This is not our concern..

Our concern is that EFCC doesn't have the right to enter someone's house in the night like thieves. If they do, anything that happens to them, they shd take it....

Changes nothing. The medical supplies man was at home with his family. People broke into his house. He thought they were thieves and shot them with a licensed gun, in order to defend himself. Maybe he is even suffering PTSD from the previous armed robbery attacks by thieves in the night.

A neutral court and a good lawyer would set him free.

The EFCC officers are well aware of the ban on night raids by the EFCC boss.

The first question his lawyer should ask EFCC officers on the witness stand is 'Are you aware of the ban on night raids by the EFCC boss?'

Good.
I dont know why his tribemen always support criminality. Once it's their tribemen, they will always support due to tribalism.

Mmesoma, Nnamdi Kanu, Simon Ekpa, Evans the kidnapper, Amaka that threatened other tribes with poison, now this EFCC killer.

what are you people smoking. We know Nigeria is a jungle but how do you enforce the law by breaking the law. An act that is illegal in itself cannot be perpetuated as "law enforcement ". otherwise it would defeat the concept of "rule of law" . it would be okay to commit murder in the process of acquiring evidence for a tax evader for instance.

The question is
What were they doing at his front door after scaling the fence at 3am?
Was there a warrant for his arrest?
Was he wanted for any offence ?
Clearly they didn't knw him frm Adam.
Being law enforcement does not grant u unrestricted access to private property.

Ogbeni.. in saner and civilized climes, evidence obtained thru false or illegal means such as unwarranted breach of privacy, breaking and entering without search warrant signed by a competent court of law wire tapping, entrapment etc can't be be used or admissible in a competent Court of Law. Nigeria has so much bastardized the Judicial system..we start seeing illegality as norm.
Was the accused at any time invited by the Agency? Was any investigation carried out on him?
I can bet my left balls no..
So in usual brigand style, they targeted their victims, they scaled the fence like thieves, barging in without announcing their intentions.. and you expect a family man armed with a licensed weapon not to protect his family?
EFCC has nothing on this man..and they know it . They were caught pants down and their feeble retort on X shows it.
The ranting of the NMA is a typical denial reflex of Associations in Nigeria..there no biggie about it.
Let the accused get a good lawyer and watch the case torn to shreds .
Highest charge is involuntary manslaughter..

It matters not whether the raid was unlawful.

Whatever was recovered in that raid is admissible as evidence (once it passes the tests of admissibility).

If they've found enough to charge him for cybercrimes, drug trafficking, etc, the mode of acquiring the evidence will not matter.

As for the so called act of 'self-defence', the court will consider if the reaction was equal to or proportional to the act that precipitated it. Did they break down his door? Did they force themselves in? Or did he just fire at them after he had seen them on his CCTV?

Unauthorised and illegal raids are undesirable but that does not make the evidence acquired during such activities irrelevant.

Now that the NMA has come out to disown him, the plot thickens.

Where were you when they tribalized the stampede incidence that happened in Ibadan

As long as the criminal is an Igbo. He is automatically innocent

EFCC will add this to the number of his criminal CV that they will present to the judge.

Ndimkpurummiri:
The Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, has described claim that one Joshua Chukwubueze Ikechukwu who shot an operative of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, dead during a raid on his residence in Awka, Anambra State is a medical doctor.

Dr. Obiaeli Ifeanyi, the Secretary of Anambra chapter of NMA said this in a disclaimer issued in reaction to claims in the media that a medical doctor shot an EFCC officer dead in Awka.

There have also been calls that the NMA should intervene in the shooting incident involving its alleged member on the social media.

Ifeanyi noted one of the publications, Ikechukwu who shot the EFCC officer dead in the early hours of Friday 17th January, 2025 at Dr. J.O. Ukwutinife Close, Ifite, Awka was also referred to as a medical doctor with Nnamdi Azikwe University Teaching Hospital, NAUTH.

But in the statement published on the X handle of Anambra chapter of NMA, Ifeanyi said findings by the Association so far have revealed that Ikechukwu is neither a medical doctor not a staff of NAUTH.

He added that Joshua Ikechukwu is also not a member of NMA Awka Zone of NMA as no member has been able to identify such a name as a colleague.

“⁠Joshua Chukwubueze Ikechukwu is NOT a Medical Doctor (not even an academic doctor) as widely published by the media though he deals on medical supplies and has been addressed as Doctor,” the NMA said while raising concern about what it described as flagrant abuse of the title Medical Doctor by imposters and quacks, dragging the image of the revered medical profession to the mud.

“By this NMA Anambra State wishes to notify the Media & EFCC that the said Joshua Chukwubueze Ikechukwu is NOT a Medical Doctor and that they refrain henceforth from using the title medical doctor for the suspect.


“We also demand immediate retraction of all defamatory publications from the EFCC & media where the suspect was addressed as a medical doctor. We urge the media to do due diligence before making their publications.

“While we commiserate with the EFCC and the bereaved family on this unfortunate incident, please be rest assured that the medical profession is a noble one and Nigerian Doctors are responsible and remain law abiding,” the Anambra chapter of NMA concluded.

His job or profession is a different topic for now.

The first thing is to establish whether the raid was lawful or unlawful.

Why not get acquainted with the Nigerian Criminal Justice system first before unleashing emotional vituperations?

Law accommodates no sentiments.

He can be arrested if he is reasonably suspected of having committed an offence. In this case, the EFCC's story is that its intelligence reports suggested that illegalities were being committed in the building.

Why not let us have ALL the facts before condemning the EFCC or the man now alleged to have committed murder?

Man some of you are just educated !d!0ts.
What do you mean by "Illegalities were being committed" . illegalities like what?
If you cannot even pinpoint the financial crime which he was suspected of comitting or trying to comitt, then where is the "intelligence" .
"Reasonable suspicion" needs to be based on verifiable information or specific and articulate fact, not unparticularised suspicion or a hunch, otherwise I could wake up and suspect you of assassinating Bola Ige or being a rapist.
After an illegal breaking and entry the EFCC is now beating about the bush, coming up with all sorts of cock and bull allegations and fishing for evidence, none of which are related to any financial crime or within its jurisdiction .
I wonder if you people realise how you sound sometimes
