He travelled to Anambra as a police escort to the CEO and owner of \u201cThe Young Shall Grow Motors,\u201d Chief Amaechi Obianodo, on Wednesday, November 24, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen he got to Anambra, he called to inform us he had arrived. The last person he spoke with on Wednesday night was my younger brother, Akubo Moses, about 7p.m., and they discussed about his school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Thursday morning, my dad\u2019s lines were switched off, which was unlike him as he usually called almost every three hours daily when he was at work or at home. He was that caring to his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/12\/01\/nnamdi-kanus-family-blasts-orji-kalu-after-visit-at-dss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">family<\/a>. Because this had never happened before, my mum was really worried but I kept calming her down, saying the network in the village was probably bad, which was why we could not reach him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Friday, I was at work when I got a call from my mother. She was crying. She said my dad and other escort policemen were kidnapped on their way to the airport to pick Young Shall Grow transport boss. I left the office immediately to Ogun State, where our family house is to meet my mother. Friday passed without any news from the Police. My uncle in Abuja was the only one calling to give us any information he got on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Saturday morning, my younger brother went to my dad\u2019s office at the Lagos State Police Command to get some information regarding the kidnap but it was not open because it was a weekend. So, the whole family decided to wait till Monday. Unfortunately on Sunday morning, news reached us that my dad and his colleagues were ambushed and shot at. Few of them escaped but my dad and two others were injured and couldn\u2019t run. They were caught and my dad was slaughtered and the barbaric act was recorded by the killers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Monday, November29, 2021, my younger brother, Moses Akubo and some of my dad\u2019s friends (also Police officers) went to lodge a complaint on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey met with the unit head, SP Amanda and his assistant, DSP Comfort, who acknowledged that my dad and members of his team were sent on a special duty to Anambra but that they were yet to hear from them. They said they were still on duty. During this meeting, my dad\u2019s friends showed them the video clip of how the officers were murdered but she denied that my father wasn\u2019t the one in the video.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLater in the evening, a press statement was released by the office of the Minister of Information and Culture confirming that my dad was one of the policemen murdered in the video by IPOB\/ESN. His name and Force number were disclosed in the released statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven at that, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Police Command, is yet to admit that my dad is dead. Rather, he said the command was yet to receive any information from the Commissioner of Police in Anambra and as such, those officers cannot be declared dead until the report reached him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe video of my dad being killed was released and the police that sent him on that duty are yet to admit he is dead. If they are taking this long to confirm his death, I wonder how long it will take them to find the perpetrators and bring them to book.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven Chief Obianodo that demanded police officers as escorts has kept mute on this matter. We haven\u2019t heard from him. My dad\u2019s motorbike is still parked in Chief Amaechi Obianodo\u2019s compound in Ikoyi, Lagos, where he had hoped to pick it when he comes back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe death of my dad has brought so much pain to the family and we demand justice. My mum hasn\u2019t been herself since Thursday last week. The news has left her shattered. She is a shadow of herself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLate Inspector Akubo Emmanuel was an honourable police officer who didn\u2019t deserve to die that way. He left behind five children: Akubo Samson, Akubo Blessing, Akubo Moses, Akubo Favour and Akubo Precious. We are pleading that all hands should be on the deck to bring the perpetrators to book,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blessing, daughter of Inspector Emmanuel Akubo, one of the policemen, who were beheaded and burnt by suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in Anambra State last week, has expressed displeasure over police silence since the horrific sight went viral on social media.
