His name is Esegine Uche Rickson. A 300 level
pharmacy student University of Benin with MAT NO PHA1300114. The incident that
led to the arrest began on a Sunday
morning, when Uche was returning from an all night retreat held the previous day at the RCCG headquarters Sapele road, Benin City.
morning, when Uche was returning from an all night retreat held the previous day at the RCCG headquarters Sapele road, Benin City.
A trailer (Long vehicle) approaching at full
speed almost hit the bus which Uche and other RCCG members were in. After the
near death experience, Uche then tried to pick up a phone that had fallen on
the floor of the bus, and tried to return it to the presumed owner (a fellow
church member and passenger in the vehicle) when he noticed blood stains on the
phone.
He realized the passenger was bleeding from
the mouth and head and immediately informed the driver. The bleeding passenger
was rushed to the Central hospital Benin City as it was the closest. But they
were immediately redirected to UBTH without being attended to. At UBTH the
injured passenger was immediately admitted and placed on oxygen as he had
already gone into a critical stage. However, all efforts to save him proved
abortive; he eventually died.
All the while, the parents had been in UBTH to
witness all efforts to revive their son.
But here is the twist;
The family of the deceased on Monday morning
went to the BDPA police station to make a formal complaint. No one knew what
they had put down as statement.
As a result, our student, Uche, the driver of
the vehicle, a church elder, the church pastor and accompanied by a church
member were all requested to report at the police station to give their
statement on Monday morning. But they were all unjustly detained without any
warrant of arrest or evidence of murder.
Our student was moved to the Nigeria police
station Aideyan Avenue Airport while the 4 others were moved from the BDPA
police station to the state CID.
Uche has been there since Monday 3rd JULY
2017. He has been imprisoned without any evidence of murder or warrant of
arrest. Bail grants have been refused. No autopsy or anything had been carried
out. This is unjust and inhuman. Uche is a student and his exams begins 10th
July 2017. He is in pharmacy school UNIBEN and a transfer student. He has no
chance of probating at all.
Uche is innocent. Free Uche.
We call on all everyone who cares to share
this post until Uche is released to write his exams.
