Okija_juju:

Or an ex-cultist who got payback for a hit he carried out during his school days.. Some people actually think they have out run their pasts.. I know that several people have died like that before..

The story is very incomplete.. Two shots in the chest is definitely an assasination/execution, not a random shooting.

ehie: the police pulled the trigger,the doctors probably denied him treatment,police should be charged with murder,and the doctors negligent homicide and be struck off,both r murderers

Abali1: I noticed that almost everyone who has responded and said they have had an encounter with the NPF, always mention some kind of prior exchange. Am yet to read of someone who says that the police drove up to him/her and opened fire without any form of arguement or physical encounter.
For the avoidance of doubt I have also been a victim of the NPF brutality(you can visit the thread about police brutality and read my account). If things had gone bad that day(cos I almost fought the policeman whom I had an encounter with) they would simply have labelled me a "kidnapper" because it was at the height of the kidnapping era in Abia State.

In Ugo's case, we are meant to believe that there was no form of arguement, neither was he accosted in any form. The "drunken NPF" just drove up to where he and his "friend" where waiting for a cab and shot Ugo twice.

I wish Stormm and some of his other friends and family, the KC old boys etc will set aside their emotions and ask some insightful question.

May Ugo's soul RIP. My heart really goes out to his widow. This is one of those stories you hear and you will never wish to go outside your house, for fear of the unknown.

Royalty1: For all those accusing the friend, here is the full story as reportred by punch. It sheds more light on the whole issue.

 When on September 15, 2012, Ugochukwu Ozuah, married Joan, his girlfriend of nearly two years; family and friends rejoiced with them at The Redeemed Evangelical Mission, Lagos.

The 36-year-old man and Joan then stayed at the Whispering Palms, a beach resort in Badagry, for three days for their honeymoon.

The couple’s joy was however cut short on September 20, 2012, when the groom was allegedly shot and killed by policemen attached to the Anthony Division.

Ozuah, an indigene of Anambra State and Mechanical Engineering Graduate of the University of Ado Ekiti, was allegedly killed close to the UPS Bus Stop along Oworonsoki-Oshodi Expressway while dropping his friend off.

The friend, Erikefe Omene, who came from the United Kingdom to attend the wedding, told PUNCH Metro that he still could not understand why the policemen shot the deceased.

He said, “I went to visit Ozuah at his house at Oke Olowo Estate on Thursday. When it was around 10pm, I wanted to leave but he said taxis were not allowed into the estate so he decided to drop me off outside the estate where I would get a taxi. We got into his car, a Honda CRV, and he drove out. As we approached the expressway, there was an ash/blue car that stopped around the same time to drop someone.


“An individual came out of the car which was now parked side by side with ours. Because of the manner with which it was parked, I didn’t know the type of car it was. Policemen approached the said car and I thought it was just a routine check so we didn’t pay it much attention.

“Ozuah parked the car and we both alighted so we could stop a taxi but before he could shut the door, one of the policemen said, ‘Who’s there? Who goes there?’ And shot Ozuah who then fell flat on the floor. Individuals from the ash/blue car suddenly ran behind Ozuah’s car to where I was and I thought the policemen might come around to shoot. So, I ran back into the estate.”

Omene said he went to the deceased’s house to inform his wife of what had happened. He said Joan, and her in-laws took another car and drove back to the scene.

He said upon returning to the scene about 10 to 20 minutes later, he saw more policemen standing near Ozuah who was lying down in a pool of his own blood.

He said, “By the time we arrived the scene, there were many policemen there. The Divisional Police Officer said he just received a phone call that someone was shot. I then told the DPO that it was a policeman that shot my friend. The DPO then asked me to explain and I narrated the story to him. He said, ‘Are you sure it wasn’t someone in black that shot your friend?’

“At this point, Ozuah’s wife started shouting that we should rush him to a hospital. Although he wasn’t moving, his body was still warm. So, we laid him on the backseat and her brother-in-law drove him down to the hospital.”

Omene said he remained with the DPO and reiterated what had happened but the DPO was adamant, saying the killers must have been armed robbers in police uniform.

Omene added that he and the DPO then drove to the hospital where the doctor said Ozuah was dead.

It was learnt that Omene immediately went to the police station where he wrote a statement.

Ozuah’s remains were said to have been deposited at the morgue of Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja

kemifemi: If u have ever had an encounter with the NPF, u'll agree with me that they are capable of doing anything.
Feb 2011 is a month I will never forget in a hurry! My fiance was on his way home from my place when a policeman accosted him between underbridge along airport road and afariogun arnd oshodi.
He narrowly missed d first shot( the dent is still very visible as d bullet hit d door of the drivers side), then immediately got on a bike and chased his car! Unfortunately there was traffic on that road. Before my fiance could say Jack Robinson, he fired another shot at the front tyre and called him a thief. Before u know wetin happen, about 10 policemen had surrounded him. They forced him to drive to their station after the trigger happy cop had deflated his tyre!
He insisted on speaking with the DPO nd explained himself buh d he took sides with his men! He had to put a call through to his uncle who fortunately is an asst AIG before he was released. The cop was made to buy a new tyre and was also locked up.
Now if u heard d story, u'll probably not believe it.
If u see police and snake, u beta kill d police first o.
May ugo's soul rest in peace
