Sister Rejects Police Claim That Her Brother Was Armed Before Fatal Shooting in Effurun

The sister of 28-year-old Mene Ogidi says he was shot dead by police on April 26 in Effurun while collecting a waybill for a friend in Sapele. She explains he borrowed their mother’s phone after his own developed a fault and left home around noon. When the family lost contact, they rushed to the scene following reports of a police shooting. They discovered it was Mene but were barred from approaching his body before officers removed it. She denies that her brother was carrying a gun. There was no weapon in the car, she insists. Only after a BBC Pidgin video circulated online did they learn the full details of what happened.
