In this heartbreaking footage, a Nigerian mother describes how her son was reportedly shot dead in front of her by police officers in Rivers state.

”2019, May 11, a Saturday morning, my son and his fiancee with my daughter, Felicia Agori, had an issue about a cloth. She called her boyfriend, Victor Nelson, to come and flog her junior brother and his fiancee so they will respect me as their senior.

Come and flog him small to give me respect, she didn’t know it is to come and take the life of her brother and open her mother’s leg” the distraught mother said

Mrs. Agori said the officers, Bello Yusuf and Musa, allegedly assaulted her in the process, inserting a gun in her private part after accusing her of also being a kidnapper.

While testifying before the FCT Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Human rights violation by SARS, DCP Bello Yusuf who is one of the accused police officers, alleged that late Daniel was a member of a kidnap gang and that his family members were covering up his criminal activities. He told the panel that he and other members of his unit stormed the Agori apartment while acting on a tipoff that late Daniel was responsible for the kidnap of a 90-year-old woman. He told the panel that the officers recovered a locally-made single barrel gun from the deceased during the operation.

Mrs. Amori however dismissed DCP Bello’s claim, insisting her son until his death was a footballer.

”Because I refused to agree to a backyard settle, look at all what they are saying. They are saying all kinds of lies”she said

Mrs. Amori is demanding that the police release her son’s corpse to her for burial.
