Officer Nuhu’s extrajudicial killing of handcuffed suspect in Delta likely spiritual attack: Police
The police have attributed the extrajudicial killing of a man in handcuffs by an officer, Usman Nuhu, in Delta, to potential spiritual forces.
“I will start with the issue at hand, which is a very sad issue. There is no explanation for this. I don’t just get what was wrong with that policeman (Mr Nuhu).
“Police cannot attribute problems to spirituality, but that may not be far from it. Because that’s the only explanation one can give to what he did,” Bright Edafe, the spokesperson for the police in Delta, said in an interview with Channels TV on Wednesday.
It was reported on Tuesday that a viral video showed a police officer in Delta carrying out an extrajudicial killing.
The victim has been identified as Mene Ogidi.
