We were at the station this morning and paid a condolence visit to the family.
“The grieving man that is holding his head with his two hands in the photo is the husband of the deceased lawyer. He could barely utter a word while we were in his house
“This is how terrible our country has become. The police that is supposed to protect citizens is killing Nigerians with impunity.

“UPDATE: I’m now hearing that the officer’s name is “ASP Drambi Vandi.” We were earlier told that his name is ASP Ayuba. The police should come out clean on the identity of this killer policeman. We understand he’ll be due for retirement soon. He must not be shielded for any reason.”
