JUST IN: NSCDC Officer In Abuja Killed By Policeman In The Presence Of His Wife, Children(Video)

Great tragedy happened in the early hours of Wednesday in Nyanya, Abuja, when a policeman allegedly mercilessly beat up and killed one Ogar Jombo, a two-star officer of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), for committing traffic offences.

According to Sahara Reporters, the incident happened near a branch of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) around Nyanya market, when the demised was driving his two children and wife. It was gathered that he was driving his children to school and he made a U-turn at the wrong spot, but was flagged down by the police officers on duty at the spot.

Findings revealed that Ogar pleaded that he was rushing to drop the children in school. Ogar was said to be in uniform and also identified himself as an officer.

However, according to the report, all entreaties made by the deceased fell on deaf ears, as one of the police officers jumped on the bonnet of the vehicle, while the other one descended on him with a baton. At this point, his wife and children intervened and pleaded on his behalf. He was, however, allegedly beaten to a stupor and died in the process.

One of his children was quoted as saying: "Please, don't kill my father; leave my father alone.”

When SaharaReporters visited the Asokoro General Hospital, the remains of the deceased had been deposited at the morgue, while his wife and some sympathisers were seen weeping profusely.

Efforts to get a word from his wife, identified as Ada, proved abortive as she was very emotional.

According to eye witnesses, the Police had attempted to take the corpse away with a view to dumping him somewhere, but they intervened and followed them to the hospital where the corpse was deposited.

The Commissioner of Police, in Charge of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr. Bala Ciroma, who was at the General Hospital to console the family of the deceased, has already ordered the arrest of the officers who committed the crime.

Heavy tension is percieved in the area, as youth and relatives of the deceased have vowed to burn down Nyanya Police Station if the officers involved in the act are not arrested and prosecuted.

The slain officer hails from Otukpo in Benue State and was recently promoted to Assistant Superintendent of Corps (ASC)
