The father handed over the son the Madobi Police Station after policemen went to his residence in search of him over a case of neighborhood gang fight.
Nasiru Madobi, the father of the deceased told Daily Nigerian that as a law-abiding citizen, when his son returned home he took him voluntarily to the police station for interrogation.
“A quarrel ensued when a policeman started slapping and beating him in my presence after an argument. When another officer joined the quarrel to beat him, he started retaliating,” he said.
According to the father, three more policemen soon took sticks to beat his son to a pulp.
“The situation made me leave the police station immediately as I could not stand the pain of seeing my son being beaten on a simple matter that can be resolved among parents.
Crying profusely, Mr Madobi added that when he reached home he sent the elder brother of the deceased to plead with the police.
Also narrating how the incident happened, the elder brother to the deceased, Ahmed Nasir, said the policemen ignored his pleas and kept beating his brother until he fell down unconscious with his mouth foaming.
According to him, he had to pay N8,000 before police allowed him carry his unconscious brother to the hospital, where he was declared dead by doctors.
The family then appealed to the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, and commissioner of police to ensure that justice is served.
Spokesman for Kano Police Command, Abdullahi Kiyawa, confirmed the incident, saying four policemen have been arrested.
Mr Kiyawa said the case had been transferred to the Homicide Unit of the Criminal Investigation Department for proper investigation.
He said the command would take decisive action against officers involved in the killing after investigation.
The emir of Karaye, Ibrahim Abubakar II, also called for proper investigation into the death, calling on the commissioner of police to ensure that all those behind the act were brought to book.
And now the father will blame himself for the rest of his life
ReplyDeleteThis is sad
DeleteThis is wickedness, evil at its peak. I take laws into my hands in cases like this. I will surely revenge systematically, no two ways about it.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I will kill all of them
DeleteYou carried ur kid to his grave.
ReplyDeleteYour own blood.the policeman do u know how dirty he is???
Law abiding indeed
How can you say this. He did right by taking the boy rather than leaving him to become a fugitive. Obviously he thought his son is innocent.
DeleteSo sad.
The man did the right thing except that the police were wicked to the son.
DeleteLook at the handsome young man..a death that could have been avoided...Yes the father did well by reporting the son to the police for his involvement in the gang fight but why did he let them beat him up like that? this is the result of a failed system. What exactly was the torture for?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately this man would have to live with the knowledge that he led his own son to his death. Sad!
I wonder how his father feels now. May his soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeletei am so sure the father wasn't expecting things to turn out this way. this is so painful.
DeleteOh God😭 why did I open this? This is so sad. RIP dear
ReplyDeleteOh my God. Will Nigeria police ever change? Why beat him to that extend. Did he kill anybody? I feel for his family. Rest in peace young man.
ReplyDeletepoor boy, may your soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeletesimple questioning,look at how it ended the poor 👦 life. the policemen need to answer for this.
ReplyDeleteNa the father kill the boy. You took him to the police, Nigerian police? Over "gang related" fight. Upon that you left when they were beating him, because you can't stand the sight? Foolish man.
ReplyDeleteI know it looks bad but his father isn't at fault here.
DeleteThe police must have been harassing the poor man over his son's disappearance and frankly, he's going through enough already with his conscience.
Lord have mercy!
ReplyDeleteMy good God, Are this people human atall? RIP
ReplyDeletesuch a handsome young man, Nigerian police , killing citizens since 1914
ReplyDeleteThis is the reason y people hide their ward from the police. Law abiding my foot
ReplyDeleteJust imagine!!!!And when these useless policemen see thieves ,they run for their life,Rip young man
ReplyDeleteChai. And the man did the right thing o. He'll never forgive himself for this. RIP boy
ReplyDeletePolice brutality in Nigeria, has been crying to high heavens for justice.
ReplyDeleteThis is a clear case of murder and those involved should not be spared. Let’s start for once to tell these murderers in uniform that no one is above the law in Nigeria.
This situation would not accommodate the element of provocation. It’s a clear case of lawlessness and should be so treated.
May his soul Rest In Peace.
Oh Lord😩😩
ReplyDeleteWhich way Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteAm feeling so sad and at the same time irritated reading this story.
They still had the mind to collect money after the boy became unconscious.
Are these police men really human?
I pity the father o. His life will never remain the same, imagine the psychological trauma..
Law abiding indeed...for Nigeria?

ReplyDeletethis is disheartening ������
I guess the dad is happy now, nonsense!
ReplyDeleteMr Man, you're a coward. Why didnt you stop the policemen THERE & THEN. You had to send someone else to do it for you. If he had pleaded with them, they would not have continued with the beating. What a lifetime of regret!
ReplyDeleteOh my God 🙁 this is so disheartening!! Such a handsome boy. Rip to him.
ReplyDeleteDevils in uniform.
ReplyDeleteThe first step is to hunt down 1 member of the police men's family too. so they feel what its like to have a child killed. yeye idiots dem
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad. May his soul rest in peace
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad to hear...
ReplyDeleteEnter your comment...So sad... Animals in black
ReplyDeleteGod will judge these wicked policemen. why not interrogate this boy before maltreating at the station. May be they want to impress a big man concerned with the case. May God deliver Nigerian police.
ReplyDeletei am not surprised,most corrupt organs in Nigeria (@olokpa)
ReplyDeleteThis one of the reasons no one has sympathy for the police whenever they run into any troubles, such as when soldiers beat them up or even kill them
ReplyDeleteEnter your comment...Nigeria police will never change.I pledge to Nigeria my foot
ReplyDeleteEnter your comment...i hope those thief's in police uniform will be dealt with. animals in police uniform that don't know when to stop.why can't Nigeria police copy good thing for their lives.
ReplyDeleteNo one should blame the father as he did the right thing. The boy must have been involved in certain gang-related things for the father to hand him over to the police. If all parents reported their wayward children, maybe all these gang related crisis would be over.
ReplyDeleteThe police officers must face the law.
Seriously, the Nigerian police needs total overhauling and reform. How can they allow the boy die without doing anything when they found out he was unconscious?
ReplyDeleteAnimals in uniform!
Ds is do so sad!!!! police & wickedness sha!!!
ReplyDeleteNow the boy's dad will live in regret all d days of hs life. Ds is bn patriotic gon wrong.
He shud go afta d policemen ooooo & nt allow dem go scot free. R.I.P 2 d dead
