Keke Driver whose Wife was Killed by Police Dies of Gun Injuries
The Keke Napep driver, Godwin Ekpo, whose wife was shot dead
by a policeman at the Ijegun area of Lagos over N200 bribe has died in
the hospital where he was receiving treatment for the injury sustained
from gunshot.
According to his brother, Godwin died at the Lagos State University
Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, where he was taken for treatment early morning
of Saturday.
The victims were shot by a killer cop, 28 year-old Aremu attached to the
Isheri Osun Police Division in Alimosho Local Government Area, when
they were returning from a church programme on Wednesday. They were in a tricycle (Keke Napep) belonging to the family when the incident occurred.
Godwin met a police checkpoint at Obalagbe bus stop, where other
tricycle riders were being reportedly extorted by an eight-man police
team.
As they approached the bus stop, a police officer identified as Aremu
Musesiu, reportedly opened fire on the tricycle when the couple refused
to give the cops bribe. The bullet pierced through the tricycle back
side and hit Idongesit, who was breast feeding her three-month-old baby.
She died on the spot while her husband, Godwin who was also hit by
bullet sustained serious injury and was rushed to Ikeja General Hospital
where he eventually died.
