UNIPORT graduate: Father alleges policemen left NBA duty post before son’s killing

The family and friends of Anthony Obodo, a 22-year-old University of Port Harcourt graduate, have called for justice following his alleged killing by policemen in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Obodo's father claims that the officers involved had abandoned a duty post at the Nigerian Bar Association conference before the incident.

Protesters demanding justice have staged demonstrations, with one leader, Charles Chukwu, urging the Rivers State Government, the police authorities, and the Chief Judge to intervene. The state Police Public Relations Officer, Blessing Agabe, identified one of the alleged shooters as Corporal Alfred Louis, who has since been arrested.

The protesters have demanded that the officer responsible for the fatal shot be paraded before the family and the public to ensure accountability.
