Demand for Justice: The Suspicious Death of Inspector Peter Sparks Outcry for Autopsy and Investigation

Inspector Sunday Peter, a native of Benue State, Nigeria, and a dedicated member of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Nigeria Police Force in Lagos, embarked on his routine patrol on Thursday, May 16, 2024. Tragically, he did not return home. The following day, his family received the devastating news of his demise under suspicious circumstances.

The initial explanation provided by the police suggested that Inspector Peter fell ill during patrol and subsequently passed away after being taken to the hospital. However, further inquiries revealed inconsistencies. Investigations at the hospital indicated that Inspector Peter was brought in already deceased. Additionally, examination of his body at the mortuary unveiled alarming evidence, including cuts on his neck and bruises on various parts of his body, raising significant doubts about the official narrative.

Amidst the confusion surrounding his death, authorities in Lagos have discreetly urged Inspector Peter's family to expedite burial arrangements without a comprehensive explanation of the circumstances leading to his demise. The urgency to lay him to rest without a thorough investigation has sparked concern among members of the community and prompted a call for justice.

Notably, Inspector Peter's wife, also a police officer, faces a dilemma as she grapples with the loss of her husband and the pressure from the police establishment where she serves. Nevertheless, a petition has been lodged with relevant legislative representatives to intervene and ensure that the truth behind Inspector Peter's death is uncovered.

The outcry over Inspector Peter's untimely demise resonates beyond his immediate family and community. Nigerians from all walks of life are urged to stand in solidarity and demand transparency, accountability, and justice for this dedicated public servant who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

The urgency to conduct a thorough autopsy and investigation is underscored by the broader implications of unchecked fatalities within law enforcement agencies. The lack of clarity surrounding Inspector Peter's death highlights a systemic issue that demands attention and resolution.

As the nation mourns the loss of yet another police officer under suspicious circumstances, it is imperative that all stakeholders, including legal professionals, civil society organizations, political leaders, and concerned citizens, unite in their quest for truth and justice. Failure to address the circumstances surrounding Inspector Peter's death not only perpetuates injustice but also undermines the integrity of law enforcement institutions.

In conclusion, the demand for justice for Inspector Peter transcends individual grievances and underscores the collective responsibility to uphold the principles of accountability, transparency, and integrity within Nigeria's law enforcement agencies. Only through a comprehensive investigation and adherence to due process can his family and the nation find closure and prevent similar tragedies in the future.

INSPECTOR PETER MUST NOT BE BURRIED LIKE CHICKEN

This is a Benue born Inspector Sunday Peter, attached to the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Nigeria Police Force in Lagos.

Inspector Peter, who hails from Epeagbo Otukpa, in Ogbadibo LGA of Benue State, left his house for a normal daily routine of patrol with his colleagues on Thursday, 16th May 2024 but never returned home.

On Friday, 17th May, at about 7am, one of the colleagues called the younger brother that Inspector Peter was dead and had been deposited at the morgue. JUST LIKE THAT?

The Police claimed he fell sick during the patrol and he was rushed to the hospital but they requested for a deposit of 100k, and before they could raise the money, he died. But a discreet investigation at the hospital confirmed the Man was brought in dead.

Also, a check at the mortuary where the corpse was kept, revealed that the deceased had cuts on his neck, bruises around his body and his lower region, suggesting that he was k!lled.

Now the Police authority in Lagos is secretly reaching out to the family to hurriedly bury the corpse by next weekend in Otukpa, without telling us what actually k!lled the gallant officer. The Lagos State command has printed posters for his obituary and released signal to that effect.

The wife of the deceased is a police officer too, from Edo state and may not want to make issues with the Police authority where she serves.

A petition has been submitted to the office of the Member representing the deceased and the Senator representing his senatorial district at the National Assembly. If nothing is done urgently, the body of this innocent Man who gave his all to serve this country but was betrayed by his colleagues, would just be taken to Otukpa next weekend and hurried like a chicken.

I'm calling on all well meaning Nigerians, even if you're not from Benue, to rise to this occasion and demand for autopsy and thorough investigation into the death of this young bread winner. This is not the first Police officer that would be k!lled and brought home to burry in our locality, without knowing the source of their deaths.

I don't know the deceased or any of the family members in person, but I'm calling on Lawyers, CSOs, good spirited individuals from Benue, especially our political leaders, to stand up and demand for justice for this young Man. I can imagine the pains the wife and children would be passing through now. And no one is talking about this, until he is burried like a chicken next week. GOD FORBID!
