allegedly shot dead Saturday evening in Festac town by a police officer identified
as Sgt. Otene.

As soon as they got to Festac second junction, a police
team sighted them and went after them with a motor bike. They allegedly dragged
Oyoma down from his jeep and demanded he give them a bribe. According to
witnesses as he was about explaining his ordeal, Sgt. Otene who was said to be
drunk at that time shot Oyoma at close range.

Reports say Sgt. Otene has been arrested, but they fear
little or nothing will be done about the incident, because this is the third
time similar cases have been reported at the same police station.
