Final-year University Of Calabar Student Shot Dead By Trigger-happy Soldier, Friends, Family Seek Justice

Friends and family members of Gray Ekpezu, a final-year student of Genetics and Biotechnology of the University of Calabar, who was shot dead by a trigger-happy soldier, have called for justice.

A source told SaharaReporters that Ekpezu was with his friends on Friday night in front of his compound at Edibe Edibe, Calabar South, Cross River State and was accosted by a yet-to-be-identified soldier, who ordered that they all lay on the floor.

It was stated that Ekpezu was shot on the back by the soldier, who immediately left the scene afterward.

"Gray was shot dead on the 9th of July by a soldier. He was out with seven of his friends, including my elder brother; they were there around 9 pm when a soldier came and asked all of them to lay down with their faces to the ground. Suddenly, the soldier pulled the trigger and shot Ekpezu on the back. His friends wanted to rush him to the hospital but he was already dead.

"We later learned that the soldier was taken to Afokang Prison. The community people went to Afokang prison in Calabar South. They insisted on seeing the culprit, but the military men there said the soldier was newly posted to the area that he dropped the uniform and his rifle and fled. We don't even know what the truth is.

"We heard that the same soldier was apprehended at a Car park in Calabar and we don't want this issue to be swept under the carpet. That is why we are seeking justice.

"They told us that once the guy has been apprehended, justice will take its course but you know Nigeria. They said he would be arraigned in the martial court but there is no date for now. The military even told the wife to visit the prison on Monday but the guy's father said they should hold on till he returns from a journey.

"He was shot in cold blood; please we want justice for Ekpezu. He has a four-year-old son who keeps saying his father was shot."

The way all these nairaland misogynists make up stupid, fallacious statements is crazy! Seriously you guys should get a life. You don't know and probably will never know what's going on in their relationship.


BTW I hated this man's character in the Originals. Very boring and useless saying stupid things all the time.

Some youths in Ondo State have called on the government to consider immortalising the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, popularly known as Prophet T. B. Joshua, by naming an institution after the cleric.

They also urged the family of the late cleric to bring his remains to his hometown, Arigidi Akoko for burial.

The renowned Ondo-born cleric died on June 8, 2021, a few days to his 58th birthday in Lagos.

The youths, who are from the four local government areas of Akoko made the call at the weekend during a 'special walk' to honour the departed cleric in his hometown of Arigidi Akoko.

Speaking at the procession, the President of the Akoko Youth Forum, Mr. Ifeoluwa Ajibuwa described the late Joshua as a charismatic pastor, televangelist, and philanthropist who devoted his lifetime to the teaching of Christ.

He said the prophet was among the most philanthropic among the sons and daughters of Akoko who ever lived.

While noting that Prophet T. B. Joshua was a blessing to Akokoland, Ondo State, Nigeria and the world at large, Ajibuwa pleaded with the government to bury his remains in his hometown of Arigidi Akoko.

He said, "The man of God was a shining light that has shone on every country of the world thus making Akoko land a place in the hearts of the people around the world.

"Prophet T. B. Joshua was a philanthropist, a role model and mentor to this generation and his message of love and help for the needy made him irresistible among the preachers and televangelists in the world.

"We want him immortalised by the government because it is also the best way to remember him for his impact to the society and the people. He will surely be greatly missed by everyone and all over the world.

"Even, his contributions to the security, welfare and education sector of the state will always makes the vacuum created by his demise unfilled.

"We, the entire youths of Akoko want to make it a clear request to the family of the deceased and those concerned that his remains should be brought home to Arigidi Akoko for Burial."

Other speakers at the event also testified to the philanthropic nature of the cleric, saying his good works would speak after him.

They noted that his contributions to the security, welfare and education sector of the state was invaluable which they said would make it difficult for anyone to fill the vacuum created by his demise.

The monarch of Joshua's hometown, the Zaki of Arigidi-Akoko, Oba Yisa Olanipekun had also demanded that the remains of the deceased be buried at place.
