Got a mail from Achara Layout Neighbourhood Association in Enugu state, telling a story of how one of their own was allegedly murdered by the Nigerian police on May 1st. See their mail below...

On the 1st May 2014, Chinedu Ejikere “Edu or Edu Wondon”, (pictured above) the first son and the breadwinner of his poor family was brutally murdered by the Nigerian Police on Obioma Street, Achara Layout, Enugu after he had just gone over to see a friend from the close by Umunogo/ Obianodo Street where his mum owns a small grocery kiosk. Shot at close range in his chest region in what was apparently an illegal arrest went wrong. Continue..



Mr George Eluka of 16 Amawbia Street, Uwani, Enugu friends with Edu Ejikere initiated the supposed arrest of Edu as they had done a business dealing and Edu was owing him just over 100,000 naira so he went to the police and ordered for Edu’s arrest.


While Edu was at Obioma Street, Achara Layout, having gone to see a friend, policemen in plain clothes then attacked him. They handcuffed him and started beating him up, and in trying to put him in the car, one of the policemen tried to poke him with a loaded gun and it fired. What then transpired after he was shot was an act of inhumanity. Having fired a gunshot, the police drew attention to what was happening as onlookers started running because they thought they were armed robbers.


The police left Edu on the road for dead and drove off, realizing he still had their handcuffs, which is a significant piece of evidence, reversed back to remove the cuffs on him and take their handcuffs thereby leaving no evidence. On arriving at the scene a crowd had gathered trying to help the young man who everyone in the area knew as a hardworking, jovial individual so the police started shooting into the air to disperse people and of course had everyone running for their lives again. While in the process of trying to remove the cuffs on him, the people started shouting trying to alert everyone to block the road with anything so they won’t be able to leave. And they panicked and left without totally removing the handcuffs.


The members of the public then hurriedly took Edu to Eastern Medical Centre, Enugu where the doctors tried to save his life but failed.

The serial number on the handcuffs # 10338. A pic of Edu below...


*The update we are getting is that the squad that went to make the arrest are from SARS (Special anti-robbery squad) Enugu division and are aware of what happened but are still currently denying knowledge of the identities of the officers who went to make the arrest. Mr George Eluka who initiated the arrest is still currently on the run and hasn't been apprehended.

I have also attached a picture of the deceased Chinedu Ejikere before he was killed so people can see how lively the young man was. 
Many thanks,
Achara Layout Neighbourhood Association.
