OpEd: Three Years Since Comrade Alex Ogbu Was Murdered By The Police- We Still Fight For Justice By Dimeji Macaulay | Sahara Reporters
Ogbu was doing his job as a journalist, reporting on the demonstration when he was gunned down. Initially, the police claimed that he died because he fell and hit his head, but then it was revealed that he was actually shot in the head by a senior police officer. Many civil society groups and social movements condemned the gruesome killing.
The death of Alex Ogbu has left unimaginable pain to his loving family and comrades, whose world has been turned upside down. Amidst their pain, Alex’s devoted family and comrades have found the strength to appeal publicly for Nigerians to join them to fight for justice. They remain absolutely steadfast in their determination to bring the killer to justice and get the appropriate compensation.
The police are the guardians of the capitalist system- fight for a socialist society where everybody can live without exploitation, oppression, poverty and injustice! Comrade Gbenga Komolafe, the General Secretary of the Federation of Informal Workers Organisation of Nigeria , said, “The point is that the Nigeria Police Force is a creation of British colonialism. It is a brutal force employed to kill, steal and destroy. They were the enablers of colonial plunder, suppression, oppression, humiliation and destruction of the ‘native’; not just his person but his culture and essence.
