The family of a 23-year-old individual is seeking a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death at the Nigerian National Petroleum Company office building in Port Harcourt. The deceased’s father expressed shock at not having seen his son’s body yet, as he was informed by his younger son about a call to come to the police station. The father recounted the events leading up to the discovery of his son’s death and the lack of clarity surrounding the incident.
The distraught father described the confusion at the police station and the subsequent visit to the company where his son worked. He expressed disbelief at the lack of information about how his son fell and the absence of his son’s clothes. The father demanded justice and the opportunity to see his son’s body to confirm his identity.
The police spokesperson confirmed the incident and mentioned that an investigation was underway. Additionally, a rights group called for a comprehensive inquiry into the matter to determine the truth behind the incident. They questioned why the incident was not reported to the appropriate police station and urged the State Commissioner of Police to transfer the case for further investigation by the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department.
