Extra-judicial Killings In Abuja, Benin: ASP Kills Senator’s Son by Sveen: 9:21am On Sep 20, 2015
The Force Criminal Investigations Department (FCID) of the Nigerian Police force has arrested and detained an Assistant Superintendent of Police, ASP, and six other Police officers over allegations of extra-judicial killings in separate incidents that
occurred in Abuja and Benin, the Edo State capital.

The first case resulting in the arrest of the ASP(Mohammed Yusuf) and two officers (Corporal Agada Lawrence and Corporal Agada Kenneth involved the extra judicial killing of the son of the
former Chairman, Senate Committee on Defence,
Senator Fidelis Okoro, in Abuja last year. According to Police sources, Mr. John Chukwuemeka Okoro (son of Senator Okoro) and a friend of his (Sunday Markus alias Sunday Black) were at the Durumi district of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja, on the 11th of August 2014, when a Police Patrol team received a distress call from Mabuchi District that that some suspected robbers snatched a Toyota car from the owner.

The Police from FCT SARS consequently deployed and carried out a trail of the alleged robbers from Mabuchi to Durumi. In the process of trailing the car, the deceased, John Chukwuemeka Okoro, was arrested, while Sunday Markus escaped. The leader
of the Police team then shot John Okoro firstly on the leg and secondly in the chest even though he was harmless, resulting in Okoro’s death.

Following a petition to the IGP by Senator Okoro alleging extra-judicial killing, Force CID investigated the matter, invited Sunday Markus for interview and his statement. The owner of the alleged stolen car also made a statement.

Though the Police officers claimed there was a shootout and in the cause of exchange of fire, Okoro was shot and killed, investigation however indicted the Assistant Superintendent of Police and
his 2 officers of extra-judicial killing.

They are currently in detention and police sources told Sunday Vanguard that they are awaiting ‘Internal Disciplinary Action’ after which they will be charged to court.
