Dennis was shot and
wounded around 2:00am in his house in Ugbiyokho Area of Benin when the police
stormed the house allegedly in search of internet fraudsters.
According to lawyer, Jefferson
Uwoghiren, who shared the story, stated that the raid was conducted by police
officers of the Special Anti Robbery Squad, Edo State Command.
"This young man, Dennis
Amadasun was rushed to my office early this morning, a victim of gunshot by
careless and negligent police officers attached to the Special Anti Robbery
Squad, Edo State Command.
Dennis was shot and wounded around
2:00am in his house in Ugbiyokho Area of Benin when the police stormed the
house allegedly in search of internet fraudsters!!! Bleeding and weak from the
injury, Dennis was abandoned and left to die by the officers.
His angry relatives brought him to
my office,whereupon I advised that the matter be reported at the nearest police
station. Dennis was taken to Evbuotubu Police Station where the galant DPO
politely asked him to leave. Since his men, didn’t participate in the raid, why
should he bear liability for treatment?
With no police report, private
hospitals declined treatment. Thanks to Dr Philip Ogbodaga, the management of
Specialist Hospital, Benin agreed to treat Dennis subject to their Security
Protocols.
This evening the police brought
money to support the ongoing treatment and they informed me that Dennis was
never a target of their raid.
This bloody incident is a painful
lesson in reckless wickedness. There are some things you learn best in calm,
and some in the storm. This storm will also subside."
