The case was handed to the Ministry of Justice for prosecution with Five witnesses called, including a medical doctor, despite the alleged threats from some unidentified colleague of the killer police officer. Ekpese Esq, who is also the Secretary of the Nigerian Bar Association , Sagbama branch and the prosecutor of the case which lasted two years, argued that the conviction would help to rein in Police brutality.
“It is a form of victory, even though I don’t like to use that word, for the Ministry of Justice and NBA Sagbama because this is one thing we are also fighting as a branch through our Human Rights Committee. We are strongly against some of these things. Aside from this matter that I prosecuted, I am aware of one or two cases of Police brutality, the branch is handling, but this case was not one of them”.
