The Kogi state police command has opened up on the killing of Barrister Elias Ugwu last week Friday in Alade village, Dekina LGA of the state.
The victim had gone to pay ransom for his kidnapped cousin when he ran into a police team that killed him mistakenly. The police admitted that the Nsukka-based lawyer was killed in error.
This was disclosed in a statement by its Public Relations Officer, SP. Williams Anya on Thursday in Lokoja, where they stated they mistook the late lawyer to be a member of the armed robbery gang that robbed some banks a day earlier.
