We mistook him for an armed robb£r — Kogi police admits to k+lling an innocent lawyer.
The Kogi state police command has opened up on the k+lling of Barrister Elias Ugwu last week Friday in Alade village, Dekina LGA of the state.
The victim had gone to pay ransom for his kidnapped cousin when he ran into a police team that k+lled him mistakenly. The police admitted that the Nsukka-based lawyer was k+lled in error.
In a statement by its Public Relations Officer, SP. Williams Anya on Thursday in Lokoja, the police said they mistook the late lawyer to be a member of the armed robbery gang that robb£d some banks a day earlier.
