I have been receiving e-mails, texts, Blackberry broadcast that Ugo Ozuah was allegedly shot dead by men of the Nigerian police force in
front of the UPS office on the
Gbagada Express way on Thursday September 20th. Ugo just got married last Saturday
September 15th, 2012.
This was how it happened, he was at the expressway with another friend trying to flag down a taxi around 9 at night, when policemen pulled up and shot him twice in the chest at close range. They said he was not resisting arrest, he wasn't arguing with the police, he was not asked to identify himself, he was just standing there with a friend and got killed for no reason.
And come to think of it, the IG of police has said the men that killed the newly married man were not policemen...but they were wearing police uniform, so who were they?
This is truly sad, and quite unfortunate! I can't even imagine what his wife would be going through now.

Hopefully, Ugo's family will get
justice for this senseless killing!
What a pity? Poor wife...
