Got this email with photos from a close friend of the family of the young man named Chibyke Edeh (pictured above) who was killed. I will share it exactly the way it was sent to me. Read below…
“I never thought I will ever have cause to go through such torment. The story I am about to share is worse than that of ALUU4. ALUU4 victims were murdered by civilians and not people meant to protect the masses…the Police.
The attached pictures are of a boy in his mid twenties. He was tortured to death by police men. Until his arrest and murder, he was working with Protea hotel in Benin. He was accused of stealing N45,000 from a guest in one of the rooms he attended to and as such was arrested, detained and not granted bail. The police then asked the parents to go bring N27000 for his bail. By the time they got back with the money, they were told he was dead. He was tortured until he died.
The person went on to mention name of the police station and officers involved but because I haven’t confirmed all these, I will leave all that out for now. Tried to speak with his brother, but said to call back. See photo of the young man after he was tortured below……..
