In as much as I love your advert, but your suggestion is like asking one to move from heaven to hell. That they authorities are investigating the cause of his death is a plus to their system. Compare that with what happens here....how innocent people are killed at minimum provocation....

Mr Man, there was use of excessive force (taser) probably because of his imposing height and weight. The security agents are prone to the use of force when dealing with huge sized suspects

hisexcellency34:
Nigerian government won't investigate because they are afraid of Trump

Nigerians in diaspora would prefer to die a beggar in diaspora than to deal with spiritual, physical and mental slavery here in Nigeria. You call 55 million Naira but how many Nigerians in diaspora will ever save such an amount? How many Nigerians lliving in 9ja will ever save up to 10 million in their lifetime? Forget all these yahoo boys and entertainers making it seems easy, majority of Nigerians were born poor, lives poor and will die poor.

DonCaxton:
Tragic.
But why was he running in and out of traffic?

Nigerians in diaspora should return, unless you have something really great going on there.
They need to come home and develop their country.
For example, there's this fantastic one plot now for sale at Opebi with a C of O, at a give away price of 55m. A 'Diasporan' can offer to buy that, build something cosy and enjoy being at home with 8,033,540,956 other Nigerians.

Instead of running in and out of traffic upandan.

Nothing will come out of the investigation, you are deluded if you think an investigation of the death of a black person in the US by the hands of police is treated as nothing more or even less than a dog dying. You people have been watching to many CNN or Hollywood movies.

One of the worst countries in the world to resist arrest from the police is America. As a black man for that matter. Especially an immigrant black man.

Not every time bro, hope you heard about Office Jason Van Dyke case.

Majority of those in diaspora live as slaves and will die as slaves. This was just one of them.

planetx:
That was one in a million case, they found him guilty to prevent blacks from rioting in Chicago. 99% of the time white police officers that kills black people are never charged or found guilty if charged. Go and read about the coverup in the Jason Van Dyke case and how they covered up for him since 2014 when he shot the 16 year old black kid 16 times.

abbey621:


It's better to live and die slaves while earning foreign currency than to live and die in our country where cows have more value than human lives

Antichristus:


Excessive force remains within the remit of US Police Departments. If you can watch this BBC programme which addresses the issue of US Police Departments tasering physically and mentally challenged people and killing them in that process. It's not about being huge, tall or short. If they perceive danger to their lives, they'll taser or gun down the person - not justifying it but simply saying it's their modus operandi.

All of the deputies who were involved in the confrontation have been placed on paid leave:

Firstly, you are wrong about Van Dyke case.

Secondly, it's a pity that systems are designed everywhere to protect police including Naija.

Thirdly, despite i never support police brutality, most of these guys always put themselves in arms way by evading arrest and cursing police officer armed with guns.

Note: Back African-Americans killed themselves every day in gang related war but nobody will mention it. All they keep on saying is "BLACK LIVES MATTER"

Smh...

A 36-year-old Nigerian father of one who died following a violent struggle with police, on Wednesday, has been identified by the San Mateo County Coroner’s Office as Chinedu Valentine Okobi.

The confrontation occurred on the 1300 block of El Camino Real in Millbrae about 1 p.m. Wednesday.

The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office said Okobi was running in and out of traffic and “immediately assaulted” a deputy who tried to make contact with him.

Four other deputies helped take Okobi into custody. One of them fired a Taser, said San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe, whose office is investigating the death with the coroner.
Okobi was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The deputy Okobi allegedly attacked, was also treated at a hospital for unspecified injuries.

The deceased was not armed, but he stood 6-foot-3 and weighed 330 pounds, Wagstaffe said. All of the deputies who were involved in the confrontation have been placed on paid leave.

The investigation, which will include Okobi’s official cause of death, is expected to take no more than 10 weeks.

However, in a post on Facebook, his elder sister, Ebele Okobi, said he was struggling with mental issues.
