Ugo Ozuah was allegedly shot by men of the Nigerian police force in
front of the UPS office on the Gbagada Express way on Thursday
September 20th. He died early Saturday morning at a hospital in Lagos. Ugo
just got married last Saturday September 15th, 2012.
Details as to what really happened that Thursday night are sketchy but according to friends of the late
businessman, he was at the expressway with another friend trying to
flag down a taxi around 9 at night, when policemen pulled up and shot
him twice in the chest at close range. They said he was not resisting
arrest, he wasn't arguing with the police, he was not asked to identify
himself, he was just standing there with a friend and got killed for no
reason.
Sounds crazy to me! The IG of police has said the men that killed the
newly married man were not policemen...but they were wearing police
uniform, so who were they?
This is truly sad, and quite unfortunate! I can't even imagine what his
wife would be going through now. Hopefully, Ugo's family will get
justice for this senseless killing!
