Good Judgement.
Where did that boy think he was challenging the NIGERIAN Police? As much as im happy justice is served i cant help but say he was stupid, he culda lived, Nigeria is not the kinda country 2 sacrifice urself for. Wisdom is profitable 2 direct oo
May soul rest in peace. amen. pls i want to ask this question if Matthew Egheghe was sentenced to death by hanging for killing Emmanuel Victor, wat will happen to Kabiru Sokoto who killed more ten pple on the eve. xmas in 2011? Poor policeman(Christian), Rich Kabiru Sokoto(Muslim) and Nigeria Judges (Hypocrates).
Justice well served
