Court Denies Bail to Trigger Happy Police Officer Who Killed Nursing Mum, Idongesit Udoh
Museliu Aremu, the trigger happy police officer seeking bribes from commuters at the Idimu area of Lagos who shot nursing mum, Idongesit Comfort Udoh, has been denied bail by Magistrate A.F.O. Botoku of the magistrate court in Ebute Metta. He was charged of murder after killing Idongesit in a tricycle while returning from church with her husband and other children (read here).
The police officer also allegedly shoot at her husband’s jaw and shoulder. The bullets also reportedly narrowly missed the couple’s 1-month old baby, whom she was breastfeeding.
The court ordered that he be remanded at Ikoyi Prison pending a determination by the Directorate of Public Prosecution about the suspect’s trial for the murder.
According to SaharaReporters, the police officer’s lawyer had not only asked for bail but also an order barring activists and the victims’ sympathizers from attending court sessions and agitating. The magistrate however dismissed the defense counsel’s petition, ruling that the protesters, led by female activist, Joe Okei-Odumakin, have the constitutional right to demonstrate for justice as long as they conducted themselves peacefully.
No be only bail, rubbish!
Very good. He has to be punished
He must be punish. Useless police men.
The hear of bail make me sick, bail ni bail ko, he that kills happily deserve to be killed too (God pls forgive me 4 this utterance).
He should also be fired some nice shots in the head, so he will know exactly how it feels. Dumb a**
Bail indeed, u shall suffer for your deeds
Nawah we aren’t even safe in this country God help us
He deserve death sentence
If our judicial system is like this,the rate of crime would have been reduced.Not the type that someone will commit a crime and say ‘highest I’ll be detained for some days and then granted bail to walk as a free man’
he should be punished for what he did
It serves him right
