The Inspector responsible for taking Chinedu from us has finally been held accountable by the court. My heart is heavy with relief that we secured justice for Chinedu and his family. Thank you for staying by my side while I fought for the truth.

I am writing this petition to bring the attention of the general public to the recklessness at which some Nigerian Policemen operate. This recklessness has cost my dear friend the life of her husband.

Mr. Chinedu Uzor was returning from a social club meeting on the 19th of July 2015 at about 10:00pm, and as a usual habit of his, he drops off members who are not mobile, he had just dropped off all but one and decided to join the Enugu-Abakaliki express way, but rather than get to the turning, he joined the road through the pedestrian walkway, when he did this, the policemen on patrol noticed this, and pursued the car, unknown to Mr. Chinedu,he had no idea the people chasing him were policemen because they shot sporadically into the air while chasing him. He just wanted to run to the nearest checking point for safety

On getting to Sperando junction, he stopped at the checking point there, put his car off and raised his hands whilst still seating inside the car, screaming at the policemen to come and help him. The other patrol team came there,double-crossed him and one Mr. Agbor Onwe Emmanuel, an inspector, in charge of Van 023 from Ezzamgbo ( A mobile policeman from Abakaliki headquarters) , came down from the van and shot Mr Chinedu on his head and and arm at close range with an AK-47 gun.

This isn't how the Nigerian Police is supposed to protect its citizens. They have even gone as far as offering to buy the witnesses' silence.

I am requesting that justice prevail, no life is more important than the other, everybody deserves a right to fair hearing and life.

Attached are pictures of the the wound to his head. Viewers Discretion is Advised.

Please help sign this petition, it's about time we Stand for fairness and Justice. Spread the word.

Thanks for your attention on this matter.

It's high time this extra judicial killings stop, this is a family"s bread winner and someone"s spouse. No one is safe, are we going forward or backwards in this country? Justice needs to prevail @ least for the police to regain their lost sanity and stop being trigger happy!!!

The police who are supposed to protect us cannot be the ones ending our lives. How can we be more scared of police than even robbers? This must end! Justice must prevail. I call on the concerned authorities to make sure the officers in question face the full brunt of the law.

We need justice for Chinedu. Nigerians should be safe in their fatherland. We need to bring to an end the 'i am above the law ' attitude by prosecuting and purnishing all law breakers. what a waste of human life!!

The culprit must be brought to book. Let it serve as a deterrent to others who feel that because they wield the gun, oppression will be the norm. The Nigerian Police needs a total overhauling!!! It is rather sad and pitiful!!! Shows the decay in the whole system #justicefor chinedu...

This is Sad. The police should be our protectors from evil not the other way around. Who do we run to? Why must they shoot anyone without fair hearing? Who gives the order to take anyone's life? Sigh!!

This is just sad and horrible. Someone's husband, father, son, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, friend. May his soul rest in peace. May God console his family in this dark moment. I hope this case is followed to a logical conclusion.
