A 25 year old Geology and Mining undergraduate of Delta State University Ifechukwude Nwainokpor and his friend Kazeem were brutally killed on Sunday 21st July 2013 in Ajara area of Badagry, Lagos for allegedly being in the area to rob, reports Punch Nigeria.
Punch reports that Ifechukwude pleaded to the angry mob to plead his case, that he lived in the area but they
refused to listen.

Read the report by Punch Newspaper; Policemen attached to the Badagry Police Division, Lagos State, and some hoodlums have been accused of killing a 25-year-old undergraduate of Delta State University,
Ifechukwude Nwainokpor, and his friend, identified simply as Kazeem.
An eight-minute video clip of the gruesome killing, which
was made available to PUNCH Metro, showed the two
victims handcuffed together. They were covered in their
own blood and beaten to death with sticks. Tyres were
also put round their necks.
An irate mob could be seen in the video, shouting, “die,
die, burn them, burn them.”
At some points in the video, a policeman was seen
interviewing the boys. He asked who sent them (victims)
to rob the area, an accusation they denied. One of the
hoodlums, holding a sharp object attempted to cut off the private part of one of the victims.
Nwainokpor could be seen pleading with the hoodlums
and policemen to spare his life, saying he could identify
himself if given a chance. His plea, however, fell on deaf
ears.
Our correspondent, who visited the family of Nwainokpor
on Tuesday, learnt that the lynching took place around
3pm on July 21, 2013 in Ajara area of Badagry, a
community not far from Nwainokpor’s family home.
His father, Samuel, told PUNCH Metro that his son was
arrested while passing through a street in the area but a
misunderstanding later ensued and the hoodlums pounced on him and Kazeem.
He added that Nwainokpor, who was nicknamed Ify, was a final year student of Geology and Mining.
He said, “On that particular day, I was in Ghana when I
received a telephone call that I should come immediately.
My wife was in Delta State taking care of her mother.
“When I arrived two days later, my relatives and the
caretaker of my house told me that my son was killed in
the Ajara area along with his friend. I was devastated.
“I got my son a temporary job with a Customs licensed
agent since their lecturers were on strike. He worked
everyday except on Sundays when he visited his friends.
On that day, he went to see Kazeem and they were
strolling around Ajara.”
Samuel said because there had been a robbery in Ajara
four days earlier, some of the residents were on the
lookout for strange faces.
He added that when the youth saw two unknown young
men, they accosted them and an argument ensued.
He said the youth called the head of the vigilante group in the area, one Asiribo.
He said, “Asiribo came to the scene with a locally-made
pistol and handcuffs. He handcuffed my son and his friend before asking them questions.
“Later, it was decided that the boys be taken to the Baale, Agano Oniyon of Agamade Ajara. But as they were going, Asiribo, while trying to return his gun into its pouch, mistakenly shot himself in the stomach and died.”
Samuel said Asiribo’s death infuriated the youth, who
blamed the boys for his death.
“The mob picked up sticks and beat them to death.
Policemen were there,” he said.
Holding back tears, the retired immigration officer added
that the police treated the matter as a robbery case.
Beating his chest, Samuel said there was no way his son
would have been involved in armed robbery.
He said, “I have been living in Badagry since 1982. I have only two children and Ifechukwude is the first. Ironically,
he was born in that same area where he was killed.
“I have lived in this area without any trouble and the
residents can tell you that my sons are good boys.”
Nwainokpor’s boss, Aloysius Onyenibedi, described him as an honest and hardworking person.
“I trusted him to the extent that I used to keep a lot of
money with him. He was good to my children and was
honest,” he said.
The Nwainokpor family berated the Divisional Police
Officer, Badagry Police Station, Dankoli Mohammed, for
the manner he treated the case.
Samuel said when he approached the DPO, he was told
that his son was killed at midnight for armed robbery.
He said, “When the policemen came to take the corpses,
guns were planted on them. Policemen at the station told the DPO that they were robbers. Their corpses were taken along with that Asiribo to Badagry General Hospital’s mortuary.
“The following morning, the DPO released Asiribo’s corpse for burial without investigation. My relatives went to the station and after showing the DPO the video, the matter was transferred to the Area K Command.
“At Present, Asiribo’s son has fled, while the DPO has
been unable to identify the policemen who were present
at the scene when my son and his friend were killed.”
PUNCH Metro however learnt that through the video,
some people had arrested one of the perpetrators. The
suspect had been transferred to the State Criminal
Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba.
The spokesperson for the state police command, Ngozi
Braide, said, “The incident is quite pathetic. Even if they
were armed robbers, no one has the right to take the life
of another. Why then do we have the police and the
judiciary? The Nigerian police as well as the law condemnmob action and jungle justice. The commissioner of policehas set up a high- powered investigation body to
investigate the matter.”
