– Journalist Bribed to Paint Victim as Armed Robber
THE Ondo State police command under its notorious police commissioner has killed a community youth leader, Mr. Ajayi Bejide and bribed a news reporter to manipulate the facts of the murder.
Sharpedgenews.com reliably gathered that two men of the Nigeria Police, Corporal Hassan Shehu and Inspector John Jasper Nwaegbu, in broad daylight, caused Mr. Bejide, a community youth leader who was also until his death a community mobilizer for the ruling Labor Party in Ondo State, bodily injuries that resulted in his death.
However, the police who had initially tried to bribe the family of the deceased with monetary inducement have now paid a journalist with one of Nigeria’s newspapers to paint the deceased as the “kingpin of armed robbers in Ayede Ogbese.”
According to sources in Ayede Ogbese, a small farming town along Akure-Owo expressway in Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State, the late Bejide, was in his home when one of his neighbors, identified as Mr. Adigbo, called in distress that the deceased should assist in negotiating the release from certain aggrieved youths the release of a gun seized from a police Corporal Hassan Shehu, who had previously unleashed raw use of force against those he accused of marijuana cultivation.
The deceased, allegedly still in loin clothes, was said to have left his wife and five other friends to negotiate the release of the seized police weapon.
Ajayi, the deceased, allegedly succeeded in taking the gun back to the police station. After handling the gun over to the police, Corporal Shehu and Inspector John Jasper Nwagbu allegedly asked him to write a statement. The peacemaker and negotiator who assisted the police to recover a gun was now being harassed by the police.
The policemen allegedly descended on him in the full glare of onlookers, and pummeled him such that he started bleeding from the ear, mouth and nose. Immediately, that Tuesday, the youth leader lost the use of his arms and legs, suffering apparent paralysis.
The police, sensing that trouble could come from relatives and irate mob, asked for reinforcement. Ajayi was admitted on emergency at the Federal Medical Center in Owo. But because he was in critical condition, he was recommended for specialist care at the University College Hospital in Ibadan, where he died on Wednesday at 3pm.
The Ondo State police commissioner initially offered to contribute the sum of 10,000 naira towards the transportation of Ajayi Bejide to the teaching hospital in Ibadan. The money, which was paid to the family, was through a deputy police commissioner.
However, after the man died, the same police commissioner advanced the family of the deceased another 100,000 naira through the same unnamed deputy police commissioner.
Upon arrival in Ayede Ogbese from Ibadan where arrangements were being made for the burial of the remains of the victim of police brutality, the family was confronted by a publication in a copy of the Sunday Mirror, with a story planted by the state police command through a compromised news reporter, describing the extra-judicial murder of the victim as a successful killing of the most notorious armed robber in Ayede Ogbese.
The reporter, Biyi Adegoroye, was allegedly bribed with an undisclosed sum of money to do the maximum violation of the memory of a man unjustly murdered by the police.
The murder of Ajayi Bejide, a prince of the Osupa Ruling Family of Akure who is also a grandson of the famous Sasere of Akure, has exposed the Nigeria Police once again as the ultimate terror organization in Africa’s most populous country. The police incessantly raid Ayede Ogbese.
Police have decimated the population of a bustling cocoa-cultivating community. They harass and arrest innocent children and violet the women of the town at will. Recently, the police killed the two children of one Mr. Ajileye. When questioned about the event, the state police commissioner threatened to annihilate everyone in the town.
