Journalist’s widow petitions Senate - The Nation Nigeria

Mrs Francisca Ogbu, wife of a journalist, Alex Ogbu, who was allegedly killed by the police during a Shiite’s protest in Abuja, has petitioned the Senate.Mrs. Ogbu insisted that the police, having allegedly killed her husband and breadwinner, should take responsibility for the upkeep of his family.

According to Moro, an autopsy carried out on the body of the journalist showed that he died from a bullet wound in the head. “This was confirmed by the media and eyewitness account and further buttressed by the spokesperson of the Federal Capital Territory Command in media reports that men of the Nigeria Police Force shot at protesters.“Mr. Ogbu was shot and killed by trigger-happy policemen who used live ammunition to disperse protesters and ended up killing and maiming innocent citizens going about their legitimate businesses,” Mor said.
