The Holy Bible says, the human heart is continually evil. A Police officer attached to Homicide Unit of Edo State Police Command Headquarters, decided to reduce the age of a 73 years old man to 43 to enable him charge him to court for murder because he could not meet his demands according to Kola Edokpayi, who also added that it was as a result of the inability of the old man's family to pay him (IPO) a sum of N500,000 for bail.
Kola revealed further that the IPO had to charge the man to court even when both parties had resolved their matter through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and affidavit of withdrawal was deposed at the State High Court by the Complainant to that effect.
