This is the unfortunate story of Ugo Ozuah. Ugo went to Kings College, Lagos and UI. He got married
saturday the 15th of Sept, 2012. He was shot by the Nigerian Police 5
days later on the 20th of Sept, 2012 right in front of the UPS office on
the Gbagada Express as he and his friend were flagging down a taxi cab.
The police pickup truck pulled up and shot Ugo twice in his chest at
close range as the bullet came out his back. He was not resisting
arrest, he was not arguing with the police, he was not asked to identify
himself, he just stood with a friend who came in from London to attend
his wedding. These policemen in uniform were drunk, IG of police has
said they were not his boys. I guess he saw them from his Abuja office.
If we don’t raise our voices in unionism we may not get justice for Ugo
so please keep broadcasting till someone listens and takes action. It
may be your brother, sister, friend, child, parent etc tomorrow God
forbid. But there has to be a process for the Police force. This
unnecessary killings by people that are meant to protect us must stop.
If they suspected Ugo he could have been shot in the leg, he should have
been asked to identify himself. Not killed like an animal and left to
die
