The story behind the extra judicial killing that took place yesterday in Delta State. Ogidi Mena 28 years old, was Extra-judicially murdered by ASP Ogbegbe in Delta State
The victim Mena went to the Effurun main park at Sapele Road to take delivery of a waybill. When he eventually got there, they told him to add money because the pack was a bit heavy. They curiously asked him what was in the waybill, but he told them someone sent him, and they asked him to open it.
When they finally compelled him to open it, they saw a Beretta pistol with 4 live ammunitions. They quickly held him down, but he told them he was sent by his friend to help him pick up the waybill.
He cried for mercy that he was ready to take them to the particular guy that sent him. The leadership of the motor park tied his legs and hands backward, blocked the gate of the park to prevent a possible attack from Mena's gang and then called ACP Aliyu Shaba to take over the matter, investigate, and unravel the men behind the gun running business.
The Uvwie Area Commander then mandated their patrol team headed by ASP Nuhu Usman, aka Ogbegbe, to go and bring the suspect to the station. Ogbegbe and his team headed straight to the park in order to bring the said suspect, Mena.
On getting there, the moment Ogbegbe saw the pistol, he got angry and was "jolificating" in the euphoria of the crowd hailing him. He cocked his gun and fired Mena's hand. His team assisted and carried Mena into the vehicle alive.
At this point, Mena was still alive agonising in the pain of Ogbegbe's trigger-happy bullet. They eventually got to the Ekpan station and instead of Ogbegbe Usman to report to the Area Commander Aliyu Shaba, who sent him to bring the boy, just at the car park, they brought Mena out of their patrol Toyota Seinna Vehicle ASP Ogbegbe shΓΈt him again three times at the station, ending the life of the young man.
