Following public outcry and demand by family members of Ibrahim Momoh, the final year Laboratory Science student of University of Benin, UNIBEN, who was killed less than two weeks ago, the Edo State Police Command has exhumed his body for post-mortem.
Approval for the exhumation was issued to Dr. Wilson Akhiwu, a Deputy Commissioner of Police, of the Police Clinic, Benin, under Section 13 of the Coroner Ordinance Act by the Egor Chief Magistrate Court.
Edo State Police Pathologist, Dr. Wilson Akhiwu led the team that exhumed the already decomposing body. The corpse was later taken to the Stella Obasanjo Hospital where it was deposited.
While the Momodu family alleged foul-play in the murder of their son, the Police in its official statement however said he was killed in self defence while attempting to bring out Russian-made cut-to-size gun.
Ibrahim who was killed on 27 May by the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Ogida Police Division, Mrs. Carol Afegbai, who has since been suspended to give way to thorough investigation, was buried by the police at the 3rd cemetery, in Benin.
... I think justice should take its right position in this case.Don't you think so?
