Blueprint

The Senate Wednesday demanded the prosecution of the policemen who allegedly tortured to death, a former cleaner with a Chinese restaurant, Mr. Shedrack Ochoche.

It specifically asked the law enforcement agency to come up with an explanation as to why they murdered the poor worker.

It consequently insisted that the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali, must dentify the policemen who tortured and killed the young Ochoche and make them to face the law.

“The Nigerian Police should be made to take full responsibility for the young struggling family Ochoche left behind,” the Senate added.

The resolutions followed consideration of a motion moved to that effect by the Senator Abba Moro (PDP Benue South).

Moro, armed with a petition from the deceased family, told his colleagues that the 29-year-old Ochoche was arrested by the Police on January 17, 2022.

He said the young man, who was a former worker at a Chinese restaurant in the Jahi area of Abuja, was his constituent.
