The family of late Godsent Obhafuoso has called on the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, to prevail on the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 5, to investigate the killing of their 28-year-old son by a policeman.

The family claimed that the policeman escorted a prominent resident to Uromi community, in the Esan North East Local Government Area on August 13, 2022, and fired bullets during a ceremony, which hit their son.

In a petition to the Inspector General, the family, through its lawyer, Olayiwola Afolabi, alleged that the police had been dragging foot on the investigation of the case.

The family said on the 13th of August, 2022, Godsent was hit by live bullet fired by one Inspector S. O. Ayemere at the funeral of the deceased master, Augustine Iyoha, in Uromi.
