The family of the Lagos-based building
contractor, Oyoma Edewor, who was shot dead by a police sergeant, Godwin
Otene, in the FESTAC area of the state on Saturday, has asked the
police to prosecute the killer cop.
The family said Otene should be charged with murder, adding that he killed the 33-year-old victim intentionally.
reported on Tuesday that Oyoma, whose
car broke down while returning to his house in FESTAC, had hired a
towing van to convey the vehicle home.
While on the way, three policemen at a
checkpoint around Third Gate Bus Stop, were said to have asked the
driver of the towing van to stop, but he reportedly ignored the order.
The police were said to have forced the driver to stop after giving him a chase.
Oyoma was reportedly asked to sit on the floor, remove his shirt, before he was shot dead by Otene.
The Police Public Relations Officer,
Lagos State Command, Ngozi Braide, in a statement, had said the police
had arrested the killer cop and investigation had begun.
But the victim’s family on Tuesday said the police might be buying time to make the incident fizzle out.
Oyoma’s sister, Kuvie Edewor, said the
deceased was supposed to be the best man in a family wedding slated for
June before he was murdered in cold blood.
