Of Mother - Judgement Finally Delivered 30.01.2014, 18:25 Local Share this story Justice has finally come the way of the family of
slain Emmanuel Victor, a 20-year-old man who
was killed in front of his mother by a trigger-
happy policeman, Mathew Egheghe, two years
ago in Yenogoa, Bayelsa state. Victor was shot dead after he confronted a group of
policemen who were trying to extort money from
motorists as he was coming back from church. Angered by his effrontery to question their action,
policeman Egheghe moved close to Victor and shot
him at close range. Narrating what happened, Victor's mother Grace,
who witnessed the incident said: "They shot my son brutally. As he fell while they
were shooting him, the tallest of them still continued
shooting him on the ground". She said she was harassed and stopped from going
close to her dying son even as he lay gasping for
life in the pool of his own blood. Delivering his judgement on the case, Justice Lucky
Boufili said that such a cruel act was only
punishable by the maximum penalty which is death.
He sentenced Mathew Egheghe to death by hanging
