Narrating the incident to Sunday Sun on phone, Aondona’s elder sister, Linda, said she got to know about the incident which took place on Tuesday, November 11, 2014.

“I knew that he left for Lekki with his friend and when he did not come back, I assumed that he had gone to spend time with his friends. When I was told that my brother was killed, my people visited the scene and saw the grave. We later discovered that the policemen were from Maroko police station and we went to lodge a complaint.

“They promised to invite SCID Panti to exhume the body, as it was not their job. At night, they came and exhumed the body and kept it in a mortuary. The DPO later called me and requested that they would pay us N10 million to end the matter. They said we should go home and think about it and get back to them.”

Furthermore, an in-law to the deceased, Dominic David, said, “They opened fire on him and shot him, and even when he fell down, they still continued to shoot.Initially, they wanted to abandon the corpse, but the owner of the house near where he was killed insisted that they must carry the corpse away.”

“They took his body to Lekki beach and buried him in a grave and covered the burial site with leaves and old carton. Unfortunately, some of the people who witnessed the crime knew us very well and alerted us. They promised that Panti was going to investigate the matter but up till date, they have not done anything about it.”

Meanwhile, six of the suspects are currently at large while five others are in police custody.

The Lagos Police Public Relations Officer DSP Kenneth Nwosu, who confirmed the incident said, “Five policemen are currently being detained, while State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, has since commenced an investigation. If found guilty, the officers will be made to face the wrath of the law.”
