Photos of 4 children left behind by woman allegedly killed by bribe taking police officer in Lagos

Pictured above are the four children(12, 9,7 and 11 months old) of Mrs Idongesit Ekpo, the wife of a tricycle rider who was allegedly shot dead by a trigger happy police officer Aremu Musesiu while he attempted to extort bribe from the tricycle rider, Godwin Ekpo at the Obalagbe bus stop in Isheri Osun in Lagos state last week. More photos after the cut...



Godwin was returning home from church with his wife, their 11 month old baby Elijah and their other three children when they were flagged down by a group of police men attached to the Isheri Ogun Police Division in Lagos.

Narrating what happened, the deceased woman's 9 year old daughter said
"When we were coming back from church, as we were going police stopped our daddy. Our daddy stopped and parked his Marwa(tricyle) in one place. As my daddy came outside to discuss with the police, my mummy also came out to discuss with the police. After they finished discussing, they tried entering the motor. My daddy first entered the Marwa. As my mummy now want to enter the marwa. the police shot my mummy in her head. The bullet now entered her head and came out and affect my daddy. They carried my daddy to general hospital. After blood now start rushing from my mummy's head. My mummy fell on the floor with the baby. One man now came and carried the baby from my mummy"she said
Meanwhile the late woman's family are demanding for justice. Godwin Ekpo, husband of the deceased pictured with the bandage wrapped around his face.

  7. But why do the poor have children like this. We need total reorientation. This is not right. The poor can't keep giving birth like this and expect to be fed by the rich who have two children. Am sorry for the outburst.


    Rip to the dead. Justice and compensation awaits the man.

    1. Had they knocked on your door to ask you for financial support? Mind your business please.

      Delete
    2. Anon 11:47, did you at any point in the article read that the man asked for financial help from anyone ? Why are you so bitter that the man has children ? Who are you to say what is right and what is not right concerning a man that Comfortably takes care of his family? You are the one that need total reorientation

  17. May God punish the police man and anyone who wants to help him get away with this. May his conscience hunt him forever. May the ground turn into iron when he wants to farm. May the skies become brass when he needs rainfall.

    1. This is not the kind of prayer a good citizen should pray. The fact that there are some bad people in the police does not mean they all bad. They need training and good pay. Several of them are drug addicts and should be rehabilitated or discharged.

  26. Together let all civilians fight for our right, and let that police pay dearly.

  27. The national priority in fighting evil and corruption should be to expand (1) Prisons (2) Police Colleges
    Without a properly trained police force it is impossible to fight crime and corruption.

  34. Maybe our cops at checkpoints should be given rubber bullets to avert merciless killings.

    This cop deserves quick trial and summary execution is his lot as the poor woman was not even the Marwa driver. All the kids of the woman deserve scholarship.
