…Journalist Bribed to Paint Victim as notorious Armed Robber
THE Ondo State police command under its notorious police
commissioner has killed a community youth leader, Mr. Ajayi Bejide
and bribed a news reporter to manipulate the facts of the murder.
Sharpedgenews.com reliably gathered that two men of the Nigeria
Police, Corporal Hassan Shehu and Inspector John Jasper
Nwaegbu, in broad daylight, caused Mr. Bejide, a community youth
leader who was also until his death a community organizer for the
ruling Labor Party in Ondo State, bodily injuries that resulted in his
death.
However, the police who had initially tried to bribe the family of the
deceased with monetary inducement have now paid a journalist with
one of Nigeria’s newspapers to paint the deceased as the “kingpin
of armed robbers in Ayede Ogbese.”
According to sources in Ayede Ogbese, a small farming town along
Akure-Owo expressway in Akure North Local Government Area of
Ondo State, the late Bejide, was in his home when one of his
neighbors, identified as Mr. Adigbo, called in distress that the
deceased should assist in negotiating the release from certain
aggrieved youths the release of a gun seized from a police Corporal
Hassan Shehu, who had previously unleashed raw use of force
against those he accused of marijuana cultivation.
The deceased, allegedly still in loin clothes, was said to have left his
wife and five other friends to negotiate the release of the seized
police weapon.
Ajayi, the deceased, allegedly succeeded in taking the gun back to
the police station. After handling the gun over to the police, Corporal
Shehu and Inspector John Jasper Nwagbu allegedly asked him to
write a statement. The peacemaker and negotiator who assisted the
police to recover a gun was now being harassed by the police.
The policemen allegedly descended on him in the full glare of
onlookers, and pummeled him such that he started bleeding from
the ear, mouth and nose. Immediately, that Tuesday, the youth
leader lost the use of his arms and legs, suffering apparent
paralysis.
The police, sensing that trouble could come from relatives and irate
mob, asked for reinforcement. Ajayi was admitted on emergency at
the Federal Medical Center in Owo. But because he was in critical
condition, he was recommended for specialist care at the University
College Hospital in Ibadan, where he died on Wednesday at 3pm.
The Ondo State police commissioner initially offered to contribute
the sum of 10,000 naira towards the transportation of Ajayi Bejide to
the teaching hospital in Ibadan. The money, which was paid to the
family, was through a deputy police commissioner.
However, after the man died, the same police commissioner
advanced the family of the deceased another 100,000 naira through
the same unnamed deputy police commissioner.
Upon arrival in Ayede Ogbese from Ibadan where arrangements
were being made for the burial of the remains of the victim of police
brutality, the family was confronted by a publication in a copy of the
Sunday Mirror, with a story planted by the state police command
through a compromised news reporter, describing the extra-judicial
murder of the victim as a successful killing of the most notorious
armed robber in Ayede Ogbese.
The reporter, Biyi Adegoroye, was allegedly bribed with an
undisclosed sum of money to do the maximum violation of the
memory of a man unjustly murdered by the police.
The murder of Ajayi Bejide, a prince of the Osupa Ruling Family of
Akure who is also a grandson of the famous Sasere of Akure, has
exposed the Nigeria Police once again as the ultimate terror
organization in Africa’s most populous country. The police
incessantly raid Ayede Ogbese.
Police have decimated the population of a bustling cocoa-cultivating
community. They harass and arrest innocent children and violate
the women of the town at will. Recently, the police killed the two
children of one Mr. Ajileye. When questioned about the event, the
state police commissioner threatened to annihilate everyone in the
town.
