In March 2015, Elewana, described as a dangerous man chased the late Douglas upon sighting him from a distance of about a kilometer to the gate of the Cross River Basin Development Authority where he shot him on the leg and arm.
After he died, Elewana of River Basin Authority, 8 Miles Calabar, took the corpse to the Federal Housing Police Station where he allegedly connived with the DPO to bury the deceased at the Goldie cemetery.
The matter which was heard at Court 8 presided over by Justice Ukpa Ebitham saw prosecution counsel Amaja Eneji tender evidence to the Court which showed that the license of the double barreled gun used in shooting the deceased expired in 2013, about 2 years before the incident.
Also tendered in evidence were two expended cartridges, one machete, a double barreled gun and five pellets recovered from the body of the deceased following an autopsy carried out after exhumation of the corpse reports.
Amaja who argued that no civilian had the right to take the life of another prayed the Court to critically assess the matter with a view to delivering judgement.
However, Defense Counsel, Clement Ukaegbu, told the Court that the wife of the accused had filed for an out of court settlement. The matter is adjourned till February 27 with presiding Judge Ebitham saying the matter will not be allowed to proceed beyond 2 weeks as it was a case of alleged murder.

out of court settlement for murder? na wao
This story is incomplete, to my understanding the alleged assailant is not a civilian. Which part of the harm forces does he belong to.?
And what about if the young man is dating his daughter does that gave him the right to kill him.What none sense.let's even see the girl sef.
God of mercy! What a wicked soul! You don spoil val for person!
Nigerian ladies, this tantalizing soup will help you construct a path to the heart of your man! Trust me!
Oh God have mercy on your children, those people are just after oil and forgot to train there children, that's why I called them families of chimpanzees and bokoharam.

I still remember this story,linder u r very good
nd dats hw dis guy lost his life...Rip
Don't talk without reason, what's the boy's offense that's worth his death penalty? God forgive you and him
Mehn too bad..
Nawa o, am people are so heartless.
I am confused. Why is a murder case since 2015 getting to court now. Why is only the murderer on trial? What about the police DPO that connived with the murderer to bury the body not on trial? He has a case to answer. Why is the defense lawyer using the guise of out of court settlement to get an adjourned? Why didn't the persecution object? Why the the trial judge agree to adjourn the case? Can a murder case be settled out of court? Please the case should not be shoddy. A young man died in agony. A shot on the arm and leg should not have killed him immediately. The woman that is proposing an out of court settlement who she be willing if it was her child?
I need a gun to kill DAT woman's daughter too we all d d out of court settlement and knw how it feels jezzzz so annoying
Sick nigga
Freeborn you are INSANE.
If the father of Douglas agrees to out of court settlement then, I'll call him ODE. This is pure brutality, he should press for the harshest sentence or the imi nkita murderer should bring his own child to replace Douglas.
