Lilian Afegbai, a Nollywood actress, has deactivated her Instagram account, shortly after an old video of Carol Afegbai, her mother, recounting the killing of Ibrahim Momodu, a student, in 2013, surfaced online.
The actress had earlier joined #EndSARS protesters to
condemn police brutality in the country.
“As per my mother being dragged for murder, to the best of
my knowledge my mother who is now retired did not kill anyone. The police
officer (AMADIN IDAHOSA) that was attached to my mother’s station who killed
the suspect was sentenced to life imprisonment by Justice R. Irele-Ifijeh of
the High Court of Justice, Edo State in Charge No: B/CD/24C/2014,” she had
said.
A day after her denial, however, a video wherein Carol could
be seen speaking on the murder had gone viral online, forcing the movie star to
deactivate her Instagram account.
Checks on her account on Tuesday showed it had been
deactivated.
In the now-viral video, Carol had explained how she mistook
the student for an armed robber as the incident took place at night.
“It happened in the night, he didn’t talk, he didn’t utter a
word, we don’t know his name, we don’t know where he came from, only the one
that escaped and if we fired gun at him it will meet innocent people,” she
said.
The retired police officer also explained that her team did
not rush the student to the hospital after he was shot for fear of being
attacked in the night.
“To save the armed robber that wants to attack my men? If we
are attacked what happens? Will l say I accosted by armed robber on my way to
hospital and then we were shot… It’s night and I don’t know who is who, so I
can’t take that risk,” she added.
Quite a number of Nigerians have since taken to Twitter to
register their different opinions on the matter.

But I knew her mother Carol Afegbai in 2011. She stopped me on my way from church on Sunday morning and pointed a pistol at me. Arrested me as an armed robber.#EndSARS
