The
investigation on a taxi driver killed over N200 awaiting an autopsy result –
Police Boss
The result of an autopsy carried out on the body of late
David Okoniba, the taxi driver, who was allegedly killed by a moving truck
after being pushed by policemen in Benin, the Edo State capital, for refusing
to part with N200 is due to be out today says Edo State Commissioner of Police,
Mr. Johnson Kokumo
Mr. Johnson Kokumo, said the result of the autopsy will lead
to investigation and pave way for further action. He said: “When somebody dies,
the moment the matter is subject of investigation and possibly litigation or
prosecution, there must be an autopsy. “It must be performed by a pathologist
and tenderable in court.
That is the essence of it. The result should be out, but it
is not within my reach; I should have it tomorrow (today).
” Recall that Okoniba, a 28-year-old cab driver, was on
February 6 flagged down along with his wife, Ruth, by some policemen, who
reportedly demanded for his vehicle papers at the Igun axis of Third-East
Circular Road in Oredo Local Government Area, before the incident occurred.
