“I thank God he has fought for me. I am happy.”

The convicts, Magus Awuri and Shedrick Obibo, are to die by hanging, the judge, M.O. Opara, said while delivering judgement,The convicts were among the five members of the SARS team including an Assistant Superintendent, Samuel Chigbu, Olisa Emeka and Ogoligo that were facing trial for killing Michael Akor and Michael Igwe, while in their custody.

Two of the police officers, Messrs Chigbu and Ogoli, however, died in the custody of the Nigerian Correctional Centre in Port Harcourt while the three others were still on trial. Addressing reporters after the judgement, the prosecution counsel said Mr Emeka was acquitted because they failed to prove the case against him, but added that justice had been served for the family of the deceased.

“They killed my son, carried our property in 2011. My son said I should forgive them, let them go and bring those things they took.“I said if you are carrying all that property, bring my son, I will be okay. I thank God he has fought for me. I am happy,” Mrs Akoro said.
