The lawmaker representing the Benue South Senatorial
District, Abah Moro, has petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, Usman
Baba, over the killing of one Shedrack Ochoche who was allegedly tortured to
death by some police officers in Abuja.
Shedrach, a former worker at a Chinese restaurant in the
Jahi area of Abuja, was accused of stealing the car battery of his ex-boss, a
Chinese woman popularly known as Madam Pimpim.
A family member of the deceased, Napoleon Otache, said the
allegation came five days after he resigned from his job because he was owed
for three months.
Outraged by the incident, many Nigerians on social media
have demanded justice for the victim.
Moro, who vowed that there must be justice for late Ochoche
asked the Nigeria Police Force to come out with a clear explanation of the
controversy surrounding the death of Ochoche.

The petition read in part, “To ensure that justice is truly
gotten for Shedrack Ochoche, I, today submitted a petition to the Inspector
General Of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, over the gruesome murder of the
young man. I also copied the Executive Secretary of the Human Rights
Commission.
“Like I prayed in my petition to the Senate over the sad
incident, I’m requesting that the IGP and Human Rights Commission ensure that,
“The Nigeria Police Force comes up with an explanation as to why they murdered
Mr Shedrack Ochoche over a frivolous allegation, which was baseless and without
proof.
“Late Ochoche never confessed to the stealing of any battery
and was not charged to or arraigned in any Court of competent jurisdiction but
tortured to death over a mere allegation.
“To ensure that the men of the Nigeria Police Force who
tortured and killed young Ochoche are identified and brought to book.
“Ensure the Nigeria Police Force takes full responsibility
for the young struggling family Ochoche left behind.”
