[PHOTO] See Butcher, 'Ibrahim Jafarau' crippled by Nigeria police bullets

Ibrahim Jafarau

For about three years, 24-year-old butcher, Ibrahim Jafarau, has been bedridden, no thanks to the bullets of a yet to be identified officer of the Benue State Police, who allegedly shot and injured his spinal cord  in the Wadata area of Makurdi, the state capital.

Ibrahim, who, since the incident happened, has been moved from one hospital to another by his guardians, in search of medical help, has been surviving through the mercy and of relatives who are now crying out for justice after what appeared to be an indifference of the police to his predicament.

According to Ibrahim Jafarau, “Since then I’ve been here. The police have refused to have a hand in my treatment thereby leaving me to my fate.

“The attitude of the police forced my family to seek justice for me at the Federal High Court. At the end of the day, the court delivered a N15.5million judgement against the police in my favour.

“Surprisingly, till dated, the....
police have not appealed the judgement and have also not shown any form of concern or care to my situation.

“Since the incident, I have been crippled as a result of the injury. My people have continued to carry the burden of my incapacitation. At the moment, we are owing the BSUTH over N500, 000 because my people have overstretched themselves in order to give me good medical attention.

“I am pained because I was shot by the police and they have treated me like an animal and perhaps believe that they are above the law.

However Ibrahim Jafarau's family said they had spent over N1.3million on Ibrahim’s treatment without improvement.
