A widow, Mrs. Dorcas Nwakor, has petitioned the acting Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, over the alleged killing of her son, Chibueze Nwakor, by police officers attached to the Police Area Command, Onitsha, Anambra State.
In the petition made available to newsmen in Onitsha, yesterday, she lamented that her only son and father of three was allegedly shot dead around his residence, without any provocation, by three policemen, led by one Jude Utazi, on October 13, 2023, while on his way to his place of business.
“After shooting him, the policemen jumped into their ash coloured commuter Hiace shuttle bus and zoomed off. He was rushed to the hospital by his neighbours. But because of the severity of the bullet wounds, he died before receiving medical attention, leaving behind his wife and three children. His corpse has been deposited at the mortuary.
Briefing newsmen in his office yesterday, counsel to the family, Anayo Emejue, said, “We were told that the three policemen involved in the killing have been detained at the Police headquarters in Awka. But when we got to Awka, we saw them moving freely on the streets. Every effort to get the reaction of the Investigating Police Officer, Azuka Moses, proved abortive as calls and messages to her telephone line were not responded to.
